Hotel Villa Margaret  

Perched in Porat, Malinska-Dubasnica, right on the Kvarner Gulf seafront. This beach hotel sits steps from Uhić Beach and Porat Kloster and is under a mile from Vantacici Beach.

Once a beloved B&B, Villa Margaret was refurbished into a premium four-star hotel in 2015 and keeps that intimate, small-family vibe. The 24 guestrooms and apartments offer private furnished balconies or patios, minibars and flat-screen TVs. Expect seafront terraces, garden-grown ingredients in the kitchen, and mornings with birds, waves, and a salty breeze.

Full-service spa with massages, body treatments and facials, plus a sauna and steam bath. Outdoor pool, health club and a private beach keep the days active or lazy. Extras include a hair salon, diving club, poolside bar and tour desk — plus shuttle service to local sights (surcharge).

Complimentary wired and wireless internet throughout the property and express check-in with a 24-hour front desk. Free self-parking onsite makes arrivals easy.

On-site restaurant and bar/lounge with a poolside option. Mediterranean and local flavors feature ingredients grown in the hotel garden; breakfast is served on the seafront terrace (available for a fee) and limited room service is offered.
