Katarina Island

If you’ve been dreaming of a romantic island wedding abroad, Katarina Island might just be the hidden gem you're looking for. Located just five minutes by boat from the charming coastal town of Rovinj, this peaceful island offers timeless Mediterranean beauty, sea views in every direction, and the kind of natural privacy that’s hard to find on the mainland.

At the heart of the island is the elegant Island Hotel Katarina, a former Austro-Hungarian villa turned boutique hotel. With sea-facing terraces, lush gardens, and vintage-style rooms, it’s a place where old-world charm meets relaxed island living. Many couples choose to hold their wedding ceremony on the lawn with a view of Rovinj’s iconic skyline, then move to the upper or lower terrace for dinner and dancing under the stars.

 

 

This island is ideal for couples planning a wedding abroad that feels both romantic and easy. There are no cars, no noise, just pine trees, sea air, and your guests. Ceremonies here are peaceful and heartfelt, with the sound of waves in the background. Receptions are hosted on the terraces of the hotel’s restaurant, with views that stretch endlessly across the Adriatic.

The hotel offers around 110 rooms and several suites for guests, all styled with rustic elegance and offering views of the sea or garden. There's also a pool, shaded walkways, and plenty of private corners to relax in.

 

 

Because the island is so close to Rovinj, logistics are simple. Guests arrive by boat, and everything happens on site. You can host a welcome dinner, ceremony, reception, and even next-day brunch without leaving the island. It's a great option for couples who want a destination wedding in Croatia without having to coordinate transport across the region.
