Hotel Suites
Our beach house was designed and inspired by our love for the island, its history and art. As soon as you step into your “new home” you are greeted by a calm, coastal palette of white, sand and dusky blue hues.
We have collaborated with a local artist and had her hand paint all of the headboards in each one of our 11 uniquely designed suites.

Signature of History
Kalamota Beach House is located on the site of the former Kalamota Pension, a Kolocep hotel opened in the 1920s, by a famous Slovenian painter Rudolf Marcic.
He bought a villa and turned it into a small hotel, more precisely ‘Pension Kalamota’. Here he founded a painting school and a small art colony, which was attended by numerous artists, painters, composers, and writers from all over the world.
Book of Impressions
His legacy is a book of impressions of this Kolocep hotel filled with compliments, drawings, and verses of the elated guests who enjoyed this pension of art. Rudolf Marcic ran the pension until 1953. It continued to operate afterward as an annex of a larger hotel. After the war devastation in the 1990s, the hotel became a ruin and without the guests for more than 25 years.
The new owners bought the building in 2016, and after a thorough renovation within existing dimensions, the new hotel opened its doors in 2018. All the details in its interior are a reminder of how it used to be. With a lot of old charm left, the hotel now represents a luxury vacation according to the modern standard.
