Pical Hotel Valamar Collection sits just north of Poreč, on a pine-backed stretch of coastline where rocky outcrops and pebble coves meet crystal-clear Adriatic waters. The setting feels resort-like and relaxed, yet you’re close enough to dip into Istria’s culture and café scene whenever the mood strikes.

A short walk brings you to a pebble beach with beach bars and watersports, while the tourist train trundles along the shore into Poreč’s old town. Here you can wander cobbled alleys, admire Byzantine mosaics in the UNESCO-listed Euphrasian Basilica, or choose a waterfront taverna for fresh seafood and Istrian wine.
