Why Fall Is the Best Time for a Wellness Getaway
In the summer, Prlekija invites you to be active, while in the fall, it invites you to slow down. After the grape harvest, the hills turn shades of yellow, orange, and copper; mornings are foggy, while afternoons are often still sunny. It is precisely this contrast—the cool air outside and the warmth of the sauna inside—that is the essence of a good wellness getaway in the fall.
October is also the month when people return to their daily routines and feel the need for a break. A spa weekend in Slovenia, just two hours from the capital, is the perfect solution that doesn’t require taking time off work: you head out after work on Friday, and by Sunday afternoon, you’re back home, feeling refreshed.
Pool temperature: the heated infinity pool is open until mid-October—its edge blends into the hills as far as the eye can see.

Spa in Sibon: saunas, a salt room, and massages in a wine cellar
The spa in Sibon covers more than 300 m² of indoor and outdoor space. It is designed as a retreat, not a water park: there is no noise or crowds here, just silence, wood, and views.
What Awaits You at the Spa Center

Rooms for Couples: Deluxe and Suite
The Sibon Resort combines simplicity, elegance, and modern design—wood, warm colors, and large windows that offer views of nature.
Deluxe Room – a very spacious room with a king-size bed, two armchairs, a small table, and a comfortable sofa. Natural light, views of nature, bathrobes, a minibar, a safe, and air conditioning.
Suite – a bathroom made of natural materials, wood, and large glass surfaces; a bathtub or shower, bathrobes, and a view of unspoiled nature. The comfort of the room is enhanced by the sunrise or sunset.
When making your reservation, ask about having a bouquet and sparkling wine in your room—it’s a wonderful surprise for a romantic getaway.


Dinner with Wine: The Flavors of Prlekija for Two
The cuisine at Sibon is based on the Prlekija culinary tradition, which combines tradition and technique with local ingredients, as well as vegetables and herbs from the home garden. In the fall, this means pumpkin, mushrooms, chestnuts, and dishes with wine-based sauces.
For special occasions, Sibon offers romantic dinners for two featuring three, four, or more courses, accompanied by a glass of wine, in the magical atmosphere of Jerusalem.
At the wine bistro, the in-house sommelier selects wines that showcase the local region—paired with cured meats and cheeses.
Breakfast is a buffet featuring local delicacies, served daily from 8:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. with a view of the vineyards.
If you’d like to spend the evening elsewhere, the hotel recommends nearby restaurants, including Gostišče Taverna, located on a hill between Svetinje and Jeruzalem.
