About the Resort
A design-and-Michelin Istrian flagship at Rovinj
Grand Park Hotel Rovinj is the design-and-Michelin Istrian flagship — Maistra Collection's Leading Hotels flagship at Rovinj, a Piero Lissoni and 3LHD design cascading through the Golden Cape forest park over the Adriatic and Rovinj's Old Town. It holds Croatia's only two-Michelin-starred restaurant, Agli Amici Rovinj, alongside the one-star Cap Aureo, and the Albaro Wellness & Spa is the largest in Istria at around three thousand eight hundred square metres. Three pools include a fifty-metre sports pool and a rooftop pool, the 209 rooms run a comfortable minimalism of natural materials with private plunge pools in select suites, and an ACI marina, the Lungo Mare Plaza shopping and a private-island-beach shuttle complete it. The setting is the best of Istria: the cobbled Old Town of Rovinj and its St Euphemia campanile rise across the water, the Golden Cape (Zlatni Rt) forest park spreads at the door, and the Roman arena at Pula, the Brijuni islands and the truffle country and vineyards of the interior are all within reach. It is the design, spa and gastronomy flagship of Istria — a distinct region from the Dubrovnik coast and the island of Hvar. Rovinj's cobbled lanes and the Grisia artists' street climb to St Euphemia's church, while the Lim Fjord, the Roman arena at Pula and the hilltop truffle towns of the interior all lie within an easy drive.

Balconies and terraces look over the forest park to the sea and the Old Town, the design quietly disappearing into the pines.

“We’ve stayed here three times now. The house reef has no equal. The stargazing was, genuinely, one of the most moving experiences of my adult life.”

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Grand Park Hotel Rovinj by Maistra Collection. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Maslina Resort
Maslina Resort is the eco-wellness island boutique on Hvar — a Relais & Châteaux retreat of "Mindful Luxury" in olive groves and pine forest at Maslinica Bay, by the 2,400-year-old UNESCO town of Stari Grad. Just 50 rooms and three villas are built in organic, island-sourced materials, suites taking private heated plunge pools and the coastal villas private infinity pools. The Pharomatiq Spa draws a garden-to-skin menu and sound-bowl healing from Hvar's own environment, the gourmet table is organic and garden-to-table, and two pools are shaded by the grove's own relocated olive trees beside a private beach. Stari Grad is a fifteen-minute walk, with snorkelling, paddleboarding and island boat trips at hand. The intimate, sustainable island retreat of the Croatian page. Seasonal, at its best in the warmer months.
Croatia
Hotel More
Hotel More is the intimate boutique with the world-famous cave bar on Lapad — an independent, beachfront boutique of around 40 rooms on Lapad Bay, in Mediterranean pine and cypress. Its signature is the Cave Bar More, a natural limestone cave three levels deep beneath the hotel, lit by 300 lights and named one of the world's best bars, where cocktails meet Lapad Bay sunsets. Fine Dalmatian dining comes at Tramuntana with sea views, a seaside promenade leads to Uvala Lapad Beach a five-minute walk away, and the Old Town is ten minutes by road. Adults-focused and calm, this is the boutique pick of the Dubrovnik four — distinct from the big seafront resorts. Seasonal, with the Cave Bar open from spring to late autumn.
Croatia
Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik
The Hilton Imperial is the historic Old-Town-gate Dubrovnik city hotel — the 1897 Grand Hotel Imperial, the city's first luxury hotel, restored on a hillside just outside the UNESCO walls, a three-minute walk from the Pile Gate. Among the four Dubrovnik hotels here it is the most year-round, and the only one set in the heart of the city itself. Around 147 rooms carry late-19th-century period charm, upper floors looking over the red roofs to the Adriatic, with an Executive Lounge over the city walls and an indoor pool and spa within. The Imperial Terrace dines Dalmatian, and the Pile Gate, the walls and Lovrijenac Fort are at the door. The heritage city base — distinct from the seafront resorts on Lapad and the clifftop Rixos.
