Hotel Nautica

Opened in 2006 right beside Novigrad’s well-equipped yachting marina, the Nautica combines nautical flavour with contemporary comforts. The bespoke, dark wood, leather and brass furniture is styled after on-board fittings – it even extends to the ship’s wheel bedheads. With a restaurant, a large lounge bar, indoor pool and spa, it’s a welcome addition to Istria’s rapidly improving hotel stock. For those on sailing holidays, the ship-to-shore facilities could not be better.
