Hotel Antica

Set right by the sea in Stari Grad, Hotel Antica pairs sweeping Adriatic views with refined Dalmatian style. Sunrises and sunsets steal the show here, while the centuries old charm of Stari Grad sits just a 6 minute taxi-ride or a 25 minute walk away.

Days here revolve around the pool, and for good reason. It's the perfect place to soak up the sun, sip cocktails, and take a dip. For even more relaxation, head to the spa and wellness centre for massages, facials, a sauna, and an indoor jacuzzi, plus thoughtful touches such as occasional night swims under the stars. This hotel is geared towards adults, although guests from 12 up are welcome.

The nearby Stari Grad Plain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is ideal for walking or cycling through vineyards and olive groves. Historical highlights including Tvrdalj Palace and the Dominican Monastery can be reached in a short stroll.

Dining is centred around the main restaurant, where Mediterranean dishes are reimagined using fresh island ingredients and local recipes. Expect an à la carte experience with a strong Dalmatian influence. Breakfast is served on the Orangerie terrace by the sea, where throughout the day you can enjoy light bites, cocktails, and sunset views just steps from the water.
