Design: The pleasure of proximity to beautiful things
Almayer is designed and thoughtfully reimagined by its creative owners, spouses Irina Bakija and Vjekoslav Bobić. The hotel’s interiors are visually lavish, truly eclectic, and filled with the cosmopolitan Mediterranean spirit. Guided by a holistic design manifesto that connects architecture, heritage, visual identity and art, the emphasis was on creating a strong emotional impact and a sense of intuitive comfort that feels like home. The result is a stylish and welcoming atmosphere that celebrates the unique relationship between people and place.
Experience the art of feeling at home at Almayer. Our establishment offers all modern amenities, as expected in a contemporary city Adults-only boutique hotel, but we’re much more than that.
