It covers the areas of three municipalities of the Republic of Serbia: Čajetina and a part of the municipality of Užice (Kremanska oblast) northern Zlatibor and a smaller part of the municipality of Nove Varoš (Murtenica oblast) southern Zlatibor.

Zlatibor has always had great border significance. On the Cigli hill near Jablanica, the border of Serbia with two empires — the Austro-Hungarian and the Turkish — can still be seen today. The first written traces of the name of the mountain, and this region, date back to the time of the first Serbian uprising. It is believed that the mountain was named after a very rare type of white pine, the so-called golden pine, which is under state protection.

Zlatibor is located halfway between Belgrade and the Montenegrin and Dubrovnik coasts. Many important highways and railways cross it, including the Belgrade-Bar railway. The nearest major city is Užice.
