Lošinj, an island located in Croatia’s Kvarner Bay in the northern Adriatic Sea, has a long history of wellness. Kvarner Bay is one of the mildest Adriatic regions due to the Učka mountain range, which protects the coast and islands from cold northerly winds. This special microclimate is known today as the “Kvarner effect”, which offers natural healing: around 2,600 hours of annual sunshine, high air quality and pressure, therapeutic aerosols from the sea air and the high salt concentrations of the Adriatic Sea make this Croatian island a prime restorative environment.
