In the heart of the Adriatic, on one of the most picturesque Dalmatian islands, a new gem of tourism will soon open – the exclusive Hotel Kali. Located in the town of the same name on the island of Ugljan, this four-star hotel offers the perfect blend of modern luxury and authentic island tradition, providing guests with an unforgettable vacation experience in an idyllic Mediterranean setting.


Transformation from old to new: Preserving heritage with contemporary luxury


Hotel Kali is the result of a careful transformation of a former restaurant, which had been an integral part of the local community for decades. Despite modernization and adaptation to contemporary standards, the hotel manages to preserve the spirit of the past, integrating traditional architectural elements into the new design. The renovation project was executed with special attention to detail, using natural materials such as stone and wood, to ensure an authentic Dalmatian ambiance.


Located next to the Church of St. Lawrence, the hotel offers guests a unique panorama that includes the crystal-clear sea of the Zadar archipelago, the city of Zadar on the horizon, and the imposing Velebit mountain in the background. This location allows visitors to experience the blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, creating the perfect place to escape the stresses of everyday life.


Exclusive accommodation in harmony with nature


Hotel Kali features 15 elegantly decorated rooms that exude sophistication and comfort. Each room is designed with an emphasis on spaciousness, natural lighting, and minimalist aesthetics, ensuring a relaxing atmosphere. High-quality materials and carefully selected decorative elements reflect the spirit of the Mediterranean, while modern technologies ensure complete comfort for the guests.


Special emphasis is placed on sustainability – the hotel implements ecological standards in its operations, using renewable energy sources, water-saving systems, and recyclable materials. Sustainable tourism has become a crucial factor in the development of the modern hotel industry, and Hotel Kali demonstrates how luxury can go hand in hand with environmental care.


Culinary offer: Authentic flavors of the Mediterranean


One of the hotel's most important assets is its restaurant, which will accommodate up to 150 people, offering top-tier gastronomic offerings based on fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients. Kali is known as a place with a long fishing tradition, and this authenticity will be reflected in the dishes served to guests.


Delicacies prepared from freshly caught fish and seafood, along with fresh vegetables from local farms and high-quality olive oil, will be served from the restaurant's kitchen. The top-notch culinary team will ensure that each meal becomes a true gastronomic adventure, inspired by the rich Dalmatian culinary heritage. Guests will enjoy traditional specialties such as roasted octopus, brudet, dishes cooked under the bell, and freshly prepared pasta with seafood.


More than a hotel: Contribution to the local community


Hotel Kali is not just conceived as a luxury destination for guests but also as a driver of positive change in the local community. By employing local residents and collaborating with local producers, the hotel actively participates in the economic and social development of the area. The goal is to create a sustainable business model that will generate long-term benefits for everyone – from the locals to the guests who want to experience true island authenticity.


Additionally, the hotel plans to organize various cultural and gastronomic events that will promote the tradition of the island of Ugljan, including cooking workshops, wine and olive oil tastings, and evenings with traditional music. In this way, Hotel Kali becomes a place where culture, tourism, and local heritage merge.


Active vacation and the natural beauty of the island of Ugljan


In addition to top-quality accommodation and gastronomy, guests will have the opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the island of Ugljan through various outdoor activities. Cycling and hiking trails allow for adventurous exploration of the island's hidden corners, while nearby coves are ideal for swimming and diving in crystal-clear waters.


For those seeking adrenaline thrills, kayak tours, boat trips to nearby islands, and sailing at sunset are available. The proximity of Zadar also provides easy access to cultural landmarks and city attractions, making Ugljan an ideal destination for a blend of relaxation and adventure.


A new era of tourism on the island of Ugljan


The island of Ugljan, known as the "green island" due to its rich vegetation and pristine nature, is increasingly becoming an attractive destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the tranquility of the Mediterranean landscape. With the opening of Hotel Kali, tourism on the island is being taken to a new level, offering guests an exclusive, yet simultaneously authentic experience of Dalmatia.


Through a combination of tradition, luxury, and sustainable development, Hotel Kali represents a new vision of the tourism offer that meets the needs of modern travelers. Its mission is not only to provide top-notch service but also to preserve and promote the cultural heritage and natural beauty of the island of Ugljan, ensuring that every guest leaves with unforgettable memories and a desire to return.

Tourism desk

Our Travel Desk was born out of a long-standing passion for travel, discovering new places, and serious journalism. Behind every article stand people who have been living tourism for decades – as travelers, tourism workers, guides, hosts, editors, and reporters. For more than thirty years, destinations, seasonal trends, infrastructure development, changes in travelers’ habits, and everything that turns a trip into an experience – and not just a ticket and an accommodation reservation – have been closely followed. These experiences are transformed into articles conceived as a companion to the reader: honest, informed, and always on the traveler’s side.

At the Travel Desk, we write from the perspective of someone who has truly walked the cobblestones of old towns, taken local buses, waited for the ferry in peak season, and searched for a hidden café in a small alley far from the postcards. Every destination is observed from multiple angles – how travelers experience it, what the locals say about it, what stories are hidden in museums and monuments, but also what the real quality of accommodation, beaches, transport links, and amenities is. Instead of generic descriptions, the focus is on concrete advice, real impressions, and details that are hard to find in official brochures.

Special attention is given to conversations with restaurateurs, private accommodation hosts, local guides, tourism workers, and people who make a living from travelers, as well as those who are only just trying to develop lesser-known destinations. Through such conversations, stories arise that do not show only the most famous attractions but also the rhythm of everyday life, habits, local cuisine, customs, and small rituals that make every place unique. The Travel Desk strives to record this layer of reality and convey it in articles that connect facts with emotion.

The content does not stop at classic travelogues. It also covers topics such as sustainable tourism, off-season travel, safety on the road, responsible behavior towards the local community and nature, as well as practical aspects like public transport, prices, recommended neighborhoods to stay in, and getting your bearings on the ground. Every article goes through a phase of research, fact-checking, and editing to ensure that the information is accurate, clear, and applicable in real situations – from a short weekend trip to a longer stay in a country or city.

The goal of the Travel Desk is that, after reading an article, the reader feels as if they have spoken to someone who has already been there, tried everything, and is now honestly sharing what is worth seeing, what to skip, and where those moments are hidden that turn a trip into a memory. That is why every new story is built slowly and carefully, with respect for the place it is about and for the people who will choose their next destination based on these words.
