Palazzo Rainis Hotel & Spa

Take a step back to a simpler time at Palazzo Rainis Hotel & Spa. Overlooking the translucent waters of the Adriatic Sea, this beachside escape takes the very best of Croatia’s past and present, and lays it at your feet. Far-reaching sea views. A luxurious spa. The picturesque, red-roofed town of Novigrad. Oh, and nearby Rainis beach – where you can relax, bathe and watch the sun go down, cocktail in hand.

As its name suggests, Palazzo Rainis has been reconstructed in the image of a beautiful Italian villa, with delicate wrought-iron balconies and an outdoor swimming pool, designed to help you make the most of the peaceful surroundings. The hotel’s elegant rooms – including the palatial Bel Etage suite – feature parquet floors and sophisticated, handpicked furnishings.  While the chic ‘Chemistry’ restaurant and snug ‘Potions’ bar take inspiration from the villa’s original 19th-century owner, a pharmacist from Venice.

When you’re in the mood to explore, the charms of the Istrian Peninsula await. Wander down Novigrad’s centuries-old streets or soak up the lively atmosphere of the harbour, where fishermen gather with the catch of the day. Make a day trip to historic Poreč, home to the famous Euphrasian Basilica and its Byzantine mosaics – you can charge your electric car back at the hotel. This corner of Croatia is also a food lover’s paradise: just ask the friendly staff about wine tasting and truffle tours.
