Opened Veladrion Resort – the latest Croatian five-star resort

The investment in the renovation of Veladrion Resort is worth as much as 7 million euros, and with its opening on April 27, 2023, the domestic offering of exclusive resorts has gained a new flagship with 5 stars.

– The reactions of the first guests are excellent, and that is what matters most to us. Reservations are coming from all over the world, and besides traditional markets like Slovenia, Austria, and Croatia, we were pleasantly surprised by reservations from distant destinations like the USA and Canada – say from Veladrion.

Veladrion Resort is located in the bay of Žrnovnica between the Velebit Channel and the Kvarner Islands. From the beautiful hills of the Resort, the river Mala Gacka emerges, flowing into the Adriatic Sea in the bay.

Veladrion Resort consists of 3 luxuriously decorated and equipped Villas, Spa & Wellness center, outdoor and indoor gyms, a private beach, and the Almaris restaurant. In the three private Villas, there are a total of 13 apartments and 5 rooms, and there is also a unique Tree House. With an accommodation capacity of about 40 people, the Resort is intended only for those over 16 years old, guests seeking privacy, first-class hospitality, and a wide range of additional sea activities. Each Villa boasts rooms with spacious living areas that seamlessly transition to private terraces, offering stunning views of the Adriatic Sea or the crystal-clear river Mala Gacka.

For those seeking an escape from the hectic lifestyle, Veladrion Resort is a perfect refuge, as guests have access to Wellness and Spa rituals inspired by the lush nature and enriched with indigenous Mediterranean herbs. Guests can also enjoy the benefits of the indoor and outdoor infinity pools or relax on the beach in close proximity to the Resort. For adventure seekers, there is a plethora of outdoor activities, from tennis and basketball courts, outdoor and indoor gyms, hiking and cycling in the Velebit Nature Park, to rafting and kayaking. The highest point of Veladrion is a private viewpoint that offers an indescribable view of the Kvarner archipelago, making it a perfect backdrop for magical and romantic sunsets.

The offer of vessels is a significant feature of Veladrion Resort. Marina Žrnovnica is located in a deep bay and has been a safe place for boats since time immemorial, and now boasts a fleet of private boats, one of which is an authentic wooden boat 24 meters long. Guests can explore nearby islands and hidden coves for an unforgettable Mediterranean experience.

The Almaris restaurant is led by renowned chef Filip Akrap, offering a menu based on seasonal organic ingredients and local traditions from the mountains and the sea. In Almaris, all gourmets in search of traditional fish and meat dishes presented in a modern and fresh way will find a symphony of flavors.

For a top-notch Veladrion Resort experience, more than 30 staff members are dedicated to providing the highest level of service, privacy, and sensory experiences, ensuring that their guests’ stay is nothing less than perfection.

The newly renovated Veladrion Resort opened exactly 4 years after the opening of Ikador Boutique Hotel & Spa on the Opatija Riviera, which still ranks as the most luxurious hotel in Croatia. The hotel is owned by Zubak Group, one of the longest-standing Croatian companies, which celebrates 45 years of existence this year and has continuously ranked among the top 5 Croatian employers in the last 5 years.
