Bansko in southwestern Bulgaria is the Balkans’ largest and most popular winter resort, the premier skiing hub of Southeastern Europe. Bansko is totally worth a visit in the warmer months too — whether for a chill spa retreat,  a remote workation or a more active and outdoorsy holiday. In each of these cases, staying at White Art Holiday Apartments is a wonderful choice.

The spacious (72 m²) and cozy apartment is located in the four-star St. Ivan Rilski spa complex on the quiet outskirts of Bansko. By renting a private apartment in the resort’s largest spa complex, you get the best of both worlds. For a small surcharge, you have easy access to the hotel’s extensive spa facilities, including both heated indoor and outdoor pools and an adults-only spa zone. And if you’re looking for convenience, you can take advantage of the hotel’s ample breakfast, lunch and dinner offerings. But you can also try out the traditional taverns in town, because you’re not tied to an all-inclusive meal plan.
