LOŠINJ HOTELS & VILLAS GEARS UP FOR A SEASON OF EVENTS 

FROM CLASSIC CARS TO GASTRONOMY TO A MONTH-LONG HEALTH AND WELLNESS FESTIVAL, LOŠINJ IS THE PLACE TO BE THIS AUTUMN

For 140 years, Lošinj has attracted a wealth of visitors from modern-day UK travellers all the way back to Austro-Hungarian aristocracy, and the Croatian Island continues this tradition of being a top destination with a season of fantastic events! Starting from 4th September, Lošinj Hotels & Villas will be the perfect base to explore the season-long events schedule. 

From 4th to 7th September, the Autumn Event Season kicks off with the Concour de Croatie and Croatian Car & Design Week! Returning for its second year, this elite automotive event will showcase some of the rarest and most extraordinary cars in the world, from vintage classics to modern masterpieces. Brand-new for this year is the appearance of two legends in the car industry: Professor Peter Stevens and Fabrizio Giugiaro, who will be presenting the McLaren F1 – a rare opportunity to see the car! 

Professor Peter Stevens is considered to be one of the most influential automotive designers, renowned for his work on the McLaren F1, Jaguar XJR-15 (the world's first carbon-fibre road car), BMW V12 LMR (winner of the 1999 24 Hours of Le Mans), the redesigned Lotus Espirit, and collaborations with major brands such as Lamborghini, Subaru, and Prodrive. Fabrizio Giugiaro is a visionary founder of GFG Style and a worldwide icon in automotive design. His innovative and creative thinking has reshaped car styling across the industry. 

From 11th – 14th September, Taste the Mediterranean will tantalise tastebuds in Lošinj Hotels & Villas exceptional selection of restaurants and in nearby Mali Lošinj. For the first time, Taste the Mediterranean, an international festival of Mediterranean food, wine, and lifestyle, is being held in Kvarner, the Croatian region in which Lošinj is located. This is coming at the perfect time as Kvarner has been named 'European Region of Gastronomy 2026' by the IGCAT (Institute for Gastronomy, Culture, Arts, and Tourism). As well as the two five-star hotels and beautiful collection of luxurious villas, Lošinj Hotels & Villas has an impressive portfolio of restaurants located around Čikat Bay. 

During the foodie festival, guests can enjoy international cuisine with a choice of over 400 sommelier-selected wines at Michelin-Star Alfred Keller Restaurant, the most delicious Greek cuisine at Bava Innovation, and delightful seafood dishes at Konoba Cigale, a Croatian fish tavern by the sea in Mali Lošinj that serves freshly-caught fish and seafood. 

As the grand finale to the season, Lošinj Hotels & Villas will be hosting the MEDISOLA – Health and Vitality Festival 2025 from 2nd – 26th October, further cementing Lošinj's 140-year-long position of being “The Island of Vitality”. Due to an unusual yet natural phenomenon called the “Kvarner Effect” accompanied by a combination of 2,600 hours of sunshine, high air quality and pressure, therapeutic aerosols from medicinal plants, and a high concentration of salt in the air, Lošinj has (scientifically-proven) healthy air. 

The festival opens on 2nd October with a conference featuring two thought-provoking panels: The Healing Power of Lošinj – Through Experience and Science and Lošinj as a Space for a New Tourism Paradigm. Over the month of October, the theme of wellness will be felt across the island, specifically via these six key elements: 

• Medical Excellence – “Health as an Investment”: Each weekend will spotlight a speciality through lectures, Q&As, private consultations, or book exclusive packages at the Bellevue Medical Clinic with hosts including Dr Marina Stolić (aesthetic surgery), Dr Milka Popović and Dr Ana Gifing (functional medicine), Poliklinika Kardiomet (stress and burnout prevention), and Maratea Anti-Ageing Institute (advanced anti-ageing programmes) 
• Events – “Adriatic Beauty & Vitality Talks”: Conferences and weekly workshops will explore biohacking, longevity rituals, aesthetic medicine, the balance between natural and medical cosmetics, and beauty tech pop-ups 
• Spa – “Rituals of Vitality and Renewal”: Throughout the month, themed treatments, visiting therapists, aromatherapy with Lošinj botanicals, and candlelit evening spa rituals will take place 
• Food & Beverage – “Food as Therapy”: Mediterranean, plant-based, and anti-ageing menus will be available with nutritional insights, daily “vitality plates” and immersive masterclasses on functional foods, fermentation, and guided “Dinner with Nutritionist” experiences 
• Outdoor – “Breathe in Lošinj”: Forest bathing, sunrise breath meditations with harp, Nordic walking, aromatherapy walks, stand-up paddleboarding, and community vitality days will connect guests with Lošinj's restorative landscapes 
• Community Engagement – “Health as a Shared Value”: The festival will embrace the local community with educational programmes for schools, guided walks for residents, and open workshops to inspire every wellness 

This Autumn, there is truly something for every kind of traveller on Lošinj. Whether a guest is a classic car buff, a foodie aficionado seeking a gastronomic journey, or seeking to elevate their sense of personal wellness, Lošinj Hotels & Villas has the perfect event. 

“Lošinj: where health and vitality are not trends, but a way of life”.
