Hotel Excelsior****
A hotel right by the sea that meets all the requirements of a training camp.
My personal tip for you
Located directly on the Adriatic coast, the four-star hotel boasts a large spa area with two Finnish saunas and an indoor pool with numerous lounging options, as well as training sessions on the natural grass pitch in Lovran, which is within walking distance.

Training
The two natural grass pitches in Lovran and Draga are connected to the Hotel Excelsior. The pitch in Lovran is located just 500 metres from the hotel and is therefore just a few minutes' walk away. It was newly laid out in 2025 and measures 100 x 62 metres. Right next to it is a small artificial turf pitch (40 x 20 metres).
There is also a natural grass pitch (102 x 62 metres) at NK Draga, which was also prepared for the upcoming autumn and winter season in September 2025. Training sessions can start after a journey of around 13 minutes or 8.4 kilometers.
