Aminess Younique Korčula Heritage Hotel opens – a 5-star luxury oasis in the heart of Korčula
Mövenpick Hotel & Residences Kvarner Bay opens its doors on 24 July and brings a new dimension of meetings, incentives and event tourism to the Croatian coast. As the first Mövenpick resort in Croatia, it is designed as a year-round destination that combines premium hotel service, modern convention facilities, a rich gastronomic offer and a range of unique locations for organising business and social events.
Situated right on the coast in Novi Vinodolski, Mövenpick Hotel & Residences Kvarner Bay is in an excellent transport position, in the immediate vicinity of three international airports and with excellent road connectivity towards Zagreb, Ljubljana, Trieste, Graz and other important Central European hubs. Alongside a panoramic view of the Kvarner Bay and Krk Island, the resort allows organisers to realise a complete programme in a single location, from conferences and business meetings to gala dinners, product launches, incentive trips and exclusive events.
The Mövenpick brand, founded in Switzerland in 1948, is today part of the Accor group, one of the world's leading hotel systems with more than 5,700 hotels in over 110 countries. Known for premium service and warm hospitality, Mövenpick brings international standards of organising business events to Croatia, alongside an authentic experience of Kvarner.
Compass Conference & Convention Centre – the heart of business events
Compass Conference & Convention Centre represents one of the most modern convention venues in the region. Flexible convention halls are equipped with state-of-the-art audiovisual technology and enable the organisation of conferences, congresses, training sessions, business meetings, product launches, gala dinners and other corporate events.
A particular value of the centre lies in its adaptability. Alongside convention halls named after well-known Adriatic winds, meeting rooms filled with natural light are available to organisers, enabling equally high-quality organisation of smaller board meetings and large international gatherings.
The resort as a unique stage for events
One of the greatest advantages of the Mövenpick Hotel & Residences Kvarner Bay resort is precisely the variety of spaces for organising events. Along with the convention centre, the entire resort is designed as a functional event destination that enables the organisation of various event formats across multiple attractive venues.
Eight Lounge, an elegant space with an impressive panoramic view of the Kvarner Bay, is ideal for welcome cocktails, networking events, gala dinners, formal receptions and exclusive presentations.
Sea Breeze Food & Fun provides a relaxed atmosphere for summer events, team building programmes and evening gatherings by the sea, while the Alba Signature Pool, with appropriate production, can be transformed into a spectacular outdoor event venue.
Numerous terraces, restaurants and open spaces with a sea view further expand the options for organisation, allowing the creation of unique events where business content naturally transitions into networking and an unforgettable experience of the destination.
Gastronomy that completes business events
An important part of any successful event is gastronomy, and this is precisely one of the trademarks of the Mövenpick brand. A special place is held by Affamata, an à la carte restaurant inspired by Italian cuisine, which combines premium gastronomy, an elegant interior and a spacious terrace with a unique sea view. Alongside the restaurants and bars within the resort, organisers have access to various catering options, coffee breaks, business lunches, gala dinners and themed events tailored to each programme.
Wellness as added value
Special value is added to the resort by the Salterra Wellness & Spa, which will open its doors during the winter of 2026. With more than 14,000 m² of indoor and outdoor facilities, it will be the largest wellness and spa centre in Croatia and will further enrich the offer for business guests. Heated seawater pools, a rich sauna zone, spaces for relaxation, treatments, yoga and pilates and the Korr. by Salterra panoramic fitness centre will allow organisers to create comprehensive programmes combining business, wellness and an active holiday. This makes Mövenpick Hotel & Residences Kvarner Bay an attractive destination not only for one-day conferences, but also for multi-day business gatherings and incentive trips throughout the year.
"From the very beginning, our goal was not just to build a hotel, but to create a destination that can respond to the needs of the most demanding event organisers. The combination of a modern convention centre, diverse event venues, premium gastronomy and a unique seaside setting allows us to organise everything from business meetings to large international conferences and exclusive events," noted Igor Nekić, General Manager of Mövenpick Hotel & Residences Kvarner Bay.
With the opening of the resort, Kvarner gains a new year-round MICE destination that combines international hotel standards, modern convention infrastructure and unique venues for organising all types of business events in one of the most attractive positions on the Croatian coast.
