Another luxury hotel was opened in June on the central Dalmatian island of Hvar, known as one of the sunniest Croatian islands, with an offer based on a rich spa offer.

The Adriana Hvar marina hotel & spa, as the hotel’s full name reads, is situated on the very Hvar waterfront and offers a view of the best known Hvar localities – the Cathedral of St. Stephen, the Arsenal, the main square and Hvar harbour. This is actually a newly-renovated facility operating within the Suncani Hvar hotel company, and which offers its guests accommodation in 50 deluxe rooms, nine classic suites and several spa-specific suites.

The hotel has received a high four-star rating, and along with the classic amenities it also offers a range of attractive additional facilities like a covered heated pool with seawater in which guests will be able to swim yearround. A restaurant has been opened on the hotel terrace, a classic bar and an attractive The Top sky garden bar whose luxurious design and unique setting will certainly become another favourite gathering place for the people of Hvar and their guests.

But the most attractive part of the offer is the new Sensori spa centre that offers numerous therapeutic and beauty treatments, massages and many spa programs like yoga and relaxing excursions into the outdoors. The centre stretches over three storeys with about 1,400 square metres housing all of the indoor and outdoor amenities.

The hotel offer is therefore for the large part based on the concept of wellness and spa, and that this is really a top level of quality is attested to by the fact that the Adriana, Hvar marina hotel & spa recently became a full member of the prestigious global group – The Leading Small Hotels of the World.

The Villa Elite which operates as part of the Dubrovnik hotel complex “Importanne Resort” is so far the most expensive tourist facility in Dubrovnik, whose price reaches twelve thousand Euros a night. To date the title of the most expensive accommodation was held by the Villa Šeherezada at half the price and owned by the Lukšic Group.

The villa is located in the beautiful surroundings of the Lapad peninsula and was built in 1931 from the same stone from which the villas of the Dubrovnik aristocracy were built in the XIII and XV centuries. It has two suites and four rooms and can accommodate only 12 guests, and as part of the villa there is a dinning room, a la carte restaurant, garden with beautiful fountain and marble terrace offering a spectacular view of the sea, an indoor pool, sauna, wine collection and of course a beach in front of the villa. Aside from the superbly decorated interior, refined with art works of great Croatian artists and professional staff who are solely at the disposal of the guests of the villa, they will also have at their disposal an expensive fleet of vehicles with a Jaguar, Bentley and BMW, and a speed boat for sailing needs. Although the Villa Elite has only recently been opened and will be available to guests as of next year, from the hotel complex “Importanne Resort” we are told that there is already great interest on the market.

Aside from the Villa Elite the hotels Neptun, Ariston and Importanne Suites also operate as part of the Importanne Resorts and all are five star facilities.
