Location:
Known as Croatia’s ‘Island of Vitality’, Lošinj is famous for its lush greenery, beautiful beaches, fresh air and laidback atmosphere, as well as plenty of picturesque hiking and biking trails along the turquoise coast. Villa Hygeia is situated along Čikat Bay in Mali Lošinj, the island’s largest town, which boasts an idyllic harbour setting, a backdrop of rolling green hills and a distinctively Mediterranean feel. With a charming historic centre and spectacular natural beauty, Mali Lošinj offers visitors a dreamlike holiday setting and a fantastic base from which to explore the wonders of the Cres-Lošinj archipelago.
A scenic ride along the pristine waters of Čikat Bay is a great way to spend a sunny afternoon exploring, with a bicycle rental service available to guests at Villa Hygeia. For those who enjoy exploring on foot, a paved pathway connects Mali Lošinj to the smaller town of Veli Lošinj, with aromatic pine trees providing plenty of shady spots as you soak up the ocean vistas along the way. Čikat Forest Park is the ideal place for a morning hike in nature, with a variety of marked trails leading through the peaceful woodlands to the coast, where you can finish your hike with a leisurely picnic or a rejuvenating ocean swim.
With the exclusive Alhambra sundeck nearby, you will have every opportunity to enjoy the Adriatic Sea’s warm, crystalline waters. For those who wish to venture further afield, a visit to the Historical Underwater Park, located within the Top Dive Diving Centre in Čikat Bay, is not to be missed. Here, underwater explorers can make their way down to faithful replicas of historic cannons, ancient statues and centuries-old anchors, with experienced divers offering guided visits to those who do not hold a diving license.
The picturesque streets of Mali Lošinj are perfect for wandering on lazy afternoons. Enjoy a morning espresso at a local café on the waterfront before visiting the fascinating Museum of Lošinj, located within the iconic Fritzi Palace. The Museum of Apoxyomenos, located in the imposing Kvarner Palace, is home to a beautiful bronze statue that was discovered by a diver on the seabed near Mali Lošinj, at a depth of 45m, after spending many centuries beneath the waves.
Lošinj offers visitors plenty of opportunities to experience its rich gastronomy, with excellent seafood restaurants and local taverns in Mali Lošinj serving the island’s delicious delicacies. The team at Villa Hygeia can also arrange private dining experiences with a personal chef. For guests who wish to indulge in some additional pampering, a visit to the spa at the Boutique Hotel Alhambra is easily arranged, or a relaxing treatment with an experienced masseuse can be enjoyed from the comfort and privacy of the villa.
Villa Hygeia Losinj is a fully serviced accommodation, and guests benefit from a personal butler (International Butler Academy certified), a round trip private car transfer from Lošinj Airport to the Villa, daily breakfast, daily housekeeping and turn down service and a complimentary refreshment bar with non-alcoholic beverages and snacks (replenished daily).
