Axel's Words
What makes luxury hotels in Croatia so compelling is the combination of natural beauty, history, and a contemporary premium sensibility. You get not only beautiful rooms and exemplary service, but often a quite extraordinary setting, outstanding cuisine, and a more relaxed approach to luxury than you tend to find at many other Mediterranean destinations. For me, it is precisely that balance which makes Croatia so appealing.
Frequently Asked Questions
The most sought-after luxury hotels are found primarily in Dubrovnik, Rovinj, Hvar, Istria, Split, Šibenik, and Zagreb. Each area offers its own distinct premium experience, from historic palazzos to coastal resorts and rural wine hotels.
More often than not, yes — though there are smaller boutique hotels that do not always position themselves as classic resort-style properties, yet clearly belong to the premium tier by virtue of their location, design, and service.
For many, May, June, and September offer the ideal window. The weather is pleasant, the sea inviting, and the pace noticeably calmer than in July and August — with prices that can sometimes be rather more favourable as well.
For the most popular hotels in Dubrovnik, Hvar, and Rovinj, it is advisable to book several months ahead — particularly if you are planning to travel during the summer or wish to secure a suite with a sea view.
Both, in truth. Certain hotels are distinctly romantic in character and lend themselves best to adult travellers, whilst larger resorts tend to offer multiple pools, family-friendly rooms, and a range of activities that make them equally well suited to families with children.
Generally speaking, very good indeed. At the upper end, you will find hotels with restaurants of a high international calibre, working with locally sourced ingredients, impressive wine lists, and a clear sense of regional identity in the kitchen.
By and large, yes. Most luxury hotels in Croatia offer spa facilities, a gym, and pools, and many go further still with more sophisticated wellness concepts incorporating hydrotherapy, yoga, or adults-only areas.
Prices vary considerably depending on the season, location, and room type, but as a rough guide, premium hotels generally start from around £150 per night. During the height of summer, top addresses, suites, and villas can command significantly more.

Selection criterias
Ratings and standards
Our selection is drawn from hotels that clearly belong to Croatia's premium tier — principally five-star properties and well-established boutique addresses with a consistently high standard. In making our choices, we have taken into account international recognition, reliably strong guest reviews, and an overall quality across rooms, service, dining, and location. Hotels featured typically carry guest ratings of around 9.0 or above, and many appear in international travel guides and prestigious industry lists.
Unique advantages
Luxury in Croatia is not simply a matter of star ratings — it is about what a hotel genuinely delivers. We have therefore prioritised properties with tangible added value, such as infinity pools, spa facilities with hydrotherapy, private or semi-private bathing areas, restaurants with a serious gastronomic pedigree, interiors designed by acclaimed architects, terraces with sea views, historic palazzo settings, wine experiences, and private transfer or boat arrangements.
Location and accessibility
Location carries considerable weight in our selection. We have included hotels that are either positioned in prime coastal settings, in direct proximity to culturally and historically significant town centres, or in more secluded surroundings where peace and privacy form an integral part of the luxury experience. A truly outstanding luxury hotel in Croatia should either offer straightforward access to town life, marinas, and attractions, or provide a genuine sense of retreat — with nature, views, and seclusion as its defining appeal.
