Valamar Crystal

Valamar Crystal details

The Valamar Crystal is less than a 5-minute walk from the beach and offers sports and swimming pools for all ages.

It’s a family affair at the Valamar Crystal. There’s plenty to do for all ages during the summer months. Various sports for the adults, like tennis and football, go hand-in-hand with the kids’ club, playground and their own children’s pool. Speaking of which, when it’s time to cool down, there’s also an L-shaped saltwater pool for grown-ups – a chic looking number surrounded by palm trees, sunbeds and linen parasols.

Inside, the scene’s cool and contemporary with modern beech furniture, neutral tones and pastel walls. Private balconies offer a vantage point over pine trees. In room nice-to-haves include air-conditioning, satellite TVs and hairdryers. Make your way downstairs and the various food options include a buffet and an à la carte pool snack bar boasting an open-air terrace and a top spot to take in the sunset.

The hotel is also just moments from the beach. The extensive pines that line the hillside add an alpine-fresh vibe to proceedings, while reed parasols and a paved terrace compensate for the rocky shoreline and lack of sand. Elsewhere, for a little bit of culture, take the leisurely stroll into historical Porec. This Roman town has its own cathedral that’s well worth a visit – before having a wander round the local shops, bars and restaurants.
