4- and 5-star hotels in Punat
A shortlist of the 4- and 5-star hotels and apartments in Punat, on the Croatian island of Krk, for travellers weighing up whether to stay by the harbour, near the marina or in the quieter southern village of Stara Baška.
Staying in Punat
Punat is a small town on the island of Krk, with around 1,800 residents and a summer population that swells with visitors drawn to the Adriatic. Its waterfront has a promenade with moorings for small boats, and a short walk from the centre is the islet of Košljun, home to a Franciscan monastery with a church, a museum and a library, reached by a brief boat ride. Swimming, cycling and walking are the main pastimes, with trails along the coast and into the island's interior. Krk is connected to the mainland by a bridge, so Punat is reached by road without a ferry, and the nearest airport is Rijeka Airport on Krk near Omišalj. The hotels on this list sit in different parts of the area. Hotel Kanajt and Holiday Homes Kanajt occupy a shared address at Kanajt, roughly 2 kilometres out, with fitness, pool and beach facilities. The mix suits couples and families who want a pool or the sea within reach, and short-break visitors who prefer to leave the car parked and walk into town.
