A peaceful hotel with a 30,000 m² park

Surrounded by a 30,000 m² Mediterranean garden park, Kvarner Palace is a haven of peace, fragrance and natural beauty. Palm trees, pine trees, oleanders and historic garden paths form a retreat that combines the elegance of the Belle Époque with living nature – and continues to evolve with every passing season.

A holiday at our garden hotel

Tending the garden retreat

The care of this exceptional park is entrusted to garden architect Katica Dražić, an expert with profound botanical knowledge and a delicate touch. A garden of this scale does not take shape overnight. It takes time, patience and a loving hand. Some trees have been our constant companions for decades, others give way to the passage of time and new plants take root – always in harmony with the climate, the soil and the seasons.

A nature hotel with a large garden in Crikvenica

A particular highlight is the emerging camellia garden – a tribute to the emblematic flower of the Kvarner region. Beneath the shade of the pine trees and palm trees, beds of magnificent camellias are taking shape, requiring acidic, lime-poor soil, semi-shady spots and sheltered positions. With her expertise, Katica is creating a plant ensemble that harmoniously combines history, regionality and natural elegance.

Hand-picked in the large garden

At the same time, a Mediterranean herb garden is taking shape within the park. Head chef Danijel Lubjankić collects fresh herbs such as rosemary, bay leaves and many aromatic Mediterranean plants there every day to use in the dishes created in the Kvarner Palace kitchen and served to you at their very freshest. Guests who would like to delve deeper into the world of herbs can take part in workshops run by Ilonka Benedek – for a naturally enriching holiday experience.

Culinary philosophy

A garden lives,
grows and changes

Something special at the garden hotel, Croatia

The garden responds to wind, heat, drought and the rhythm of the seasons – and therein lies its beauty. Through sustainable care, knowledge and patience, a garden retreat is taking shape, inviting you to stroll, breathe and discover. A place that preserves history yet also grows a little every single day. Our garden retreat remains a living, sustainable space that evolves and transforms.
