Overview

 
Family Hotel Amarin is one of the stand-out family resorts on Croatia’s Istrian Coast. Think sleek, contemporary design right on the waterfront, a lazy-river-style pool scene, and some of the most imaginative kids’ facilities in the region – from science lab and cinema to a games console arcade and age-zoned clubs that run all day. With Full Board dining, a soothing spa and picture-perfect Rovinj just along the shore, it’s a smart choice for families who like their beach holidays playful but polished.

Set on its own verdant peninsula, Family Hotel Amarin makes a dramatic first impression with bold, modern architecture that curves towards the sea. Floor-to-ceiling glass, playful pops of colour and sweeping Adriatic views create a light, uplifting atmosphere, while landscaped gardens, pine trees and beachfront promenades make it easy to drift between pool, spa and shore with kids in tow. For families seeking Croatia’s coastal charm with all the practical touches dialled in, Family Hotel Amarin delivers exactly that: a stylish beachfront base with outstanding children’s facilities, lazy river, spa and Full Board dining on the Pula and Istrian Coast. It’s approximately 1 hour 30 minutes from Pula (PUY) airport. See more Croatia holidays.

Map & location


Rovinj, Pula and Istrian Coast, Croatia

Family Hotel Amarin sits on a lush, pine-clad peninsula just outside Rovinj, with the Adriatic Sea on its doorstep and views across the water to the old town’s bell tower. A coastal path and waterfront promenades invite easy strolls with pushchairs, while pebble and platform beaches provide clear, swimmable water typical of Istria.

Rovinj itself is a short hop away by tourist train or seasonal water taxi, perfect for evening gelato runs, exploring cobbled lanes, and sampling Istrian cuisine in harbourside konobas. You’re far enough from the bustle to keep things peaceful for little ones, but close enough that day trips are simple.

  • Beachfront on the seafront
  • shops, bars & restaurants 300m
  • Rovinj resort centre / Old Town 4.5km
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour 30 minutes from Pula (PUY)
