The newly built Spongiola Hotel is located on a small picturesque island of Krapanj-the lowest inhabited island in the Adriatic-and is surrounded by a beautiful pine forest. It was built on the property of an old sponge cooperative. With its authentic architectural design, it fits perfectly into the scenery. The Spongiola Hotel, which is located in the centre of the village, is the only hotel on the island of Krapanj. The inhabitants of the island are sponge harvesters and fishermen by tradition.
