The main buffet restaurant keeps things relaxed with a mix of Mediterranean and international favourites at breakfast and dinner, plus live-cooking stations in high season. Families are well catered for with highchairs and plenty of choice, while the smart-casual dress code keeps evenings feeling a touch more polished.

Two bars keep drinks and snacks flowing: a bright lobby bar open from morning until late, and a seasonal pool bar for coffees, ice creams and cold beers between swims. Opening dates, times, and whether reservations or supplements apply can vary by season and board basis, so check the latest details on arrival.

You’ll have two outdoor freshwater pools to choose from, both framed by loungers and parasols for lazy days in the sun. One of the pools features a shallow children’s section, making it easy for younger travellers to splash around within sight of parents. Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit.

The pebble and rocky shoreline of Zelena Laguna is about 300m away, where you’ll find bathing platforms, clear water for swimming and watersports centres in the wider area. It’s classic Istrian coastline – think pines, coves and incredibly clear Adriatic seas rather than wide sandy bays.

Active guests are well looked after. The air-conditioned gym comes with cardio kit and free weights, while daytime activities might include aqua aerobics or a game of volleyball.

The wellness centre offers a proper spa circuit – sauna, steam room, Turkish bath and whirlpool – plus a menu of massages, facials and beauty treatments, as well as a handy on-site hairdresser. Spa facilities and treatments generally carry an extra charge and are for guests 16+; note that the spa is a nude area, in line with local spa traditions.

Elsewhere you’ll find a children’s playground, regular entertainment in summer and all the basics such as 24-hour reception and luggage storage to make your stay run smoothly.
