Many people have come here as hopeless, in wheelchairs and returned on their own healthy feet! Igalo has for ages been one of the most famous medical centers in our country and in the world. Until the second half of this century it was a sparsely inhabited village. Only in the last five decades it turned into the little town almost connected to Herceg Novi. From here, by boat, you can quickly come to the resorts of Njivice, Zanjic and to the mysterious Blue Cave (Plava Spilja), considered by many the “temple of God of the sea”.

A modern Medical health center was built on the grounds of the Igalo’s mud bath. More then a thousand patients can be treated in this center at once. This center is especially famous for curing the rheumatic diseases.

Traditionally, the most regular ‘users’ of Igalo’s benefits are the Scandinavians, especially the Norwegians. Many famous people came here to be treated for rheumatic and the other diseases - many important persons, princes, kings etc. One of the regular guests was also the president of the former SFRY Josip Broz Tito. In order to serve his needs a special villa “Galeb” was built just beside the Institute. It is now the reception area of the Montenegrin Government intended for receiving important foreign guests.
