Step away from noise, crowds and routine with a serene two-day escape for two at Etno Luks – a family-run boutique and wellness retreat nestled in nature in Macedonia. This experience is created for couples and travelers who value silence, authenticity, slow living and genuinely good food.

Etno Luks is owned and lovingly run by the Trajkovski family – Angela, Toni and Bube – who personally welcome every guest and transform each stay into a warm, unhurried and deeply personal experience.

Mornings begin slowly, meals are enjoyed without rush, and time feels intentionally generous. It is the perfect choice for couples seeking meaningful moments together, serenity and a sense of place.
