Hotel Molindrio Plava Laguna
Two pools and a spa in the resort belt
About this hotel
Two separate outdoor pools distinguish this four-star property from most of its resort-belt neighbours, which typically run a single deck, alongside a spa and fitness centre for a fuller wellness offering. Roughly seven minutes by taxi from the Euphrasian Basilica, near OX Steaks, Grill & Burgers, the hotel sits well within the Plava Laguna stretch rather than near the old town. Laid-back rooms pair with a restaurant and two bars for dining and evenings without leaving the grounds, and beach access rounds out a stay built around resort-style variety. Free breakfast starts the day, and full-service laundry suits longer visits. This is an upscale but not overly formal resort-belt stay, aimed at travellers wanting pool variety and wellness facilities without the top-tier luxury pricing of the island properties.

Our take
Hotel Molindrio Plava Laguna is a four-star resort-belt hotel roughly seven minutes by taxi from the Euphrasian Basilica, with two outdoor pools, a spa, a fitness centre and beach access, rated 8.8 from 2,592 reviews. Free breakfast is included and parking is paid, with OX Steaks, Grill & Burgers nearby for an evening out. I would choose it for a pool-focused stay with the old town a short ride away rather than a walk.
- ✓Use the two separate pools to your advantage, one tends to run quieter than the other during peak hours.
- ✓Try OX Steaks, Grill & Burgers nearby for a change of pace from the hotel's own restaurant and bars.
- ✓Book a spa slot early in your stay, since the fitness centre and spa both see heavy use in summer.

Why guests love itThe two-pool setup is the clearest signal of this property's resort-belt ambitions, more variety than most of its four-star neighbours manage with a single deck, backed by a spa and fitness centre for a fuller wellness stay. It runs roughly seven minutes by taxi from the Euphrasian Basilica, firmly in the Plava Laguna stretch rather than old-town adjacent. The two bars and restaurant keep evenings on-site simple, and the beach access rounds out a stay that offers real resort variety without reaching island luxury pricing.
