The success of The Isolano, Cres is also thanks to interior designer Kristina Zanic, who drew inspiration from the Adriatic coast. The result is an elegant yet relaxed design that combines high-quality craftsmanship with striking geometric architecture. Local stone from the island of Brač plays a key role, while Zanic opted for a natural color palette. Shades of cognac, white, gray, sand, and navy echo the stunning hues of the Croatian coastline.

Retreats and moments of indulgence

Guests can also enjoy the beauty of the location from each of the rooms and suites. They all have their own balconies with Panoramic views of the sea. Modern features such as smart TVs and a sophisticated lighting concept provide additional comfort. A highlight will be the “Infinity Zimmer”. They surprise with exclusive and direct access to one of the two heated outdoor pools.
