Location
Set in the Špadići area just north of Porec, Hotel Park Plava Laguna sits a few steps from the rocky shoreline and pine-backed bathing platforms of the Istrian coast. You’re close enough to feel the sea breeze yet far enough from the old town to enjoy a resort-style atmosphere with space for pools, gardens and sports.
A short stroll brings you to local bars, cafés and mini-markets, while a tourist train trundles you the 2km or so along the waterfront into Porec’s UNESCO-listed old town – think cobbled streets, Venetian houses and the Euphrasian Basilica. Boats, bike hire and coastal paths make it easy to explore further along this picturesque stretch of the Adriatic.

The nearest beach is around 100m away, along a short path. Typical of Istria, it’s a rocky coastline with paved areas for sunbathing and easy sea access, backed by pine and cypress trees. Clear waters are perfect for swimming and paddling; water shoes are recommended for little feet.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
Active guests can make use of the air-conditioned gym, fitted with cardio and fitness equipment and complemented by a small wellness area.
