On the newly built seventy-meter Opatija pier lies the Amore Sea Club – a unique concept that combines design, gastronomy, and yachting into an unforgettable experience for all guests. This project was entirely conceived and invested in by the owner of the legendary Bevanda Hotel, entrepreneur and investor Zoran Maržić, with the aim of making Opatija a recognizable destination on the world yachting map.
The interior design was signed by architect Siniša Glušica from Dražul Glušica Architects studio, and the new visual identity is characterized by vibrant colors and playful shapes. The space is furnished with designer furniture from the Italian brand Slide from Milan, backed by renowned creators such as Paola Navone, Marcantonio, Favaretto&Partners, Roberto Paoli, Karim Rashid, and others. It is a bold departure from typical interior styles, giving Amore Sea Club a distinctive and relaxed character.
The gastronomic story is shaped by chef Filip Akrap, who gained experience in top restaurants such as Šibenik‘s Pelegrini, Maslina Resort on Hvar, Nobilion restaurant in Ikador, Regent Porto Montenegro, and Bistro Apetit in Zagreb. The menu features light and fresh summer combinations – from salads, sushi, and signature burgers to sweet bites, while the wine list is enriched by a unique collaboration with the renowned Rijeka-based Wine&Co Wine Shop, with the aim of offering guests truly exceptional wines at extremely affordable prices, all with the most beautiful sea view. A special feature of the offer is that wines are available at wholesale prices to take home, so the enjoyment can continue even outside the Amore Sea Club, or on site with a symbolic corkage. Within the terrace of Amore Sea Club, there is also a separate, attractive area with sun loungers intended for hotel guests, but also for outside visitors who can rent a lounger with an umbrella and completely relax by the sea.
"After thirty years spent in the USA, where I had the opportunity to work in hospitality at New York‘s Ritz-Carlton and run a Michelin-starred restaurant in Atlanta, I am very pleased today to transfer my experience and love for hospitality to Bevanda and Amore Sea Club. I believe that Opatija deserves projects that combine top gastronomy, design, and atmosphere at the level of the world‘s best destinations. That was exactly the idea behind our concept – to create a place that will be recognized for its quality and unique experience. I am especially proud of the long-standing cooperation between Bevanda and the Movia winery. We have opened a new chapter, which shows our desire to always go a step further, in our offer, in experience, and in creating unique moments for our guests. With the support of Wine&Co, I am convinced that we have set new standards, not only in Opatija but in the entire region." – said Sebastijan Katić, manager of Amore Sea Club and general manager of Bevanda.
Amore Sea Club is a true vibrant lounge zone with urban DJ rhythms, ideal for daytime relaxation by the sea, but also for an evening out. The terrace is open all year round for private events and special celebrations. Right in front of the Amore Sea Club terrace stretches 70 meters of the pier, which by next year will be able to accommodate about ten larger luxury yachts, with complete infrastructure and immediate proximity to all key amenities in Opatija. Amore Sea Club is designed as an unmissable place for owners and guests of luxury yachts – a space to enjoy creative dishes by chef Filip Akrap, a rich offer of wines and cocktails, and a view of the most beautiful that Opatija and the Adriatic have to offer.
With the opening of Amore Sea Club, Opatija gets a new must-visit spot that not only combines top design and gastronomy, but also opens an entirely new chapter in the development of yachting tourism. The investor and visionary‘s goal for the project is clear – to attract yacht guests from all over the world to the Amore pier and provide them with an experience that combines the best of Opatija and Kvarner.
With this step, Opatija ranks among the most attractive destinations on the yachting scene of the northern Adriatic – as a destination that offers its guests exclusivity, authenticity, and top quality on a world level.
