Set amidst a fragrant pine forest overlooking the Adriatic, The Isolano, Cres, Autograph Collection opens its doors in March 2025 – marking Autograph Collection Hotels’ debut in Croatia. This intimate 49-room boutique retreat, designed for guests 12 years and older, blends unspoiled coastal beauty with refined luxury, offering a tranquil escape far from the bustle of modern life.

Envisioned by renowned interior designer Kristina Zanic, the hotel’s architecture reflects the rugged charm of Cres Island, incorporating locally sourced Brač stone, warm textures, and a color palette of sand, navy, and cognac to mirror the Adriatic’s serenity. Each guestroom and suite boasts a private balcony with sweeping sea views, handcrafted wooden benches, and state-of-the-art smart technology. For ultimate indulgence, five Infinity Rooms provide direct access to a heated pool, while the Moise Restaurant celebrates the island’s culinary heritage with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Under the direction of Michelin-trained chef Aleksandar Kerekes, the gastronomic experience is a tribute to Adriatic flavors, pairing locally sourced seafood with fine Croatian wines. A welcome drink infused with wild sage sets the tone, while the lobby bar’s mixology workshops invite guests to craft their own bespoke cocktails using Cres’ native botanicals.

Beyond its two heated pools and private beach access, The Isolano offers a world-class spa and wellness sanctuary, where treatments harness the healing properties of wild honey, olive oil, and local herbs.

The cutting-edge NOHrD fitness center caters to active travelers, while those seeking true relaxation can unwind with sensory rituals blending aromatherapy, music, and natural elements.
