Built in 2017, Blue Mountain Resort is a welcoming, family-friendly hotel with impeccable cleanliness; friendly, English-speaking staff and outstanding facilities.
All of the apartments are suited to families and feature a small kitchenette; storage for your luggage; a bathroom and a balcony. The living room has a flat screen TV and pull-out sofa, whilst the bedroom features squishy mattresses and black out curtains for a good night’s sleep.
Linen, towels and robes are provided, and housekeeping will make a couple of visits during your week-long stay.
There is a whole world to explore inside your hotel:
A near constant winner of Gala Beauty’s best in-hotel spa award, Blue Minerals Spa is at the top of its game. Flickering candles, relaxing oils and soothing music welcome you into this little oasis of calm, which offers a range of treatments, including:
The food is served buffet style, with an infinite array of options.
For breakfast, there’s always a selection of cereal, pastries and fruits, as well as hot food, including eggs, sausages, bacon and pancakes. Endless lattes are at your fingertips, so you can load up on energy ahead of a big day of activities.
At dinner, there’s always a warming soup to get you going, as well as salads, cheese and cold meats.
There are meat, fish and vegan options at every meal, and you can have as much as you like, mixing and matching your way to a full belly. Even the fussiest eaters will manage to fill their plates, and those with sweet tooths will love the dessert options.
Though your activities will be keeping you pretty busy, there’s still a little time to explore Szklarska Poreba and its surrounds.
The town itself is full of cute shops, cafes and restaurants – if nothing else, make sure you make time to try a chimney cake, an Eastern European sweet treat with a crisp, pastry exterior and a pillowy bread interior. Delicious!
From town there are many walks to go on around the Karconosze and Izery mountains; you’ll stumble upon waterfalls, bathe in the green glow of the forest and find heaps of well-worn trails – the latter curated to teach you about the history and customs of this unique area.
If you go at the right time of year you’ll find the forests full of basket wielding locals, foraging some of the most fairy-tale looking mushrooms you could imagine.
