Valamar Bellevue
Modern rooms Exquisite sea views across the Adriatic Family-friendly with splash park and kids’ club Seafront setting with sunbathing platforms Stylish and elegant hotel design Free Wi-Fi throughout
Overview
Valamar Bellevue in Rabac is a contemporary seafront escape on one of Croatia’s most photogenic stretches of coastline. Think modern, light-filled rooms, a trio of pools and a splash park for younger guests, paired with cinematic Adriatic views from almost every corner. The vibe is relaxed but polished: broad sunbathing platforms built into the rocks, a pebbly Blue-Flag-style beach just below, and an All Inclusive programme that keeps families and couples happily fed and watered from breakfast until late evening.

Map & location
Rabac, Pula and Istrian Coast, Croatia
Rabac is one of Istria’s classic coastal towns, all white coves, pine forest and promenade life. Valamar Bellevue occupies a prime seafront perch, with direct access to rocky sunbathing platforms and a short 200m wander to a pretty pebble beach with crystal-clear shallows.
The local area is made for slow, scenic days: stroll the promenade for ice creams and seafood tavernas, or head inland to Labin’s pastel houses and cobbled streets for a dose of old-town charm. With walking and cycling trails weaving through the green hills behind the resort, it’s easy to mix beach time with gentle adventures.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Water babies are spoilt for choice. There are three outdoor pools in total:
– A freshwater activity pool with slides and a fun splash park area, ideal for children and families, set by the beach with a handy sunbathing deck, loungers, parasols and baby‑changing facilities.
– Two serene saltwater pools with broad sun terraces and sunbeds, perfect for lazy afternoons, book in hand, overlooking the Adriatic.
Complimentary pool towels are provided and facilities or depth restrictions may differ between pools.
Down at sea level, platforms carved into the rocks create natural sunbathing terraces, while a pebble beach just 200m away offers clear, calm water typical of Istria – brilliant for snorkelling, paddling and family swims (water shoes can be handy on the pebbles).
Spa, sports & wellness
Active guests can keep moving at the small but well-equipped gym (minimum age 18, seasonal opening), or join in with aqua aerobics, basketball, mini‑golf, table tennis, volleyball and yoga sessions.
For downtime, there’s access to a wellness centre featuring sauna, steam room, whirlpool, massage and beauty treatments plus an on‑site hairdresser – these facilities are located at the neighbouring Valamar Collection Girandella Family Hotel, around 300m away, and local charges apply.
On-site you’ll also find a mini‑market for holiday essentials and snacks, while reception can help with equipment hire (such as bottle warmers, kettles and pushchairs, all on request and subject to availability) as well as currency exchange, shuttle services and more (some services payable locally).

Food & drink
The heart of the All Inclusive offering is the Mediterraneo Restaurant, a bright buffet venue serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with Croatian and international dishes, show-cooking, plenty of salad and dessert choices, and family‑friendly touches like highchairs and microwaves.
Drinks and daytime refreshments are covered by three bars: a relaxed Lobby Bar for morning coffee or evening aperitifs, a lively Splash Pool Bar close to the water fun, and a cosy Wine Bar where you can sample Istrian labels as the sun dips behind the hills.
Smart-casual dress is encouraged in the main restaurant (no beachwear), reservations may be needed at busy times and some premium drinks or special experiences may carry a supplement in addition to the standard All Inclusive package. Opening dates and times can vary slightly by season.

More info
Rabac sits on Croatia’s Istrian coast, known for its pine forests, pebbly coves and terracotta-roofed hill towns. Expect Euro (€) as the local currency, Croatian as the main language (English widely understood in tourist areas) and a time difference of +1 hour from the UK. Typical flights from the UK to Pula take around 2.5 hours, with an onward resort transfer of about 1 hour to Valamar Bellevue.
Resort life leans relaxed and outdoorsy – hiking, biking and boat trips are all popular – and prices for eating out remain reasonable compared to many Western European beach destinations. Seasonal events such as the Rabac Summer Carnival bring extra colour and music to the promenade.
Hotel facilities, entertainment schedules and inclusions can vary outside peak summer and are always subject to local weather and operational considerations. For entry rules and health guidance see the UK FCDO Croatia advice.
