Velebit mountain retreat Stars Peak

Summit. Swim. Stargaze.

Mountain retreat at 900 metres, between the peaks of Velebit and the Adriatic Sea.

  • 900 meters elevation
  • 30 min to the sea
  • Beautiful view of the mountain
  • Inside Velebit Nature Park

Three landscapes. One stay

Mountain mornings, Adriatic afternoons and quiet nights under the stars — three landscapes in a single day from Stars Peak.

  • Stars Peak cabin beside a meadow with Bačić Kuk peaks beyond the forest

    Mountain

    Wake up under the peaks of Velebit. Trail begins from the Stars Peak doorstep, exploring the Velebit mountain.

    Hiking on Velebit

  • Tatinja cove near Karlobag — pebble beach and Adriatic view, half an hour from Stars Peak

    Sea

    Tatinja beach — just half an hour from the house. Clear water, a quiet cove, and the Velebit peaks within easy reach.

    Coast & landscapes

  • Crescent moon above the Velebit ridge at dusk

    Stars

    After sunset, silence settles across the ridge and moon and the stars becomes the brightest light in the sky.

    Stargazing

Life at Stars Peak

Mountain ridge in the window, a quiet living room, and evenings in the outdoor kitchen — life at Stars Peak in three moments.

  • Stars Peak wooden cabin with Bačić Kuk rising above the forest

    View of Bačić Kuk

    Bačić Kuk rises above the treeline minutes from the door — forest, silence and a wide view of the summit on Velebit, right from Stars Peak.

  • Living room with fireplace and wooden stairs

    Living room

    The living room is the heart of your stay — local wood, a fireplace and soft light from the gallery. A calm place to unwind after the trail, plan the next hike or watch the peaks through the glass.

  • Outdoor kitchen table set for lunch with forest and mountain view at Stars Peak

    Outdoor kitchen

    The summer kitchen and terrace are where days slow down — grill outdoors, pine-scented air and meals with the mountain close by.

From first light to nightfall

Mountain summit, Adriatic swim and starry sky — in one place, in one day. This is what life at Stars Peak feels like.

  1. Coffee with a view of Bačić Kuk

    The day begins slowly. Coffee on the terrace as the first light reaches the peaks of Bačić Kuk.

  2. Hike to Bačić Kuk

    The trail starts minutes from the door — a classic Velebit ascent with wildernes around.

  3. Swim in Karlobag

    Half an hour downhill and you are on the Adriatic — crystal clear sea before lunch.

  4. Dinner by the fire

    Grill on the outdoor kitchen, sunset and a good book.

  5. Milky Way above Velebit

    No light pollution — just stars, hammocks and the majestic ridge against the night sky.
