Location
Set on the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula, Park Plaza Belvedere Medulin hugs the seafront promenade just outside Medulin’s small harbour. You’re a short walk from a pebble beach and under 10 minutes on foot from sandy Bijeca Beach, one of the region’s most family-friendly stretches of shoreline thanks to its gently shelving shallows.
The historic fishing village of Medulin has evolved into a low-key resort, with waterfront cafés, ice-cream bars and boat trips to nearby islands. Pula’s Roman amphitheatre and cobbled old town sit just up the coast, making easy half-day excursions.

Restaurants and Bars
Start the day with a generous buffet breakfast, where the main hotel restaurant lays on hot and cold options, continental favourites and local touches. In the evening, Half Board guests can return for relaxed buffet dinners with salads, grills and family-friendly choices.
Between meals, you’re well covered for drinks and light bites. Bar & Restaurant Lungomare keeps the seafront terrace scene going with snacks and refreshments during the day, the Pool Bar serves cool drinks between swims, while the Lobby Bar is ideal for a pre-dinner aperitif or a nightcap.
A smart-casual dress code may apply in the restaurant, and opening hours or supplements can vary by season and board basis. For more detail on inclusions, see what board upgrades typically include.
Pool Areas and Beach
Outside, two saltwater pools make the most of the hotel’s seafront position. The main outdoor pool has plenty of space for laps and lounging, while the adjacent children’s pool keeps little ones happily splashing. A heated indoor saltwater pool means you’re covered at the start and end of the season too (opening dates can vary by year and occupancy).
Just in front of the hotel you’ll find rock and platform bathing terraces with direct access to the sea – perfect if you like to dive straight into deep blue water. For sand between your toes, take the short walk to Bijeca Beach: a gently shelving sandy bay ideal for paddling, inflatables and relaxed family days by the shore.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
The compact spa and wellness centre offers a calm retreat after a day exploring the Istrian coast. Unwind in the sauna, book a massage or opt for a facial or beauty treatment (services are typically for guests 16+ and incur extra charges).
Active guests are well catered for with a gym (open long hours in season), mini-golf and access to local tennis courts. The wider Medulin sports area, used by professional teams outside peak season, adds football pitches and marked bike trails to the mix, making this a strong base for cycling or training camps as well as casual holiday workouts.
Around the hotel you’ll also find relaxed lounge areas, a 24-hour reception, currency exchange and concierge support to help arrange boat trips, Pula visits or island-hopping excursions.
