Certified Sustainable Hotel

Bluesun Hotel Elaphusa sits in a privileged position on the seafront path between Bol and Zlatni Rat Beach on Brac Island. You’re just a few steps from a pebbled beach backed by pine trees, and a gentle 500m stroll brings you to the famous horn-shaped Zlatni Rat, one of Croatia’s most photographed beaches.

Follow the promenade in the other direction and you’ll reach the centre of Bol in about 800m, where you’ll find cafés, wine bars, ice-cream parlours and harbourside restaurants serving the island’s excellent seafood and lamb dishes. It’s a brilliant base if you want a relaxed beach setting with easy access to a lively little town and hiking or biking in Brac’s rugged interior.
