Ulcinj's Magical Curative Powers

Known as Zenska Plaza in Montenegrin and Zonja Plazhi in Albanian. Locals have long believed that Ladies Beach and its sea caves offer curative powers for ailments, and specific help to women with fertility issues.
The Sands of Velika Plaza - Also known as Long Beach (and Plazha Madhe in Albanian), is one of Montenegro's great natural assets - it is the country's longest contiguous beach and its most famous Adriatic beach. The beach is well-known for being covered with the finest sand (the diameter of a grain is 0.1-5mm) with such a fine quality that it is reputed to have medicinal and therapeutic qualities.
Coastal Pine Forests - The woods of Biogradska Gora are simply a phenomenon, situated on slopes with as much as a 1,000 meter vertical rise, along with Lake Biograd's serene beauty. The woods are one of three remaining primeval forests in Europe.
Nudism at Ada Bojana - the Ada Bojana (Ada Buna) area of the Ulcinj coast is a popular destination with international travelers to Montenegro, and perhaps most telling, among Montenegrins as well. Some of the most scenic portions of Velika Plaza (Long Beach) are here in Ada Bojana, which along with the daily fresh fish catch, attracts a multitude of beach-goers on any given day.
Valdanos Olive Groves - The site of the largest expanse of olive groves in Montenegro, Valdanos offers both the treatment potential of olive oils, and the fun fulfillment of generations of locals. According to Ulcinj tradition a man cannot be married until he has planted at least one olive tree.
Meditations on Lake Skadar - One of Monenegro's national treasures with its 44 kilometer length and a reputation as this region's Loch Ness. A national park, Skadar Lake's serene environment provides the perfect setting for personal meditation, whether on the waters, or sitting with an endless view.
Stari Grad Ulcinj - The scenic old walled town of Ulcinj - known as Stari Grad Ulcinj or simply Stari Grad, was founded in the 5th century BC by the Colchinians. Before the Colchinians, the Illyrians, a people of Indo-European origin, were active in the Ulcinj-Bar "South Coast" region since prehistoric times.
Inspiration on Mount Lovcen - Any spa experience must also be inspirational. Lovcen National Park does not disappoint and is a short day trip from Hotel Mediteran Ulcinj.
