Almayer Art & Heritage Hotel

The Almayer Art & Heritage Hotel is a 4-star Adults-Only hotel in Zadar, an Adriatic old town on the coast of Dalmatia in Croatia. As an adults' hotel, it caters to travellers who value art, architecture and personal service – rather than the anonymous operation of classic holiday hotels. The name comes from Alessandro Baricco's novel "Ocean Sea" and aptly sums up the house's attitude: Almayer is a place for the curious who want to discover more in Zadar than beach and sightseeing.

The boutique hotel combines design architecture with an in-house art gallery and a warm interior that feels more like a lived-in home than a classic hotel. The on-site restaurant provides a good foundation without your having to leave the house's atmosphere. Anyone seeking a child-free experience in Dalmatia that places character above wellness checklists will find in the Almayer one of the most compelling alternatives among the romance hotels for couples on the Adriatic.

This adults' hotel is especially suited to couples and culturally minded solo travellers who take Zadar seriously as a destination in its own right – with its Venetian old town, the famous Sea Organ and the lively Dalmatian cityscape right on the doorstep. Anyone looking for a hotel with a stance of its own that does not get lost in standard formulas makes an honest choice in Zadar with the Almayer.
