Falkensteiner Hotel Spa Iadera

About Falkensteiner Hotel Spa Iadera

*Seasonal closing: Jan 8 to Mar 15, 2012* First and currently only five star hotel in the Zadar region, opened in Summer 2011. Largest wellness/Spa in Zadar with 6000 sqm/ 64500 sqft of wellness area. Exceptional location, on the tip of the Punta Skala peninsula, offers fantastic panoramic view of the Adriatic Sea and local islands, only 15 km/ 9.5 miles from Zadar city center. The hotel features a striking modern architecture, spacious lobbies, restaurants and bars and is surrounded by a large park. The sea shore is only steps away. Pine trees are offering shade and hammocks for relaxation. In front of the hotel the beach consists of a mix of pebbles and rocks that allow for privacy. At Punta Skala, we have worked together with international experts to implement a complex system that will minimize our ecological footprint in the long run. A water treatment plant supplies us with the water needed for daily use on the holiday peninsula and generates energy for heating and cooling. In addition, a completely organic purification system helps us to preserve the environment. The sustainable water treatment plant at Punta Skala consists of a water pump which pumps seawater out of the sea and into the plant at a constant temperature. Energy generation, where the seawater is used for cooling (in the summer) and heating (in the winter) in the hotels and the apartment complex. This reduces the need for fossil fuels. A desalination system where part of the seawater is desalinated using an osmosis system and can be used as drinking water while the remaining water is diverted back into the sea. Also a purification system that cleanses wastewater, using a completely organic purification system and is stored with the collected rain water and the greywater from the swimming pools. The impotable water is then used for flushing toilets and for watering the gardens.

Punta Skala Peninsula is on one of the most beautiful coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, with historical cities and a fascinating hinterland. The Falkensteiner Hotel and Spa Iadera is located right at the tip of the Peninsula. It can be reached easily by car, plane, ferry or train via good connections. The resort is roughly 15 kilometres from Zadar city centre and around 25 kilometres from the Zadar Zemunik airport. From Punta Skala many of the famous attractions can be easily reached. Like the Plitvice Lakes National Park, a Unesco World Heritage Site, the Krka Waterfalls National Park, the Kornati Islands National Part with fantastic bays or the Paklenica National Park with a canyon and 150 km of hiking trails.
