The fact that the majority of visitors to Croatia have overlooked the gem-like island of Losinj only enhances its brilliance. To you, the lack of crowds means you can spend your days lazily walking along the tiny stone-paved streets of the tiny town of Osor, revelling in its 4000 year history and its archaeological collection featuring artefacts from its ancient Roman period. You can visit the Museum of Apoxyomenos in Mali Losinj or Veli Losinj’s Kula Gallery.

And – if you had the foresight to specify Boutique Hotel Alhambra for your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Croatia – you can also laze on the fine sand of a private beach, go cove-hopping in a hired motorboat, or skim across the aquamarine waters of the Adriatic on a sailing cutter.
