Location
About the surrounding area of Villa LoreleiVilla Lorelei is tucked away on the island of Lošinj, along the north coast of Croatia. Nicknamed Dolphin Island, from winter to early spring, you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a Bottlenose dolphin from the villa or whilst enjoying the beautiful coastline.
Villa Lorelei is 3 kilometres from the established harbour town Mali Losinj, a 10 minute bike ride or a 5 minute drive to the largest town on both Lošinj and neighbouring island Cres. Take your time and enjoy the beautiful architecture of Mali Losinj harbour, filled with pastel buildings and historic archways and streets. The oldest building in the town is the 14th-century Church of St Martin. Indulge in delicious local cuisine consisting of seafood and locally sourced ingredients garnished with aromatic herbs. There are plenty of local restaurants and cafes for you to try.
Embark on an island hopping boat trip starting from your private mooring outside the villa. These boat trips will allow you to explore the picturesque coastline, discovering hidden coves and beaches, and if you are lucky enough you may even see dolphins! Take a dip in the water off the boat to cool off, or those wanting to delve even deeper should try snorkelling, seeing the creatures who call this coastline home. The sea is home to many other sports that the whole family will enjoy together, including paddleboarding, kayaking, windsurfing, or sailing. Čikat Bay is renowned for its sandy beach and windsurfing opportunities.
The waterpark on the island is an excellent place for families to enjoy the sunshine. Čikat Aquapark is filled with slides, pools and rapids. Explore the island on foot or use the rental bikes with the villa and set off to discover the hidden paths and roads that twist themselves through the rural landscape. Croatia is filled with hidden coves, terracotta roof towns, historical monuments and fortresses, all waiting to be discovered.
Cres is a neighbouring island that you will need to travel through to get to Lošinj island. One of the most biodiverse islands in the Adriatic Sea, Cres is well worth a day trip or two. The second largest island in the Adriatic Sea, Cres, is renowned for its Venetian history and Griffon vulture colonies. A once struggling colony, Cres is now home to a recovering population of Griffon vultures, supported by conservationists, which you can find more information about at the Beli Visitor Centre located north of the island.

Region
The island of Losinj, located in the azure waters of the Adriatic Sea, beckons travellers seeking an authentic Croatian experience. Often referred to as the “Island of Vitality” due to its warm climate, fragrant pine forests and an abundance of aromatic herbs, Losinj is an ideal destination for sun-seekers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse themselves in nature.
With over 300 days of sunshine a year, there’s ample opportunity to explore Losinj’s picturesque coves and bays that are perfect for swimming and snorkelling. One of the island’s most famous beaches, Cikat Bay, has crystal-clear waters and a beautiful promenade lined with century-old pine trees.
The waters surrounding Losinj are teeming with diverse marine life, making it a destination of choice for nature lovers and divers. The island is known for its efforts in marine conservation and is home to the Blue World Institute, a research and conservation organisation dedicated to the study and protection of marine life in the Adriatic. One of the most famous inhabitants of the waters around Losinj is the bottlenose dolphin, and visitors often have the opportunity to spot these majestic creatures during boat tours.
Losinj has a vibrant cultural scene that reflects its rich history and ties to the sea. The island's maritime heritage is celebrated in the form of festivals, museums, and events. Located in the town of Mali, the Museum of Apoxyomenos is a treasure trove of art and history, housing the bronze statue of Apoxyomenos, a masterpiece of Greek antiquity. This remarkable statue, which was discovered in the waters of Losinj, showcases the island's historical connections with ancient civilisations.
Throughout the summer, the island comes alive with a variety of cultural events, including music festivals, art exhibitions, and traditional folk celebrations. These events provide a glimpse into the island's unique traditions and a chance to mingle with the warm and welcoming locals.
The island of Losinj has been inhabited for thousands of years. Ancient artefacts and ruins bear witness to the presence of Illyrians, Romans, and Byzantines who once called this island home. One of the most prominent periods in Losinj's history is its role as a maritime hub during the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The island's sheltered bays and natural beauty attracted European nobility, including Habsburg monarchy, who frequented Losinj for their summer retreats. The legacy of this era is still visible today in the well-preserved architecture of charming seaside towns like Mali Losinj and Veli Losinj.
Losinj has long been associated with health and wellness, and it's considered a haven for those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. The island's microclimate, enriched with the scent of pine trees and sea salt, has been lauded for its therapeutic properties. Visitors can indulge in the island's wellness offerings, which include spa treatments, yoga retreats, and holistic therapies. Losinj's tranquil environment makes it an ideal destination for those looking to escape the stresses of modern life and embrace a holistic approach to well-being.
The island is accessible by car and ferry, with the ferry ride itself providing a scenic journey across the Adriatic. Losinj also has its own airport with regular flights from major European cities. Once on the island, the compact size makes it easy to navigate. If you're looking to escape to a place where time slows down, and the beauty of the Adriatic unfolds before your eyes, Losinj is just the paradise you've been seeking. Its natural beauty, rich heritage, and commitment to environmental conservation make it a standout destination.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Lorelei is a paradise the whole family will enjoy, the pool area is not fenced, therefore this villa is ideal for kids aged 6+. Nestled on the quiet island of Lošinj, Lorelei is a detached villa offering privacy so you can create those important family memories. The main living area is great for bringing everyone together, with plenty of space and peaceful corners for everyone to relax.
Children will love the private pool to make a splash in. Plus, with the luxury of having a heated pool, you can ensure it is the perfect temperature for them all day. Parents with younger children should be cautious, however, as there are no barriers between the property and the pool, so keep an eye on them if their little feet take them too close to the pool unsupervised. The villa also has a floating staircase, and although these stairs have a barrier, parents should be cautious.
Croatia has plenty to offer families ready to spend quality time together making unique memories. Two bikes are at the villa, ready for you to go off and see the island from your doorstep. Or take to the water and explore the Adriatic Sea on boat and kayaking tours, discovering hidden coves, sandy beaches and making a splash in the sea. For older and more adventurous children, see what’s under the surface and go snorkelling!

A pearl in paradise!
It was just fantastic, great view, pool, small gym and a hot tub to relax in in the evening. We even had a dock for our rented motor boat in front of the villa. Excellent self-catering, everything new with everything that should be available! Thank you Mia and Zoran!
