Local amenities
Everything is just a short distance away
To make sure you do not feel like “Kevin lost in New York” in Demänovská Valley and around Liptovský Mikuláš, we have prepared a short article guiding you through the local amenities so that you can feel at home here.
Small Coop Jednota • 10 min on foot • 2 min by car
A Coop Jednota shop is within walking distance in the village of Pavčina Lehota – just 950 metres away, or a 12-minute walk. Despite its small size, this shop is very well stocked with groceries and general goods, reflecting its location in a tourist area. You can check its opening hours at the following website:

Large Coop Jednota • 10 min by car
When travelling by car or bus, you can also shop at another Coop Jednota in Demänová, directly beside the main road. Parking is available behind the shop, and a bus stop is only a few metres away, which is particularly convenient for people travelling by bus. Opening hours are available at the following link:

Petrol station • 8 min
None of our guests can miss the OMV petrol station, as it stands right at the beginning of Demänovská Road, the only main route to us. The station is open 24 hours a day and offers a wide range of products. The petrol station complex includes a building with two restaurants, a café, a gift and souvenir shop, a laundry, a games room, and a bicycle shop and hire service.
Liptovský Mikuláš • 12 min
Liptovský Mikuláš may be a smaller town, but the high level of tourism in our area means it has a very broad range of amenities. The following links provide information about medical facilities, a veterinary clinic, larger retail chains and pharmacies, as well as entertainment including a cinema, zoo and water park.
Liptov Hospital and Outpatient Clinic – https://nsplm.sk/
Veterinary clinic – the nearest by car: https://www.veterina-lives.sk/
Retail chains with a pharmacy, drugstore and a variety of other goods (One advantage of the shopping centres and supermarkets in the town centre is that they are all relatively close together, near the motorway exit and entrance and within easy reach of Demänovská Road.)
The RGB Liptov shopping centre includes a pharmacy, post office, Tesco supermarket, drugstore, homeware shop, electronics shop, florist, bakery and various other stores. Just a few metres from the Tesco entrance, across the pedestrian crossing, there is also a McDonald’s with a McDrive.
Kaufland is just a short distance from the shopping centre mentioned above. In addition to the supermarket, you will find a petrol station, pharmacy, florist and newsagent here.

Tatralandia Water Park • 18 minutes
Moving on to entertainment, almost everyone will know it, but we feel it would be remiss not to mention it in our article – Tatralandia Water Park & ZOO Kontakt Family Park are places where both children and adults can have fun. The two attractions are right next to each other. You can also buy discounted admission to the water park from us.
