Hotel Bellevue is perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful haven away from the busy streets of the Old Town, but it’s still only a short walk or bus ride to the Pile Gate. The hotel has a boutique feel with just 91 rooms and suites, decorated in a bright, minimalist style that accentuates the magnificent sea views.
All accommodation includes air-conditioning, flatscreen TV, complimentary WiFi, and all categories except for Classic Rooms open onto a private balcony. Vapor is an à la carte fine dining restaurant with a lovely terrace overlooking the Adriatic, while Nevera is within an atmospheric cave at beach level, and offers local fish dishes and an excellent selection of Croatian wines. The Spice Lounge is the main hotel bar, and there’s also a Wine Bar. The pebble beach is accessed by a lift that whisks you to the base of the cliffs. The Spa Centre has sea views and features an indoor heated freshwater pool, Jacuzzi, steam bath and sauna.
Enchanting and totally unspoilt, covered in coconut palms and encircled by tempting shallow lagoons, Denis Private Island is in a league of its own when it comes to a romantic castaway location. It also has a charm and appeal for kids big and small, with complimentary bicycles for exploring, over 100 giant tortoises and a farm providing fresh produce for the island.
