When we first stood on this hill in 2016, there were only stones, the bora wind, and the view. Over the years, stone by stone and with our own hands, we created this heritage landscape to preserve the memory of Lošinj — an island shaped by its people over centuries.

Advance reservation is required for the Picnic experience at Providenca due to limited seating.
Every table at Providenca bears the name of a Lošinj captain or a sailing ship built on the island — in honour of the island's rich maritime past. Next to each table stands a portrait of the captain or the ship it is named after.
Enjoy a picnic basket full of local flavours — the very ones that Lošinj captains once carried across the Mediterranean. As the sun sets over the sea, every table has its own story.

A picnic means going somewhere. Stepping away from everyday life, arriving at a place with a view, and pausing.
On Lošinj, this very act of departure has been part of life for centuries. Sailors left the island and returned to it, and between those two moments a story was born that shaped its identity.
That is why the island's flavours are gathered at Providenca in a wicker basket. Just as the sea has intertwined the fates of people, islands and distant lands, so the flavours, stories and heritage of the Mediterranean are woven together in this basket.
A picnic at Providenca is not just a meal. It is part of the island's story.
At Providenca, the daylight reveals the island's heritage.

This is not just a walk, but an experience that connects you with Lošinj.
The storm has passed, the ship has been found, and all crew members have been saved… except one. Join experienced Lošinj captain Aldebrando Petrina in the search for the missing crew member.
