A futuristic mountain lodge trades rustic timber for sharp contemporary angles high above the western Serbian pines.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This futuristic structure rises above the treetops in a setting where one might expect a more traditional mountain lodge.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Zlatibor's town centre and lake are a short walk away, surrounded by pine-covered hills.
The rooms
Natural pine and smooth stone line the rooms, and larger suites open onto wide terraces.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor pool sits under a starlight ceiling, flanked by stone pillars and wooden loungers.
The spa
Treatment suites host LED facials and hot stone therapy, using products from 111SKIN, Amouage, and Elemis.
Steam room and gym
Curved heated benches line the mosaic steam room, set beside a stone basin and a fully equipped gym.
At the table
KUMO Rooftop serves Asian plates overlooking the pine ridges, and Libertador pours spirits in a leather-lined lounge.
How it began
The property takes its name from the Serbian word for pine tree, opening in late 2023 with an intentionally futuristic silhouette.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

A place apart: the property is the destination.
