Like a pearl as it is called, Opatija is nested on the shores of the Bay of Kvarner, underneath the towering Učka Mountain.

Long ago, the pleasant climate and lush vegetation made this town a globally popular health spa and then a favorite winter destination. It is only logical that the first Croatian seaside hotel was built here. The mild climate allows sitting on the town’s terraces or taking long walks even in winter while the summers are sunny and warm, making Opatija a desirable destination throughout the year.

Dotted with luxury hotels, Austro-Hungarian villas, fancy shops, top-quality restaurants and colorful cafes, Opatija is a unique blend of the old Mediterranean and modern tourist hub. It will definitely not leave you indifferent.
