The designs for Europe's first rotating hotel, to be built on a hillside olive grove on Solta Island, have been unveiled.

Masterminded by Richard Hywel Evans of Studio RHE, the new-build marina and resort will be located 35 minutes by boat from Split.

The hotel will rotate from its position in the centre of an infinity-edged swimming lake that cascades onto a hillside spa below. Guests will have ever-changing views over the Adriatic Sea, the surrounding countryside and the Roman remains of a Diocletian fish farm.

The Waterfall Spa will feature a water-walled reception as well as five treatment rooms that are surrounded by a shallow lake.

Hywel Evans said: "This is a stunning example of how exciting and bold design can be. In the case of Solta Island, the need was simple: every guest should enjoy the breathtaking view and our design provides just that."

Studio RHE was commissioned by the Croatian developer The Profectus Group, which is currently in the final stages of signing off the project. Details: www.studiorhe.com
