Lošinj Hotels & Villas Celebrates Win at Global Spa Awards 2026

Lošinj Hotels & Villas proudly announces that Boutique Hotel Alhambra has been awarded Best Spa Hotel - Croatia, while Hotel Bellevue received a Highly Commended distinction in the same category at this year’s The Global Spa Awards 2026 by The Luxury Spa Edit™.

The Global Spa Awards are considered among the most authentic recognitions in the luxury spa and wellness industry. Nominees are selected by a panel of leading experts in wellness and travel, while winners are determined by public vote. The 2026 Expert Panel included some of the industry’s most respected voices, including Gerri Gallagher (Tatler Spa Guide and Tatler Beauty & Cosmetic Surgery Guide), Sue Harmsworth MBE (Founder of ESPA and SATCC and Board Member of the Global Wellness Institute), Juliet Kinsman (Sustainability Editor at Condé Nast Traveller), Kent Richards (Founder of Wellness World Global), and Tracey Woodward (CEO and Non-Executive Director of global spa and beauty brands).

Nestled in the serene surroundings of Čikat Bay, Boutique Hotel Alhambra is an elegant retreat that combines Art Nouveau and Neoclassical architecture. Its Cube Spa, a 660-square-metre sanctuary dedicated to regeneration, draws inspiration from Lošinj’s rich legacy as a health resort dating back to the 19th century. Treatments incorporate local herbs and Aleppo pine essential oils, creating an authentic wellness experience deeply connected to the island’s nature. A special highlight is the Kurhaus Inhalation Bar, inspired by the historic inhalation rituals established in 1892, when aristocrats visited Lošinj to inhale a gentle mist of seawater and medicinal aerosols. This ritual of “breathing health” has been reinterpreted for modern guests, offering a unique sensory experience that celebrates the island’s wellness heritage. Cube Spa features a heated indoor seawater pool, three treatment rooms and a spa suite with a Rasul chamber, as well as dedicated spaces for manicure, pedicure and wet-area therapies. Guests can relax in a Finnish sauna or Mediterranean bath before continuing through the Water Paradise, which includes four sensory showers, tepidarium-style heated benches and an ice fountain. A fully equipped gym completes the offer, ensuring a holistic wellbeing experience aligned with Lošinj’s restorative climate.

Just steps away, Hotel Bellevue continues the island’s healing tradition through the renowned Bellevue Spa Clinic, an award-winning lifestyle spa built around the purifying power of the Adriatic Sea. The Spa Clinic features indoor and outdoor seawater pools, a private spa garden and a tranquil relaxation zone surrounded by pine forest. Guests can choose from signature spa experiences and personalised wellness programmes developed in collaboration with physicians, nutritionists and kinesiologists, supported by premium spa brands and advanced technologies. This comprehensive wellness concept combines scientific expertise with the natural detoxifying effects of Lošinj’s sea air, offering transformational results in a contemporary and elegant setting.

These two recognitions once again highlight Lošinj’s enduring role as the Island of Vitality, a destination where natural benefits, medical expertise and exceptional service come together.
