The fire, which broke out little after 5pm yesterday, destroyed the entire inventory and the roof of the building, the Information Centre said.
Firefighters from several volunteer firefighting stations intervened to quickly put out the fire and minimise the damage.
The cause of the fire is not clear yet and the damage is yet to be assessed.
Vasja Čretnik, head of sales and marketing at Terme Olimia, told the STA today that police had inspected the site last evening. Workers cleaned up the facilities today, so the pool area and all other facilities that were not affected by the fire reopened today.
