Where Nature Meets Impeccable Style
Imagine waking up to the gentle rustling of leaves and the sweet symphony of birdsong. At Hotel Balatura, nature isn't just a backdrop; it's an integral part of your stay. Nestled amidst lush greenery, the hotel boasts an architecture that seamlessly blends with its surroundings. The earthy tones and natural textures of the interiors create a warm and inviting ambiance that instantly puts you at ease.
A Triumph of Heritage and Vision
This wonderful estate, which has stood for three centuries, boasts charming stone houses that have been lovingly transformed into a haven for all who visit. The journey to this point began fourteen years ago when Anne-Kathrin and Gordan Godec, along with their four sons, set out on a mission to create a sanctuary for nature lovers, wellness enthusiasts, and those who appreciate art. Over time, their vision evolved into the heartwarming haven known as Hotel Village Balatura.
At the heart of this four-star oasis, you'll find ten cozy double rooms, each named after a coastal plant that adds to the beauty of the local landscape. From the lively shades of lavender and lemon to the delightful scents of rosemary and thyme, these rooms pay tribute to the natural surroundings. Oh, and the best part? These rooms are like a treasure trove of vintage goodness. Each one's got its own story to tell – it's like the hotel's artistic soul comes alive in every little detail.
But wait, it gets better. Have you ever thought about taking a dip surrounded by ancient stone walls? Well, in the hotel's garden, there's this epic pool that's seriously one for the books. It's like Croatia's hidden gem, where you can soak up history while you soak in water. Talk about a time-traveling splash, right?
Veggie Culinary Wonderland
Ah, the pièce de résistance – the food. The hotel's talented chef Tanja Ratković serves up a delectable range of vegan and gluten-free dishes that are not only a treat for your palate but also a feast for your eyes. All ingredients are sourced from a nearby neighbor who practices sustainable agriculture, and the result is a menu that is as eco-conscious as it is mouthwatering.

Take a stroll through the nearby village, interacting with locals and discovering the rich culture that thrives in this hidden gem. Or embark on an eco-tour to witness the breathtaking beauty of the untouched landscapes that surround Hotel Balatura.
