Umag, Pula and Istrian Coast, Croatia

Days start with generous breakfasts and end with sunset drinks overlooking the pines and sea. The main Magnolia Restaurant blends buffet and à la carte service with show cooking, serving international favourites alongside Istrian specialities at breakfast and dinner.

Mediteran à la carte restaurant, set by the pool, focuses on local flavours – think fresh Adriatic fish, pasta and Croatian wines – ideal for a leisurely lunch or dinner in summer (typically open 01 Jul–15 Sep, depending on occupancy).

There are two relaxed bars: a lobby bar that’s open late for coffees or nightcaps, and a seasonal beach bar right by the shore (usually June–mid-September, daytime hours). Smart casual dress is encouraged in the restaurants and lobby bar (no beachwear; long trousers may be requested for gentlemen).

Menu details, opening times, reservations and any supplements can change by season and board basis, so check the latest information on arrival.

The hotel’s pool scene is designed for slow days in the sun. There are two outdoor saltwater pools with surrounding sun terraces, loungers and parasols – one with an especially chic, zen-like feel that’s perfect for long, lazy afternoons. Free pool towels are provided.

For cooler seasons or a break from the midday sun, a heated indoor saltwater pool is available (usually open January–May and again from mid-September through December).

Wander around 100m through the pines to reach the coast, where rocky bathing platforms and beach areas offer direct access to the clear Adriatic. It’s classic Istria: calm waters, beautiful views and plenty of space to stretch out and gaze at the horizon.

Wellness takes centre stage at Hotel Pelegrin Plava Laguna. The spa features a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath and whirlpool, plus a menu of massage and beauty treatments, along with an on-site hair salon (services generally 16+, extra charges apply).
