Sportsko rekreativni centar - Samar

Ribarska Banja is a natural thermal-mineral spa set in the forested hills of central Serbia, within the municipality of Kruševac. Long established as a healing resort, it combines its warm, mineral-rich springs with a modern sports-recreation water park, a dedicated spa centre and a full medical rehabilitation facility, all surrounded by centuries-old woodland.

Thermal-mineral water and springs

The resort is built around its natural thermal water, which feeds the open-air bathing pools and underpins the therapy programmes. The warm mineral water is the resort's defining natural healing factor and is used both for recreational bathing and for hydrotherapy treatments.

Pools and the SRC Samar recreation centre

SRC Samar (Sportsko-rekreativni centar) is the resort's sports and recreation centre, laid out as a mini water park ringed by century-old forest. It offers:

• Three pools – a children's pool and two adult pools
• Water slides for added fun and adrenaline
• An in-water bar with accompanying amenities
• Summer night-swimming sessions on Saturdays (21:00–23:00)

Beyond the pools, the centre provides a tennis court, beach volleyball, a small sports field, bicycle rental and a café and pastry shop.

Spa, wellness and therapy

The Spa Centre offers massage therapy for individuals and couples, body and skincare treatments, anti-cellulite programmes and radiofrequency (radio-wave) facial lifting. As a rehabilitation resort, Ribarska Banja also runs an extensive medical programme including hydrotherapy, thermotherapy, kinesiotherapy, electrotherapy, ultrasound and magnetic therapy, phototherapy, occupational therapy, spinal decompression, a hyperbaric chamber, bone-density (DXA) testing and MRI imaging.

Accommodation and dining

The resort provides on-site accommodation together with restaurants and cafés, including the Viđikovac café. It also hosts congress and seminar facilities, a library and an art gallery.

Family and setting

With its dedicated children's pool, water slides and open grounds, the centre is geared to families. The whole resort sits in a tranquil, forested valley, giving visitors a natural woodland setting for both recreation and recovery.
