Divota Apartment Hotel

Formerly populated by fishermen and farm labours, Split’s centuries-old Varoš neighbourhood lies between Diocletian’s Palace and Marjan hill. The old town is just a 10-minute walk away.

Here, hidden down winding alleys, Divota occupies half-a-dozen renovated old stone cottages, providing 19 rooms and ten self-catering apartments, complete with thoughtful extras, such as a coffee machines, bathrobes and beach towels.

Zen enthusiasts are in for a real treat – guests have the use of a delightful walled garden with Oriental landscaping incorporating palms, olive trees and lush shrubs, and a pavilion housing a spa, offering massage, beauty treatments, mindfulness meditation and Tibetan healing yoga.
