Adults-Only Hotels in Kvarner

Adults-Only Hotels in the Kvarner Gulf — Croatia's Imperial Riviera

The Kvarner Gulf was the Riviera of the Habsburg Monarchy as far back as the 19th century: Emperor Franz Joseph, Empress Sisi and the European aristocracy took the waters in Opatija and on the islands just offshore. Today the region blends this imperial heritage with the Croatian Adriatic coast — a combination that holds particular appeal for adults from the German-speaking countries.

In the Kvarner Gulf, Adults Oasis curates hotels that unite history and modernity: wellness hotels in Art Nouveau villas, boutique hotels on the island of Lošinj and beach resorts overlooking the mountains.

Kvarner for Adults

Opatija is the "Nice of the Adriatic": grand villas, the Lungomare promenade, coffee houses serving sea cake and a wellness tradition spanning 150 years.

The island of Lošinj is the island of health: over 1,100 plant species, dolphin watching and a microclimate that the physicians of the Monarchy already recommended.

The island of Krk — reachable by bridge — offers vineyards (Žlahtina), beaches and the charming little town of Vrbnik perched on a rocky ledge.

Kvarner Tips

• Best time to visit: May–September. Opatija is mild and beautiful in spring and autumn too.
• Getting there: Just 2 hours from Ljubljana, 4 hours from Munich — perfect for a short break from the German-speaking countries.
• Cuisine: Scampi from the Kvarner Gulf (world-famous!), Žlahtina wine from Krk, lamb from Cres.
• Combination: Kvarner → Istria or → Dalmatia — the coastal road is an experience in itself.
