Boutique & Design Hotel Navis
An angular design address near Preluk
About this hotel
Boutique & Design Hotel Navis breaks from Opatija's belle-époque hotel stock with an angular, contemporary building near Preluk, nine minutes' walk from open water and five by taxi from Plaža Tomaševac, giving it a different position and a different look than the period villas clustered closer to Park Angiolina. Sea-view suites carry that same contemporary design language inside, alongside a spa, hot tub and fitness centre that continue the aesthetic rather than reverting to a generic wellness template. The ultrahip dining room draws a crowd beyond overnight guests, and the four-minute taxi ride to Trattoria Mandrać adds a further dining option nearby, based on what is confirmed in the listing itself, for guests who value that kind of detail, compared with similar properties nearby, which is not always guaranteed elsewhere on this coast.
- Contemporary design
- Sea-view suites
- Spa and fitness centre
- Ultrahip dining room
Our take
Boutique & Design Hotel Navis is a five-star design hotel near Preluk, nine minutes' walk from open water and five minutes by taxi from Plaža Tomaševac, with sea-view suites, a spa, a hot tub and a fitness centre. Free parking and breakfast are included, and the ultrahip dining room keeps dinner on site, with Trattoria Mandrać nearby. A 9.4 score from 1,225 reviews backs it. I would choose it for couples who want contemporary style and sea views.
- ✓Book a sea-view suite specifically, the design language is most fully expressed in these higher categories.
- ✓Reserve the ultrahip dining room ahead of time, it draws a local crowd beyond hotel guests in peak season.
- ✓Use a taxi for Plaža Tomaševac rather than assuming a short walk, it is roughly five minutes by car.
Why we love it
- A genuinely distinct angular design
- A dining room with a local following
- Sea-view suites with a contemporary feel
- A spa, hot tub and fitness centre on site
Why guests love itNavis is a five-star design hotel near Preluk where the architecture is the main reason to book. For families, the sea-view suites give more room than a standard double, and the spa, hot tub and fitness centre cover rainy days. Open water is nine minutes on foot, and Plaža Tomaševac five minutes by taxi, so beach days need a little planning. Breakfast and parking are free. I would recommend it to families with older children who appreciate design, rather than to those who want a beach on the doorstep.
