Yastrebets Wellness & SPA, Borovets, Bulgaria

· 3km from the resort centre · Yastrebets Express next to hotel · located on ski slope "Yastrebets 3"

For a luxury stay in the quiet woodland that surrounds the lively resort of Borovets, head to the ski-in, ski-out Yastrebets.

Winner of Bulgaria’s Leading Resort in 2014, 2015, 2016 and now 2017 at the World Travel Awards, Yastrebets is held in high esteem, and it’s not surprising why. Sitting at an altitude of 1600m, a stay at the hotel ensures fresh, mountain air and picturesque surroundings which all help to relax, rejuvenate and revitalise you.

At the Yastrebets, you have the choice of staying in the hotel itself – in modern rooms decorated in warm colours, and with views of either the slopes or the pine forest – or in a Finnish chalet, located a short walk away from the main hotel building. The chalets are built from whole timber of Finnish pine, have their own private saunas and allow you and your party a little privacy and tranquillity in the snowy woodland.

After a day on the slopes, the first thing you should do is make your way to the hotel spa, it's a truly sensory experience with exotic aromas and ambient lighting. You can relax in uniquely designed steam rooms and Roman baths before diving into the indoor pool, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out onto nature.

If you’re after a drink and a dance – you’re in Borovets, after all – you don’t have to pay for a taxi into the resort centre because the hotel has its own nightclub. Though if you’re not up for a big night out, the piano bar, with live music, is equally as fun.

What makes the Yastrebets even better is their attitude to the environment. With a range of eco initiatives - from covering the swimming pool at night to preserve the water temperature, to the use of energy-saving light bulbs throughout - they go the extra mile to maintain their surroundings as well as ensuring the highest possible quality, hospitality and service for their customers.
