This supersized hotel clings to a wooded hill, almost hidden from sight. The rooms are tastefully decorated and
well furnished, and it has its own private bathing ledges off the rocks into the open sea. It does not have as many
facilities as visitors might expect, but it does feel quite exclusive. http://www.hoteli-croatia.hr

The best hotel in town, delightfully located on the promontory looking out to sea over the harbour. It can be
susceptible to noise, so it is best to take the front rooms with harbour views. Keen swimmers can take advantage
of the free boat service to St Nicholas Island. http://www.riviera.hr
