Hotel Spongiola  

On the tiny, pine‑fringed island of Krapanj — the island’s only hotel — set right on the coast and just steps from the Krapanj Franciscan Monastery. The beach hotel sits in the village centre (about 100 m to local bars and restaurants) and is roughly 7 km from Sibenik and 17.5 km from Krka National Park; Split Airport is about 52.6 km away.

Built on the grounds of an old sponge cooperative, the property keeps authentic island architecture and a compact, seaside vibe. There are 23 rooms (suites, doubles and triples), all air‑conditioned with minibars, en‑suite bath/shower, hairdryers, safes, desks and balconies or terraces on many rooms. The owners run a proper diving centre and the hotel houses its own state‑of‑the‑art diving equipment.

Relax at a full‑service spa with massages, two saunas (infrared/combined), a solarium, indoor pool and a hot tub. Active types get aqua aerobics, a fitness room and an array of water sports — banana boating, water‑skiing, jet‑skiing, motor boating, surfing and sailing — and sun loungers/parasols are available on the private beach. Other perks include an arcade/game room, library, concierge, gift shop and complimentary wireless internet.

Conference hall and meeting/presentation facilities are available, plus complimentary wireless internet throughout. Practical services include express check‑in/out, dry cleaning/laundry, a train station pick‑up service and free self parking onsite.

Eat on site at an à la carte restaurant, grab a snack in the café or unwind at the bar and beach bar. A complimentary full breakfast is served daily (7:30–10:30), room service is offered during limited hours, and the menus feature local flavours and seafood.
