BO hotel Palazzo
A genuine seafront spa stay minutes from the old town
About this hotel
The sea sits directly against the property here, an unusually short six-minute walk from the Euphrasian Basilica for a hotel with real beachfront frontage, most of Poreč's other seafront stays sitting well outside the old town instead. The outdoor pool and hot tub back onto the coastline, and the spa area gives the stay a wellness focus most old-town-adjacent hotels can't match. Restaurant Sveti Nikola sits two minutes away for an evening out without a taxi. Rooms lean refined rather than resort-casual, and the four-star build includes golf access, an airport shuttle and full-service laundry for longer stays. This is the rare Poreč booking that pairs genuine sea frontage with old-town proximity in one address.

Our take
BO hotel Palazzo is a four-star seafront hotel six minutes' walk from the Euphrasian Basilica, with an outdoor pool, a hot tub and a spa area along the coastline, rated 8.8 from 705 reviews. An elegant restaurant, a bar and room service mean dinner can stay on site. Breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking cost extra, which I would factor in when comparing. I would choose it for a pool by the sea within walking distance of the old town.
- ✓Book a spa treatment slot early in the stay, since demand runs high through the summer season here.
- ✓Walk to the old town for dinner at least once, the Euphrasian Basilica sits just six minutes away.
- ✓Ask for a sea-facing room at booking, since the seafront position doesn't guarantee every room has the view.

Why guests love itWhat stands out here is how rarely a Poreč hotel manages both a genuine sea frontage and a six-minute walk to the basilica in the same booking. Staying here means mornings by the pool or the hot tub and evenings a short stroll into the old town for dinner, without a taxi ride either way. The spa area rewards a slower pace, and the golf access rounds out a stay aimed at travellers who want polish alongside the coastline, quieter than the larger family resorts further south.
