4- and 5-star hotels in Mali Losinj
This shortlist brings together the 4- and 5-star hotels of Mali Lošinj, from boutique houses on the harbour to resort hotels above Sunčana Uvala. It is for travellers who want a comfortable base while exploring the island's coves, promenades and old town on foot.
Staying in Mali Losinj
Mali Lošinj is the largest settlement on the island of Lošinj and its administrative and tourist centre. The waterfront is lined with cafes and restaurants, and the old town climbs the hill behind the harbour. Visitors come for the clean sea, the walking and cycling paths, and the chance to explore the island's coves and beaches; the town also has a museum dedicated to the Apoxyomenos statue, a bronze athlete found in the sea near Lošinj. The town has a marina and is a popular stop for sailors, and the village of Veli Lošinj is a short walk or drive away.
The hotels on this list sit in three parts of that area. Several stand right on or near the harbour and old town: Hotel Apoksiomen, Mare Mare Suites and Villa Contessa Top 200 ultra luxury world villas are all within 1 kilometre of the centre. Others sit on the wooded Čikat peninsula west of the centre, where Boutique Hotel Alhambra, Hotel Bellevue and Diana B&B have their addresses. A third group is above Sunčana Uvala, the bay south of town, with Hotel Aurora and Family Hotel Vespera. Couples and short-break visitors tend to favour the harbour houses, while the resort hotels above the bay and in Čikat suit families and longer stays.
