Institut "Dr Simo Milošević" A.D. Igalo

The Institute for Physical Medicine, Rehabilitation and Rheumatology "Dr Simo Milošević" JSC Igalo, founded in 1949, is one of the largest and most renowned multidisciplinary spa and thalassotherapy institutions in the Balkans. It sits on the Adriatic shoreline at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska) in Igalo, part of the Herceg Novi municipality, and operates as a combined hotel and medical rehabilitation resort serving around 19,000 users a year from some 50 countries.

Natural healing factors

• Igalo therapeutic sea-mud ("Igaljsko blato"): A natural peloid whose therapeutic effect is documented across a large number of patients; the abundance of this healing mud made Igalo one of the largest peloid health resorts in Europe.
• "Igaljka" mineral water: A local mineral water used as a key factor in treatment and rehabilitation, including in medicinal baths.
• Thalassotherapy: Treatment using the natural factors of the sea and shoreline – the Mediterranean climate, seawater, sun radiation, aerosols, sea peloids, sand and seaweed – for respiratory, rheumatic and skin conditions.

Pools, baths & hydrotherapy

• Heated mineral-water pools kept at 33–34°C for hydrokinesitherapy (therapeutic exercise, swimming and walking).
