Mali Losinj Guide

The Croatian town of Mali Losinj is located in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County on the island of Losinj in the west of the country. The town is actually located at the base of a protected harbour on Losinj island's south east coast and is adorned with many fine examples of 19th century sea captain's houses that line the charming town's seafront. The ancient part of the town manages to retain an element of tranquillity even during the busy summer months and along with its pleasant climate and new hotels is a lovely place to visit. All of the hotels are located out of the town leading up from the harbour to Suncana Uvala in the south and Cikat to the south west. The 19th century saw the town really begin to grow when the rich of Vienna and Budapest began building luxurious hotels and villas in the town. Some of these lovely buildings remain although many of the hotels are modern buildings that are surrounded by pine forests that seem to surround the region's beaches and coves.

From the town's port, ferries depart to other destinations in Croatia and to Italy, including Venice.
