Kvarner
A historic Habsburg-era riviera at Opatija and the pine-scented islands of Lošinj, quieter than the south.
Why Kvarner
Opatija and Lošinj
Opatija's villas and seaside promenade date from its years as a fashionable resort of the Austro-Hungarian era. Across the Kvarner Gulf, Lošinj is known for its mild climate, pine forests and the colourful harbour of Veli Lošinj.
Kvarner is close to Central Europe by road, works well outside the summer peak, and pairs naturally with Istria.
Best for
- Wellness and slower stays
- Off-season journeys
- Easy reach from Central Europe
- Pairing with Istria
Planning a leadership gathering here? See Opatija and Kvarner as a retreat location.
