A Perfect Oasis to Relax Body and Mind
Mimicking the very shape of the waves that gently caress the nearby shores, Iadera proudly carries the name of the architectural wonder. With its sleek curves and undulating lines, it seems to have been carved by the ocean itself. Adorned with glass that sparkles like diamonds in the sun, this breathtaking masterpiece seamlessly blends into its natural surroundings as if it were always meant to be there. A true marvel of design, it blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor space, inviting guests to experience the beauty of nature in all its glory.
The Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Iadera is more than just a hotel; it is a sanctuary for the senses. Each aspect of the space has been thoughtfully designed to evoke feelings of complete relaxation and indulgence. World-renowned architects Boris Podrecca and Matteo Thun imbued the 210 rooms and suites with a sense of sophistication and opulence, using soothing shades of blue to achieve a distinct Mediterranean style. However, it's the breathtaking view that will captivate you from the moment you arrive. Regardless of which room or suite you choose, you'll be treated to a feast for the eyes, from the lush gardens to the majestic Velebit mountain and the Adriatic sea and island of Kornati. But this five-star gem has an ace up its sleeve. If you want your own private oasis, you can rent one of the breathtaking luxury villas. Unlike the hotel's rooms and suits, the interior of the villas is neutral. Definitely an Instagram feed dream! Best of all, each villa has its own private pool.
