Galijot Plava Laguna - Villa, Village and Apartments
Cottage-style rooms on the beach, pool included
About this hotel
The beach sits directly against this property, roughly eight minutes by taxi from the Euphrasian Basilica and well inside the Plava Laguna resort belt's pine-shaded stretch of coast. Cottages and village-style rooms spread across the grounds rather than stacking into a single tower, giving families more separation between rooms than a standard hotel floor allows. An outdoor pool sits alongside the beach frontage, a useful freshwater option when the pebble coves get crowded in peak season, and the casual restaurant and bar keep meals simple rather than elaborate. Free parking suits travellers arriving by car from the old town or further afield, and pet-friendly rooms mean the beach walk works for dogs too, not just families with children in tow.

Our take
Galijot Plava Laguna - Villa, Village and Apartments is a four-star seafront property in the Plava Laguna resort belt, roughly eight minutes by taxi from the Euphrasian Basilica, with cottage and village-style rooms, an outdoor pool and direct beach access. Free parking, free Wi-Fi and pet-friendly rooms make it easy for families arriving by car. An 8.8 score from 1,884 reviews backs it. I would choose a cottage here for a casual family beach week.
- ✓Bring water shoes for the beach here, since the coastline runs pebble rather than sand like most of the resort belt.
- ✓Book a cottage rather than a standard room if travelling with a larger family group needing more separate space.
- ✓Budget for a taxi if planning old-town dinners, since the Euphrasian Basilica sits roughly eight minutes away by car.

Why guests love itWhat this property offers is straightforward: cottages spread across grounds that open onto the beach, with a pool for the days the sea feels too crowded. It reads as a holiday village more than a hotel, useful for families or groups wanting to spread out rather than share a single floor. The trade-off for that space and the direct beach access is distance from the old town, a taxi ride each way rather than a walk, and a shorter list of on-site dining than the larger resort-belt hotels nearby offer.
