Aminess Magal Hotel (formerly Hotel Beli Kamik), Aminess Veya Hotel (formerly Hotel Jadran), Aminess Gaia Green Villas (formerly Marbera Flora Green Villas) and Aminess Atea Camping Resort (formerly Camp Njivice) are new members of the Novigrad-based Aminess portfolio, which will jointly contribute to the company's additional growth and strong development in the competitive Croatian tourism sector.

"We're extremely pleased that the Njivice resort and camp have become part of the Aminess family and we will now have the opportunity to create great results together and contribute to the further development of Njivice and the island of Krk. We believe that the synergy of these two companies, Aminess and Hotel Njivice, will be a great success and mean stronger market visibility. We're convinced that we will further strengthen the fantastic story we have been creating with our employees and the guests in Novigrad, Orebic and on the island of Korcula for years with our new colleagues in Njivice on the island of Krk,'' said Zrinka Bokulic, President of Laguna Novigrad, which owns the Aminess brand.

And another of them napping on a bench on the island of Cres with the caption “We were so tired that day.” Understandable.
