Luna Island Hotel****

Picture a romantic hideaway nestled among thousand-year-old olive trees perched above a beautiful beach. Situated in the tranquil fishing village of Jakišnica on the northwest coast, the Luna Island Hotel on the Island of Pag is the ideal choice for both a relaxing, romantic holiday and a memorable business and conference event. Spacious rooms overlook the sparkling waters of the Adriatic or scented Mediterranean parkland. Two excellent restaurants provide fine wine and dining on spectacular sea-view terraces while live music adds to the natural soundtrack of chirping crickets and the gentle wash of waves. A full programme of sports and recreation offer invigorating options in the Luna Island Hotel fitness centre or indoor and outdoor swimming pools and watersports and walking paths provide plentiful outdoor activities in the surrounding area. For a little well-deserved ‘me’ time, indulge in sensuous face and body treatments at the Insula Salus wellness and Spa centre where signature treatments incorporate Pag island salt and local lavender aromatherapy. A large congress centre meets all business and conference needs and offers superb facilities for wedding, anniversary and other celebratory events amidst the stunning surroundings of Pag, one of the largest of the Adriatic islands. Although famed for its salt pans, aromatic sheep’s cheese and exquisite lacework, the Island of Pag also offers so much more. Beach-lovers will find the island lined with secluded coves, sandy beaches and pebbled shores. The old town of Pag is rich in cultural treasures, where small baroque balconies embellish noble houses and narrow lanes burst into tree-shaded plazas. During summer, carnivals and festivals colour the streets, and traditional song and dance brings history to life. Further afield on the Island of Pag you’ll find countless secluded bays, Roman artefacts and plenty of peace and quiet on scenic coastal paths and in pretty villages such as Košljun, Dinjiška and Miškovići.
