Boutique Hotel Alhambra & The Historic Villas

Boutique hotel and historic villas in Čikat Bay, Mali Lošinj

Boutique Hotel Alhambra & The Historic Villas is part of the Lošinj Hotels & Villas portfolio and operates on the island of Lošinj in Croatia. Its offering combines rooms and suites with a collection of restored historic villas, set in a centuries-old pine forest in Čikat Bay, within walking distance of the town centre of Mali Lošinj. The company presents itself as a member of Virtuoso and Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

A history dating back to 1908 and Belle Époque architecture

The property began operating in 1908 and is described as a hospitality landmark with more than a century of continuous service. Its accommodation is arranged around restored historic houses that display Art Nouveau and Neoclassical architecture, with an aesthetic linked to Belle Époque values. The company traces its origins to the island's context as a health destination: in the late 19th century, physicians from Vienna recognised Lošinj's potential as a health resort, which attracted the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy and led to the construction of villas that still line the coast, especially in Čikat.

Accommodation: rooms, suites and historic villas

The accommodation offering is divided between the boutique hotel and the historic villas. The site presents both categories as spaces where bygone eras and contemporary design coexist, with the stated aim of offering comfort, relaxation and refined elegance. Each property in the collection is described as having its own character within the overall experience on the island.

Dining and wellness

The Alfred Keller restaurant features as the complex's dining venue, with a dinner offering distinguished with a Michelin star according to the information on the site. The wellness offering includes Cube Spa, which appears in connection with spa treatments. The experiences programme also includes a selection of activities ranging from sunrise meditation and morning yoga sessions to forest bathing, cycling tours, sunbathing on a private jetty, afternoon tea, stargazing on the beach and dinners at the Alfred Keller restaurant.

Surroundings: Čikat, Mali Lošinj and the Adriatic

The complex is located in Čikat Bay, on the island of Lošinj, within Croatia's Adriatic region. The company describes its position as a meeting point between Istria and Dalmatia, and also between Italy and Croatia: the islands of Lošinj and Cres are presented as equidistant from the Croatian and Italian coastlines, on a route connecting Venice and Dubrovnik. The site also mentions the proximity of a private airport and addresses its offering to travellers seeking privacy and seclusion.

Lošinj's cultural identity

The company's narrative links the island to the history of sailors and shipowners who navigated Kvarner Bay, the Adriatic and more distant waters, with influence in the Mediterranean and northern Europe. That heritage, together with the traces of the Republic of Venice and the Austrian Empire, is presented as part of the character of the destination and the setting of the villas.
