Boutique holidays in Losinj
A Croatian island where wellness whispers and history lingers
Cradled by emerald forests and the aquamarine shimmer of the Adriatic, Losinj is one of Croatia’s best-kept secrets, a pine-scented island where Belle Epoque villas meet Michelin-level gastronomy, and the sea feels as silky as it looks. Once a retreat for the Austro-Hungarian elite, today it remains a sanctuary of calm, character, and old-world charm — less discovered, more deeply felt.
Here, life is unhurried. Mornings begin with birdsong and sea breeze, afternoons are made for barefoot swims from bathing platforms into the ocean’s own swimming pool, and evenings drift in over candlelit terraces with the scent of wild herbs on the air. Boutique hotels are tucked among century-old pines, each one a blend of heritage and modern grace, all curated by Discerning Collection for their exceptional service, design and soul.
Explore Mali Losinj’s pastel-fronted harbour and artisan boutiques, or wander Veli Losinj’s sleepy lanes lined with citrus trees and Baroque churches. Cycle the fragrant island trails, snorkel in peacock-blue bays, or indulge in spa rituals drawn from the island’s century-old wellness legacy.
Boutique holidays to Losinj with Discerning Collection are tailored for those who treasure authenticity, space and quiet luxury. Whether you come for the stillness or the sea, the Michelin star or the morning light, Losinj doesn’t just welcome you — it stays with you.
Our accommodation in Losinj
Boutique Hotels that Honour Grace, Gastronomy and the Great Outdoors
Losinj’s boutique hotels are not just places to stay, they’re destinations in themselves. Rooted in the island’s rich Austro-Hungarian legacy and guided by a philosophy of wellness, refinement and personalised care, each hotel offers something far deeper than five-star polish. These are spaces designed to soothe, with sea views that still the mind, service that anticipates every need, and a location that invites slow wandering by foot, bicycle or boat.
Boutique Hotel Alhambra, proudly part of our curated collection, is the island’s grand dame, a lovingly restored Belle Époque villa infused with timeless elegance and quiet soul.Michelin-starred dining, individually styled heritage suites, and direct access to the crystalline waters of Cikat Bay define the experience here. It’s the kind of place where linen rustles, birdsong replaces background music, and the scent of pine lingers in the air.
Just steps away, Hotel Bellevue offers a more contemporary take on wellness and design. Surrounded by forest and sea, this refined retreat blends minimalist elegance with a deep commitment to sustainability. Here, wellness and architecture work in quiet harmony, with every detail, from the magnesium-rich seawater pool to the serene, design-forward interiors curated for calm.
Both hotels sit within strolling distance of Mali Losinj’s colourful harbourfront and a selection of excellent sea-view restaurants, including the island’s best steak and seafood spots all owned by the same passionate team behind the hotels. With complimentary bicycles available for guests, it’s easy to explore the island’s scented trails and postcard villages at your own pace.
What sets Losinj apart is its atmosphere, the island’s famously pure air, protected microclimate, and peaceful rhythm have made it a retreat for over a century. For the discerning traveller seeking authenticity, beauty and space to exhale, this is a place that delivers stillness in all the right ways.
Losinj also lends itself beautifully to a multi-centre Croatian journey, perhaps paired with the Istrian coast, or even a Venetian city break, just across the Adriatic. Whether as a final flourish to your holiday or a restorative retreat in its own right, Losinj offers something quietly extraordinary.
