Hotel Lone by Maistra Collection

Hotel Lone lies south of the old town, at the entrance to Zlatni Rt forest park and beside Lone Bay. Designed by Croatian studio 3LHD, the contemporary building contains 248 rooms and suites overlooking the sea or the centuries-old forest; the beach is about 50 metres away and the centre 1.5 kilometres away, according to Maistra. The scale of the stay changes here: fewer lanes and harbour views, more gardens, coastline and services gathered under one roof.

The hotel organises the stay around indoor and outdoor pools, a spa, gym, meeting spaces, restaurants and bars. Its room range includes family categories and suites; the hotel also lists cycling and tennis activities. There is free outdoor parking, a garage and electric-vehicle charging at an additional cost. The regional tourism directory classifies it as a five-star hotel, which is separate from the guest-review score.

Recent traveller comments often highlight the architecture, spacious rooms, cleanliness, breakfast, staff and coastal walk into town. Critical comments mention that pool or breakfast areas can become crowded in high season, that some services carry extra charges and that prices feel high.

From Lone, a paved path follows the bay towards the centre for roughly 1.5 kilometres; in the other direction it enters the forest, with rocky coves and beaches. The route makes it possible to combine swimming, a walk and dinner in the old town, though plan the return if travelling with children or walking at night. This is the choice for a resort stay and nature; Adriatic wins on immediate location, intimate scale and harbour access.
