Located in the Western Rhodope Mountains overlooking the Batak Reservoir, the complex has two hotel buildings with a total capacity of 150 guests, offering rooms, apartments and villas. It is geared towards family tourism, group visits and corporate events, and includes a restaurant with a panoramic terrace.

A key feature is the expanded wellness area, which includes an indoor pool (7x15 metres, 31C), a jacuzzi (up to 37C), Finnish, infrared and aroma saunas, a hammam, steam bath, salt room and solarium. Two outdoor pools are available during the summer.
