Hotel Villa Amalia - Liburnia (Opatija, Croatia)

About Villa Amalia - Liburnia

The magnificent story of this Opatija villa began back in 1890. The Villa Amalia (4*) is the annexe to the Hotel Kvarner. It is situated right by the sea along the famous Lungomare seafront promenade in Opatija. Surrounded by a lush green park dotted with Mediterranean and exotic plants, it soon became a popular winter health resort for the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy. This villa was also the favourite choice of the German imperial family and the charismatic American dancer Isadora Duncan, who found inspiration for her dance movements in the fluttering of the palms that grew next to the villa. The Opatija sculptor Tatjana Kostanjević created a sculpture of her that is today situated in front of the villa. The Villa Amalia is located next to the Hotel Kvarner, and its guests can enjoy all the hotel's services and amenities, including conference halls, an outdoor pool and the hotel beach. There is also the world-famous Crystal Hall. The adjacent Hotel Kvarner boasts one of the most beautiful terraces in Opatija, where guests can enjoy excellent Mediterranean cuisine, top-quality wines and selected desserts such as the Opatija Camellia cake.
