Glamping in the Balkan region in 2025 means experiencing untouched nature and luxury without having to spend a fortune.
In the Balkans, you can climb 2500m high mountain peaks, cycle around mesmerizing lakes, go skiing right next to your glamping accommodation, or go on adrenaline-packed kayak tours.
On the other hand, glamping accommodation will probably include a jacuzzi or a private sauna, where you can relax after a day of adventure. Most glamping spots in the Balkans offer breathtaking views of mountains, lakes, or rivers.
The food? Mostly organic and locally grown.
Your hosts, pioneers in something that’s still relatively new for the region, are well known for their hospitality and the drive to create the best glamping accommodation.
We’ve picked 7 of the most interesting ones. Keep reading to find out what activities await you in Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Oblun Resort - Montenegro
The hosts were very creative in designing Oblun Eco Resort. It features regular glamping tents, a 120-year-old restored villa, a campsite, and a mirror cabin!
From the outside, it looks like someone connected 4 enormous mirrors and hid them deep in the forest. However, once you step in, a sense of excitement and intimacy overwhelm you.
Now that’s what we call unique glamping accommodation!
They are especially proud to offer you a farm-to-table dining experience in their restaurant. Some of the fruits and vegetables are even grown right there at the resort. You can go ahead and pick a few for yourself!
Go kayaking on Lake Skadar, hop on a boat tour along the Rijeka Crnojevica River, or learn more about Montenegrin literature by visiting Njegos’s Mausoleum. It’s located at Lovcen Mountain, where you can find a way to experience panoramic views of the Kotor Bay – from a cable car!
Little Cottage Dream - Bosnia and Herzegovina
Little Cottage Dream is a perfect choice for an active vacation in a peaceful spot. Here, you can wake up to a memorable view, put on your hiking shoes (or grab your snowboard), and go for an adventure.
This cottage is ideal for two people, but it can accommodate up to four. It has a bathroom with a bathtub and a kitchenette with a mini-fridge and a coffee maker.
The living room is where the magic happens: there are floor-to-ceiling windows with gorgeous views of the mountain.
The Ponijeri Ski Center is only 4 minutes away by car. You can rent skiing equipment there and book a skiing or snowboarding lesson with Little Cottage Dream’s instructor.
There’s plenty to do in the summer, too. Light up the barbeque in the backyard and eat outside in the shade.
An hour away from the ski center (on foot) is the National Park Tajan, home to rivers, lakes, waterfalls, and mountain peaks. A true hiker’s paradise!
Nesting Resort - Slovenia
Nesting Resort is located right next to Slovenia’s second-biggest city, Maribor.
That means you’ll visit charming squares, wander around city parks, and see the oldest vine in the world (yes, the plant, not the drink).
The hosts of the Nesting Resort believe in delicate details, so here’s what’s also included in the price:
- a ride on the longest zip line in Slovenia
- wine tastings
- surprise breakfasts
Additionally, you can expect high-quality, traditionally made meat and herbal soft drinks made from organically grown herbs.
Glamping Resort Halicanum - Croatia
The Medjimurje region in Croatia will make you think you accidentally booked a flight to Tuscany. Indulge in the wine and the rich gastronomical experience of the region – and sweat it off on a bike.
Cycling is big in Medjimurje, thanks to the excellent infrastructure. Here, you can cycle through villages and across vineyard hills.
In the Glamping Halicanum cabins, you’ll get to feel that sense of luxury in every corner, starting from the 65’’ TV, floor heating, luxurious bathroom, and your very own sauna.
The Halicanum Restaurant serves traditional local food and you can treat yourself to a massage in their wellness center.
In Medjimurje, there are plenty of adrenaline parks, sports centers, and aquaparks. You can even book a hot air balloon ride!

Paunova koliba - Serbia
Paunova Koliba looks like a cabin straight out of a Scandinavian forest.
Paunova Koliba features a fridge, a microwave, and a shower. It has everything you need for a week’s stay, but the jacuzzi will make you want to stay for a month!
This two-person A-frame cabin is located 40km away from the Rudnik Thermal spa. So, when you get bored of the warmth of the jacuzzi, you can trade it for a pool.
At the same time, Rudnik is popular among hikers. The 13km round tour, which is marked as ‘easy’, takes you to three mountain peaks. It makes a great addition to your time devoted to relaxation.
However, you don’t need to venture too far away to feel the peace of nature. Simply walking around the meadows near the Paunova Koliba is an amazing experience itself.
Go Life Centar - Slovenia
The Go Life Center in Tuhinj Valley has a wide range of offers for campers and glampers of any level and experience.
They offer camping and campervan spots, as well as:
- Glamping standard – a small cabin with a shared toilet
- Glamping cottage LUX – a 2-people cottage with a huge window, a balcony and a bathroom
- Glamping suite LUX – a glamping apartment for up to 4 people, kitchen and bathroom included
The case is similar for hiking: there are easy trails and the ones for hiking enthusiasts. You can also go climbing, road cycling, and mountain biking here.
Durmitor Glamping - Montenegro
Montenegro may be a small country, but there are more than a few glamping spots worth visiting.
One of them is Durmitor, a national park with lakes, waterfalls and a 2523m mountain peak.
Durmitor Glamping is a bubble dome made for 2 to 4 guests, featuring a well-equipped kitchen, a TV, and an outdoor jacuzzi. The seating area will make you feel at home – if your home was a giant bubble!
The glamping tents are located less than 4km from the Black Lake, one of the most beautiful lakes in Durmitor National Park. You can rent a bicycle and cycle around the lake.
If you’re feeling even more courageous, climb the highest mountain peak in Montenegro, Bobotov Kuk. Just keep in mind that this trail is a tough cookie. Advanced hikers only, and only with an experienced guide.
