Croatia is a small Mediterranean country widely praised for its stunning coastlines. Some locations, like Dubrovnik, have even been used for filming Game of Thrones. A completely different way to experience the Croatian coast is to stay in a lighthouse on a small island. Imagine having an entire lighthouse island as your home, naturally, an island only accessible by boat.
Off the coast of Croatia, 2.5 km from the main island of Istria, lies a small island. On the island is a lighthouse called Porer, built in 1833, standing 35 meters tall. Inside the lighthouse tower are two apartments, each with a double bed, a bathroom, and a fully equipped kitchen.
You can rent a private island at the lighthouse for just $133 a night.
Porer Lighthouse is a fantastic way for people to enjoy a completely different Croatian experience. The price per night on the island is $133 USD, for a maximum of 4 people, and is available for rent on Airbnb. On average, each guest staying on the island only pays $33 USD.
The lighthouse has a 35-meter-tall tower containing two apartment units. Each unit has two bedrooms, each with a double bed, a bathroom, and a fully equipped kitchen.
To reach this island, visitors simply need to take a 35-minute boat ride from the town of Premantura on Istria Island, costing $49 per person. Boat transfers take place in the morning, although the exact trip time depends on the weather. Generally, the journey lasts between 25 and 35 minutes. This is considered one of the favorite destinations for tourists visiting Croatia, especially those seeking peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
Make sure to bring plenty of food and drinks for the island, as there's nothing else there, so you'll be cooking your own meals throughout your stay. Also, personal phone use is severely restricted, and there's no Wi-Fi. It's best to turn off your phone and read a book or chat with friends on the island.
Bedroom inside the lighthouse
Here, you'll spend most of your time resting, relaxing, and immersing yourself in nature while strolling along the beach. The island is small, so it only takes about a minute to walk around the whole place. The sunset views here are considered stunning.
You should plan ahead because there are nothing (no shops, convenience stores, etc.) on the island, so visitors will need to bring all their necessities with them. You can buy groceries in Pula or Premantura before taking the boat to the island.
The minimum stay on the island is 3 nights. Check-in is after 9 AM and check-out is before 9 AM.
This is one of the favorite places for tourists visiting Croatia, especially those who prefer peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
Staying at a lighthouse is a unique experience that everyone should try at least once. It's a great option for those looking to disconnect from social media, but keep in mind that it can be difficult to run into town to buy anything.
On this idyllic island, you'll witness stunning sunrises and sunsets, and tranquil nights filled with stars. Furthermore, the lighthouse is an ideal place to explore, reminding you of true serenity and a connection with nature.
