After a day on Kolašin's ski slopes or summer trails, you come back to a four-star mountain hotel with its own pools, a Turkish bath and a spa.
Hotel, Kolašin. Meridian Dispatch.
Yes. The indoor pool is open year-round, with a jacuzzi fitted with hydro massage jets beside it, while the outdoor pool opens only in the summer months, weather permitting, so a winter stay keeps its swimming indoors.
Yes. Parking at the hotel is free for every guest, which makes a car a practical way to reach Kolašin and to drive on to the mountain roads and parks around the town.
Podgorica International Airport is the nearest, about 80 km away by road. The hotel lists an airport transfer among its services, and reception can confirm which airports it covers and arrange it ahead of arrival.
The spa is open from 9:00 to 21:00, and its thermal zone keeps shorter hours, from 16:00 to 20:00, which suits a late afternoon back from the slopes or the trails.
No. Children stay at the hotel, and the indoor pool area includes a separate children's pool beside the main pool. The spa admits children under 15 until 19:00 each day.
A Standard Room measures 15 square metres, an Executive Suite 74 square metres and the Presidential Suite 178 square metres, the largest of the room categories the hotel lists across its floors.
Modelled on the traditional Montenegrin mountain house, Bianca Resort & Spa grew out of the Hotel Bjelasica, which first took guests in 1948. The building was remodelled and reopened under its present name in 2005.
Inside, the rooms and public spaces are warm and chalet-style, and artworks by Montenegrin painters hang throughout the hotel. Tall pine trees close in around the building, and the windows look out across the forest to Bjelasica Mountain. The centre of Kolašin is a short walk away.
In winter Kolašin offers skiing, snowboarding, ice skating and outdoor spa sessions, and in summer its trails lead out to the surrounding rivers, lakes and forests for hiking and cycling.
Eight floors hold the rooms and suites, which run from the Standard Room up to the Executive Suite and the Presidential Suite. Each room has a minibar and a safe.
Breakfast is a buffet in Restaurant Chives, the main dining room, which also serves buffet lunch and dinner alongside an à la carte menu. In the lobby, the Aperitif Bar pours Italian coffee and serves light snacks.
Guests use the pools, the jacuzzi and the Turkish bath at no charge, and the thermal zone has separate saunas for men and women. The spa's four treatment rooms, one of them a couples' suite, take bookings through the hotel.
On a summer stay, drive the ten kilometres or so from Kolašin to Biogradska Gora National Park for a day in its forest. For a longer outing, carry on to Komovi Nature Park, which takes in part of Kolašin's municipality.
If you arrive by rail, allow for the 1.5 km between Kolašin station and the town centre.
The town
Pick your season before you book: in winter you ski on the slopes above the town, and from June the same mountain is walking country, with a primeval forest a short drive away.
