Sunny Porec by Valamar

Surrounded by lush forest and just steps from the beautiful Adriatic Sea, the Sunny Porec by Valamar Hotel is a vibrant and family-friendly resort on Croatia’s glamorous Istrian coast.

Rooms are bright, modern and colourful, offering views of the surrounding woodland or overlooking the hotel’s large outdoor pool, which is surrounded by sun loungers and features waterfalls, a Jacuzzi, and a hydro-massage area. A separate swim spot is dedicated to the kids, too, and there's a games lounge with pool tables, ping-pong and table football.

The Sunny Porec by Valamar Hotel is in a prime location for enjoying the wild, natural richness of the Istrian coastline, including a nearby Blue-Flag beach that's just 150 metres from the hotel and comes with naturally shaded areas and beach chairs to rent. It's just a 10-minute stroll from old town, too. But if you'd prefer to stay put, the hotel itself has a programme of daily fitness classes, offering everything from yoga to aqua aerobics.

As well as an extensive buffet restaurant – which includes a children’s corner – the hotel has a spacious poolside terrace with an à la carte menu of Mediterranean favourites. If you’d rather eat out, nearby Porec’s cobbled streets and bustling marina are a perfect place to try Istria’s outstanding gastronomy, particularly its truffles, seafood and fine wines.

Well-placed for a fabulous holiday in Istria, the Sunny Porec by Valamar is perfect for families who want to enjoy the best this famous stretch of Croatian coast has to offer.
