Banja Koviljaca is a royal Serbian spa town on the banks of the Drina river in the Loznica municipality, where ferruginous, radon-rich, and chloride spring waters of exceptional therapeutic diversity were developed into a fashionable resort by the Serbian royal family in the early 20th century — King Alexander I of Yugoslavia and his court spent summers here. The remarkable combination of ferruginous, radioactive, and chloride spring waters in a single complex makes Banja Koviljaca one of the most medically diverse thermal destinations in the western Balkans, indicated for rheumatic, cardiovascular, and gynecological conditions. The Drina river gorge setting, immortalized in the Nobel Prize-winning novel The Bridge on the Drina by Ivo Andric, and the proximity of Visegrad with its legendary 15th-century bridge, give Banja Koviljaca a cultural and literary resonance exceptional among Serbian spas.

Insider tip — The Drina, between Serbia and Bosnia, is the setting of the famous novel by Nobel laureate Ivo Andrić, The Bridge on the Drina — the royal waters of Banja Koviljača flow a few kilometres from the Višegrad bridge immortalised in that masterpiece.
