About Losinj

Losinj is one of the myriad Croatian islands in the North Adriatic just South of the Istrian Peninsula. It is the eleventh largest island in the Adriatic and is home to some 9,600 souls. The island enjoys a warm sunny climate and as you can imagine the best places to stay in Losinj become extremely busy during the peak summer months. But come in the shoulder season and you'll find the perfect spot for some rest and relaxation, all just a short ferry ride from Zadar.

What Not To Miss

  • Historically, Losinj goes back to Greek and Roman times, and you'll find ruins of Roman villas and churches.
  • More recently, during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Losinj prospered through trade and was a shipping and shipbuilding centre - there were seven yards at one point. Now, however, the harbour at Mali (the capital) is home to pleasure crafts and one of the most popular holiday activities is to hire a yacht and explore the many small islands in the vicinity.
  • Mali itself is a town of real character - a mix of Italian and Yugoslav styles. Elsewhere on the island are pretty fishing villages and a pine forested interior.
  • Losinj is possibly most remarkable now as a ‘wellness centre’. In the nineteenth century the scientist Ambroz Harasic declared that the island was the healthiest place in the Austro-Hungarian Empire! The Emperor came to stay and the reputation remains.
  • Or relax on the beach - with striking blue water if you need to taking a refreshing dip.

All of the best places to stay in Losinj are geared towards de-stressing, rejuvenation and relaxation. There are spas and therapy centres galore, and for more active types the island is good for walking, cycling, diving and watersports.
