An apartment with a jacuzzi sounds like a luxury reserved for expensive hotels — yet in Belgrade it's increasingly offered by private apartments, at a nightly price more affordable than you'd think. The catch is that "jacuzzi" in a listing can mean very different things.

As hosts of an apartment with a private jacuzzi and sauna, here's what you should really expect, how to spot a genuine offer, and who this kind of stay suits most.

In short: An "apartment with a jacuzzi" in Belgrade usually means a private hydromassage tub just for you, inside the accommodation. Before booking, check three things: whether the jacuzzi is truly private (not shared), how the water hygiene is maintained, and what else is included (sauna, terrace, parking). For couples and a wellness escape, a private jacuzzi + sauna is the combination that makes the difference.

What "apartment with a jacuzzi" means

"Jacuzzi" (in Serbian đakuzi or džakuzi) is a hydromassage tub with jets. ("Jacuzzi" is actually a brand that became a generic name.) In the context of an apartment, one distinction matters more: private or shared jacuzzi.

  • Private jacuzzi — located inside your apartment or on your terrace, used only by you during your stay. This is what most guests are after.
  • Shared / communal — a jacuzzi within the building or a spa centre used by all guests. Cheaper, but with no privacy and limited opening hours.

If privacy is the reason you're looking for a jacuzzi at all, this distinction is decisive — and listings often deliberately blur it.

What to check when choosing a jacuzzi apartment

  • Privacy: ask explicitly — "is the jacuzzi ours only, and inside the apartment itself?" Photos can mislead.
  • Hygiene and maintenance: the jacuzzi water must be changed and treated between guests. A serious host will tell you how they handle it.
  • Sauna with the jacuzzi: the combination of a private jacuzzi and a sauna (usually infrared) turns an ordinary stay into a small private wellness — look for exactly that pairing.
  • Location and parking: quiet and private parking complete the wellness experience; a noisy centre does the opposite.
  • Total price: compare the price for the whole stay, not per night, and check whether jacuzzi use is included or charged extra.

Who it suits

  • Couples — a romantic weekend, an anniversary or a surprise; a private jacuzzi for two is a classic for a reason.
  • A wellness escape — a jacuzzi + sauna mean relaxing without going to a spa and without sharing the space with strangers.
  • Guests who value privacy — the whole experience is yours, with no schedule and no crowds.

Frequently asked questions

What does an apartment with a jacuzzi mean?

An apartment that includes a hydromassage tub (jacuzzi; đakuzi/džakuzi in Serbian). The most valuable version is a private jacuzzi — just for you, inside the apartment — as opposed to a shared jacuzzi in the building or a spa centre.

Is the jacuzzi in the apartment private?

It depends on the offer, so ask explicitly. At our BORDO 1, the jacuzzi and sauna are exclusively yours for the whole stay, with no sharing with other guests.

How much does an apartment with a jacuzzi in Belgrade cost?

Less than expected — often at the level of a better apartment, and well below a spa hotel, because you pay for accommodation and get the wellness privately. Always compare the total price for the whole stay.

Jacuzzi or sauna — which is better?

You don't have to choose. The best experience comes from the combination: a jacuzzi to relax the muscles and a sauna (infrared) for the warmth — exactly what BORDO 1 offers in one apartment.
