5-Star Hotels in Dolenjske Toplice

For a restorative escape built around thermal waters, consider Dolenjske Toplice. This small spa town in southeastern Slovenia has been a wellness destination for centuries, centered on its modern Terme Krka complex. Visitors come to soak in the warm, mineral-rich pools, but the surrounding Dolenjska region offers more. You can explore the mysterious caves of Županova Jama, sample the local Cviček wine in the nearby vineyards, or visit the historic Otočec Castle, which sits on an island in the Krka River.

The town is compact and walkable, making it an easy, relaxing choice for couples and families seeking a health-focused holiday. It’s less suited for those wanting nightlife or extensive shopping. Dolenjske Toplice is about an hour's drive southeast of Ljubljana, and having a car is the most convenient way to explore the beautiful, rolling countryside, though local buses connect to Novo Mesto, the regional capital.

Accommodation here is dominated by spa hotels and guesthouses that often include thermal bath access in their rates. On HOTEVI, you’ll find options like the large, activity-packed Hotel Šport, the comfortable and centrally located Hotel Dolenjske Toplice, and the more intimate, family-run Gostišče Pri Zajcu.
