Stone Villa for Renovation – Former Hotel Near the Sea, Lopar, Rab
Located in the heart of Lopar, just a few minutes’ walk from the sandy beach, this authentic stone villa with a rich history offers a rare opportunity for renovation. Situated on a peaceful elevation overlooking the sea and surrounding area, the property reflects the architectural character of past times, blending historical charm with the potential for modern functionality.
The main building spans approximately 450 m² of gross floor area, spread over three levels and an attic, built entirely in stone. The front features spacious terraces with sea views, while the ground floor already includes a partially renovated apartment and a rustic tavern, leaving room for further customization.
An additional stone outbuilding of approx. 78 m² (footprint) is located on the parcel. It once served as a smokehouse and is ideal for conversion into a guesthouse, studio, wellness space, or extra apartments.
Access to the property is very easy and practical – a paved road leads directly to the courtyard. Parking is available on the parcel by the road, with additional space for creating more parking spots depending on future planning.
Lopar is a well-known tourist destination in the northern part of Rab Island, famous for its many sandy beaches, especially the 2-kilometer-long Paradise Beach. Restaurants, shops, walking paths, a marina, and maintained beaches are all nearby, making the location attractive both for tourism and everyday living.
Rab Island is one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic, rich in forests, coves, and cultural heritage. It is well connected to the mainland by ferry and catamaran lines (Stinica and Valbiska), and its internal road network provides easy access to all settlements and natural attractions.
This villa presents a unique opportunity to renovate a property with character – whether as a holiday home, villa with apartments, family residence, or tourism investment. Its proximity to the sea, authentic stone construction, and flexible interior layout make it attractive to both local and international buyers.
