Monday 8 August 2022 09:13 AM Boris and Carrie Johnson spend mini-moon at £540-a-night Slovenian eco resort trends now
Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie spent their post-wedding party 'mini-moon' at an eco-hotel in the remote mountains of Slovenia which promises a soothing 'balance of energies' and where guests dine on bear prosciutto.
Vila Planinka is situated in a valley near the village of Jezersko in the Kokra Valley some 30 minutes from Ljubljana, and offers vegan toiletries and tap water with the 'highest magnesium content in Slovenia' - said to be good for the heart.
The five-star boutique hotel, where rooms cost from £242 to £542 a night, emphasises its 'wellness' offering and says visitors will 'slow down, harmonising your rhythm with your inner balance' thanks to 'four energy points' that were discovered 'centuries ago' in its backyard'.
None of the 23 rooms have wiring in the walls and Wi-Fi is available only in the lobby, while it is only set up in the rooms if you ask for it.

The Johnsons enjoyed a belated wedding party last month after their own ceremony was disrupted by Covid
Following the Johnsons departure on Saturday evening, hotel owner Katja Batajelj and her daughter Lana told the Telegraph: 'He was one of the most pleasant guests we have had and asked for nothing.
'He was enthusiastic about the food and drink. If all guests were like him we'd be very lucky.
Ms Batajelj described the couple as 'very active' and said they went hiking, swam in the local lake and visited the Postojna caves - a series of enormous natural caverns with a fairytale medieval castle at the entrance.
They were not accompanied by their children, Wilf, two, or Romy, seven months.

The villa's restaurant draws on the local wildlife for its produce, with 'bear cheeks' and 'bear prosciutto' both listed on the tasting menu, which consists of as many as seven courses costing €78 (£66).
The hotel is largely made from wood, inside and out, and features breathtaking views of the valley and the nearby mountains
