Moeesy is a modern classic: a luxury boutique hotel with a focus on the good life, and a subtle update of the grand hotel style of a bygone era.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

The rooms
Guest rooms were completely rebuilt in 2022 into simple, modern spaces spread across three floors.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Two heated outdoor pools sit on stone terraces facing the sea, kept between 28 and 31 degrees.
The sauna and gym
A dry Finnish sauna connects to two cold shock showers, and the fitness studio holds Technogym equipment.
At the table
Dining tables sit on stone terraces overlooking the Adriatic, where the restaurant serves local seafood and Dalmatian wines.
How it began
Long known as Hotel Croatia, the estate expanded in 1954 during the island's postwar development before a comprehensive 2022 overhaul.
