As we say goodbye to another year filled with unforgettable moments and experiences shared with our guests, we reflect on 2024 with immense pride and joy. More than 27,500 guests, including 4,375 children, enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere of our hotel this year. Surrounded by the peaceful embrace of the authentic pine forest, they relaxed and created unforgettable memories with their loved ones. We proudly highlight this year’s investments and successful projects, new friendships, and the countless smiles that filled our halls and terraces.
A warm welcome to our new lobby
One of the most exciting milestones this season was unveiling our beautifully renovated lobby. Guests’ reactions were priceless as they stepped into our redesigned space, featuring an elegant reception area, the inviting Pine Bar with expansive outdoor terraces, and a brand-new children’s playroom. Pine Bar became a true oasis for sweet lovers – homemade cakes won the hearts (and taste buds) of all generations, with over 1,600 portions served.

Beachside Bliss and Culinary Delights
Down by the sea, the Bura Beach Bar added a refreshing touch to our guests’ beach days. This year, more than 70,000 scoops of homemade ice cream brought smiles to sun-soaked faces. For pizza lovers, Restaurant Kantun was a must-visit stop. This year, we introduced a new pick-up point concept, allowing guests to enjoy perfectly baked pizzas directly on the beach, accompanied by the soothing sound of the sea. With more than 6,900 pizzas sold, this concept proved to be an absolute hit among our guests. Seafood enthusiasts found their paradise at the Lanterna restaurant. With more than one ton of fresh fish and seafood served, we satisfied many cravings for sea-fresh delicacies.

Evenings to remember with Pinija Summer Nights
Our Pinija Summer Nights events elevated evening entertainment to new heights. We hosted numerous themed events and evenings, further enriching the experience of our guests. With more than 15,600 cocktails sold, every party was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, creating unforgettable moments and a relaxed environment for all visitors.
Professional and special events
We were also privileged to host numerous domestic and international seminars and business conferences, further enhancing Hotel Pinija’s position as a favorite destination for corporate and professional events. With various Pini-themed family weekends in spring, we marked our Pini sea turtle mascot’s birthday, welcoming the children from “Zvjezdice Kindergarten” as our special guests. The day was filled with creative workshops and fun, with smiles all around.

Looking Ahead to 2025
As we wave goodbye to 2024, we’re already gearing up for an even more exciting 2025. Among the novelties awaiting our guests are a family sauna and “adults-only” saunas within our newly renovated indoor pool area. We’re also thrilled to announce the grand opening of the Congress & Event Center Zadar. This state-of-the-art venue will serve as a hub for corporate events, romantic weddings, and unforgettable celebrations.
Thank you for being part of our story, and we look forward to seeing you in 2025 – may it be even more beautiful, filled with new experiences, adventures, and memories. Every moment you shared with us was an inspiration to become even better. Here’s to another fantastic year ahead at Hotel Pinija!
