About the Hotel
Every Room, Every View, Every Moment – Pure Adriatic Magic
Luxury Redefined in Kvarner Bay
The Design Hotel & Restaurant Navis is no ordinary stop-off place that you visit and soon forget about. Its coordinates take you to the most beautiful destination of your travels and tell the story of a place where time stands still, Istria ends and the sea extends deepest into Croatia, and where there is inimitable style, first-class service and fantastic cuisine. This is the story of the Design Hotel Restaurant Navis. However, the best stories are those that you take part in during your stay. These are the stories that make us happiest.
Perched elegantly on the rocky coast of Preluk Bay, with commanding views of the Kvarner archipelago, our luxury boutique hotel offers an intimate escape where sophisticated design meets the raw beauty of the Adriatic coast. Every detail has been crafted to create not just accommodation, but an experience that lingers long after you’ve returned home.
A Legacy Reimagined
Nestled in tranquil Preluk Bay, right on the border between the vibrant city of Rijeka and the elegant town of Opatija, the Hotel Navis offers a unique retreat where untouched nature meets contemporary design. Once renowned for its picturesque wooden tuna fishing huts and dramatic rocky coastline, this area has long been a hidden gem on the Adriatic, celebrated for its deep blue waters and peaceful ambience.
The Hotel Navis stands on a site rich with history and character. In the past, the location was home to a lively disco club and a small fish processing factory, places where generations of locals gathered and created memories. Today, the spirit of those times lives on, reimagined through thoughtful architecture and a vision to revive the urban energy of Rijeka and Opatija, while offering guests an intimate and memorable stay.
The hotel’s striking design is a true testament to harmony with nature. Each of the 50 rooms is thoughtfully oriented towards the sea, ensuring every guest enjoys breathtaking views of Kvarner Bay. The architecture follows the unique contours of the rocky coastline, with every room designed as an individual ‘pixel’ that adapts to the landscape. This careful approach creates a structure that is both distinctive and beautifully integrated into its surroundings.
At the Hotel Navis, hospitality is more than just service: it’s a way of life. The welcoming lobby, refined restaurant and cozy wellness club, with both indoor and outdoor pools, are all designed to foster a sense of belonging. Here, guests are treated not as strangers, but as friends returning home, invited to relax, connect and savour the best of Mediterranean living, no matter the season.
The interiors are a blend of modern elegance and local artistry, featuring custom-designed furniture, handwoven carpets, and bold materials like red and black exposed concrete. Every detail, from the lighting to the layout of each room, has been carefully curated in collaboration with local designers and craftsmen, ensuring that every stay at the Hotel Navis is as unique as its setting.
The Hotel Navis is more than just a place to stay: it’s an experience shaped by the meeting of nature, culture and innovative design. Whether you’re visiting for business or leisure, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere, inspiring views and a story to become a part of. Welcome to a new chapter in Adriatic hospitality.
