Mamula Island, a Member of Design Hotels

Encircled by the sea, Mamula Island is a brilliantly restored 19th-century fort in a UNESCO World Heritage Site—a one-of-a-kind setting reimagined for sophisticated individualists and lovers of nature. Originally a fortress built in 1852, the hotel is born from a meticulous restoration done in concert with local heritage authorities. Through prominent courtyards and outdoor gathering spots, Mamula Island has become an open, breathing entity that allows the sea, wind, rocks, and crashing waves to augment the beauty of the structure.
