Celebrate a Royal spring in Croatia
The nation is in a jubilant mood this spring, thanks to the forthcoming nuptials of Prince William and Princess Catherine - and the many bank holidays surrounding the Royal Wedding!
If you are looking for a majestic trip to enjoy your very own spring celebration, then head to Monte Mulini. This elegant hotel in the picturesque Croatian town of Rovinj is only a 2 hour flight from London and offers an elegant refuge worthy of a king or queen.
Rovinj on Croatia's Istrian coast presents a view of the Mediterranean the way it used to be - picturesque, relaxed, and refined. The area is still a bit of a hidden treasure, and it is here, overlooking a sparkly bay, where guests in need of escape check into the five-star Hotel Monte Mulini. The property, which celebrates its second anniversary this month, has become renowned as one of Croatia's finest establishments since its launch in 2009.
The dramatic, contemporary building is set into the hillside of the Golden Cape, surrounded by the historic Zlatni Rt Forest Park. The park was established in 1890 by the Austrian Baron Hütterot and many an aristocrat walked its pebbly paths back in the day - in the present day bike rides offer an enjoyable alternative (Hotel Monte Mulini offers bikes free of charge to all hotel guests).
At Monte Mulini, every guest is treated like Royalty. Guest rooms and Suites are extremely spacious and offer an ambience of soothing luxury; service is five-star yet absolutely friendly and charming. Gourmets will revel in the gastronomic offer at Hotel Monte Mulini's two fine-dining restaurants. Executive chef Tomislav Gretic - who launched Dubai's Asia de Cuba and perfected his craft at Zürich's Dolder Grand - offers Mediterranean fusion cuisine in Restaurant Mediteraneo, and French delicacies in the more traditional Wine Vault. He is aided by Croatia's leading Sommelier Emil Perdec, who oversees a selection of over 600 Croatian and international wines in the hotel's impressive wine cellar.
For an indulgent Royal treatment guests should visit Hotel Monte Mulini's Art Wellness Spa. Not only does the opulent spa feature elegant gold and white interiors and a VIP salon, but its exclusive "Ceremony of Gold" spa package uses 24-karat gold particles! The package includes a Queen's Bath, Golden anti-aging facial, and Gold Treasure body treatment, leaving guests feeling rather regal.
