5* Croatia boutique with a private beach

• Croatian coastal gem: Luxury Hotel Amabilis is a five-star stay that will have you captivated from the moment you step into its sleek, monochromatic interiors. Channelling the style of a luxury yacht, the hotel’s gorgeous lounge makes the perfect spot to sit and enjoy a drink as you admire the views across the Kvarner Gulf towards Krk, or you could head down to the small beach to soak up the sea vistas and sunshine from the hotel’s private shores.

• Sunset dining: Start your morning with delicious breakfast favourites and fresh-pressed juices, and stay refreshed all day with ice creams, cocktails and light bites from the bar. Later on, head to the sea-view restaurant to enjoy sumptuous Mediterranean cuisine and local specialties accompanied by a vast selection of Croatian and international wines; sip the perfect pairing as the sun sinks beneath the waves.

• Spa moments: Take time to unwind in the hotel’s spa; wander in a blissful haze between the aromatic steam sauna, Finnish sauna and Turkish bath. Follow up with a few leisurely laps in the indoor pool, or kick back in the Relax Zone and enjoy the soothing music and beautiful views. For added indulgence, there’s a menu of pampering massages and treatments available.
