Luxury Lake Bled & Ljubljana
Discover Slovenia’s natural beauty and rich culture on this luxury holiday. Start with two nights in Ljubljana at the stylish Hotel Heritage, where you’ll stay in a superior room overlooking the Old Town. Wander the city’s cobbled streets, vibrant squares, and iconic bridges before heading to Lake Bled.
At the Rikli Balance Hotel, contemporary comfort blends with Slovenian heritage. From your lake-view room, enjoy panoramic views of Bled Island and the Julian Alps. This holiday offers a perfect mix of nature, culture, and relaxation. Nestled in the Julian Alps, Lake Bled shines year-round: spring brings blooming landscapes, summer invites boat rides and lakeside strolls, autumn offers warm hues for peaceful walks, and winter’s snow-dusted charm creates a festive atmosphere.
