Status Three state-owned plots with parameters set in the Detailed Urban Plan of Žabljak
Black Lake (Crno jezero)
Three state plots in the highest town in the Balkans, the gateway to Durmitor National Park: a greenfield 250-bed resort, the refurbishment of the existing Jelika holiday resort, and a small four-star forest hotel next to it. Planned together, they make a year-round mountain cluster.
The location
Žabljak is the gateway to Durmitor National Park and the base for its ski area at Savin Kuk. Its visitors come for winter sports, hiking, rafting on the Tara, cycling and family holidays, and summer is already busy.
The three plots offer different entry points into the same town: a new resort with room for phased development, the refurbishment of the existing Jelika holiday resort, and a small four-star hotel set in park forest beside it. An investor can take one or plan them together as a single cluster with shared services and year-round programming.
Being inside the national park area brings constraints on design, density, energy and water use. Operators with experience of sensitive mountain sites, and a plan to buy locally and employ local guides, will find the authorities more receptive.
Plots
| Plot | Designation | Area | Allowed |
|---|---|---|---|
| UP 542 | Tourism T2, tourist resort | — | 250 beds; at least 30% green area; phased development allowed |
| UP 892 | Tourism T1, existing Jelika holiday resort | — | Existing building kept at its current built capacity; capacity to be verified |
| UP 892a | Tourism T1, Jelika II | — | Minimum four-star; up to 50 beds; access reserved from the south; park-forest concept |
The private opportunity
A greenfield resort, a refurbishment and repositioning, and a low-density forest hotel that can be developed together or separately.
Who it suits
Developers and operators of mountain hotels and resorts, eco-lodge and wellness specialists, or a consortium that pairs accommodation with year-round outdoor activities.
How the land is made available
Long-term lease or, where the law allows, sale of state land. A PPP only where the project includes a public-interest component, public infrastructure, works or services.
Conditions
- Inside the Durmitor National Park area; sensitive landscape, energy- and water-efficient operation expected.
