HERITAGE & MOUNTAIN ROOTS

The Best Hotel in Plav, Back After More Than 30 Years

Hotel Minka Plavsko Jezero is more than a hotel; it is an open gateway to the untouched alpine majesty of Plav, situated at an altitude of 906 meters beneath the dramatic peaks of Prokletije.

After more than 30 years, a hotel once considered one of the most important tourist and hospitality facilities in the country is back in operation and ready to welcome its first guests. Revitalized through thoughtful architectural restoration that honors native stone, timber, and lakeside light, we proudly welcome international travelers seeking genuine hospitality, clean mountain air, and profound serenity.

From our overwater terrace, guests watch the morning mist rise over Lake Plav—the largest glacial lake in the country. Directly across the waters rise the Accursed Mountains, offering world-class trekking, crystal-water kayaking, and authentic culinary indulgence.
