The Slovenian share of the Adriatic

Slovenia’s short stretch of coast, wedged between Italy and Croatia, is something of an undiscovered Adriatic gem.

Just 47km (29 miles) of shoreline manages to squeeze in a compact cocktail of its neighbours, such as the charmingly faded Italianate town of Piran, whose architecture betrays its centuries as part of the Republic of Venice, the quaint fishing town of Izola and 19th century resort of Portorož, along with rugged cliffs, salt pans and fishing villages.

The emerald waters are shallow and warm, and there are numerous pebbly beaches and bays to discover. Due to the scale of Slovenia, the vineyards and mountains beyond are within easy reach, as are the attractions of the Croatian portion of Istrian peninsula and Venice, meaning you can be back after a day trip overlooking Piran’s beautiful square as the sun sets behind the sea.

Luxury accommodation in Slovene Riviera

There are many incredible places to stay in Slovene Riviera. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:

Slovene Riviera

Kempinski Palace Portoroz
It’s all in the name. Indulge in the opulence and grandeur of the high-end Hotel Kempinski Palace, its brilliant and distinct façade looking out onto the Adriatic coastline of Slovenia. Opened as the height of luxury in 1910, it has recently been completely renovated to bring this glamour into the new century. 181 rooms are indicative of the elegance inherent within the hotel’s walls, each carrying with it a character of old-world charm with the most modern facilities and amenities. Take in the rich views from its various terraces and balconies, the perfect place to settle down for an early morning cappuccino before heading to the breakfast buffet within the gilded walls of the Crystal Hall. Indeed, the gastronomic options are of the highest quality. The cuisine varies from menu to menu, with the Mediterranean flavours of Restaurant Sophia, so named because of its hosting of famous beauty Sophia Loren, to the fusion of Restaurant Fleur de Sel. Savour the sweet life by sampling French confectionaries and Austrian coffee-house blends of the Forma Viva and Ladies’ Saloon while there are three bars in which you can kick back with a cocktail or spirit of your choice. No trip to this most lovely location would be complete without a visit to the Kempinski Rose Spa, a veritable paradise of beauty treatments, massages, baths and saunas. The fitness centre means you will be able to stay in shape, using the state-of-the-art equipment as well as the magnificent seawater swimming pool.
