Vila Bisera - Lagadin

Updated: Jun 18

Vila Bisera - Six nights


It is a beautiful, peaceful resort with magical views over Lake Ohrid in Lagadin, Macedonia.

As soon as you arrive, a short 10-minute drive from Ohrid, you instantly feel like you are on holiday. The views from the rooms and the recently refurbished restaurant and bar by the pool are incredible.

We booked a three-bedroom apartment, which was fully equipped with a very spacious kitchen.

The rooms are designed with a beach loft theme, making for a very comfortable stay. From the main room on the lakeside, you have total views of Lake Ohrid.


We were amazed at the quiet ambience, which ensured your nightly sleeps were uninterrupted.


The team at Villa Bisera is very welcoming and ensures your stay is perfect.


Breakfast is included in your room and served a la carte from the restaurant. There is an excellent selection for everyone. We opted for the healthy option of yoghurt and fresh fruits.

There are two pools, one of which is located by the restaurant. It was perfect for evening drinks and enjoying the magnificent views, and you were blessed each night with the most amazing sunsets.


Villa Bisera is located on a hill, an easy walk down to the lake and nearby restaurants. Dva Bisera is a well-known restaurant only 200m from the villas and worth visiting; we enjoyed three excellent lunches here, and the food was incredible.

Activities include magical lake cruises with B & F Boat Cruises and quad biking in the national park. The Bay of Bones museum and Monastery of St. Naum are also a short drive away.


I recommend Villa Bisera for a luxury getaway with the best views of Lake Ohrid and the surrounding mountains.
