Green Resort

Fancy feeling some fab fresh water on your skin? Scoot on over to the Radlje Water Park waterpark next door for days of sunbathing on the beach and splashing in the waters. It’s all totally natural here – plants and sand are used as filters to keep the water clean and chemical-free so it’s particularly fine for sensitive skins and small swimmers. Active times can be had on land too – the forests around the place have plenty of hiking trails, including four that are themed to help visitors learn a bit more about what they see around them. Horse riding and an alpine adrenaline park are nearby, and you’re within an hour’s drive of more intrepid outings including underground cave kayaking at Mežica and rock climbing at Burjakove Peči (one of the country’s finest climbing areas). If you’re travelling with bikes, it’s worth noting that Green Resort is handily placed for the 366-kilometre Drava cycle route. If you’re seeking something to sip on your terrace at sunset, make your way to Maribor, 45 minutes away – Slovenia’s top wine area has plenty of tours and tipples to try.
