Hotel Plavi Plava Laguna
Buzzy beach-sports stay with villa-style rooms
About this hotel
A livelier register defines this three-star property, casual villa-style rooms and an outdoor pool paired with beach sports rather than a quiet garden setting or a spa wing. Roughly eight minutes by taxi from the Euphrasian Basilica, it sits near Villa Romana Beach Lounge Bar & Restaurant, useful for evenings that don't require a full taxi ride back into the old town. Informal dining covers meals on-site, and free breakfast starts the day before beach sports or pool time. This is a property pitched at groups and families wanting activity over quiet relaxation, closer in energy to the beach club further along the coast than to the understated heritage hotels in the old town. Rooms lean casual rather than styled, consistent with the three-star category throughout.

Our take
Hotel Plavi Plava Laguna is a three-star resort-belt hotel roughly eight minutes by taxi from the Euphrasian Basilica, with an outdoor pool, beach sports and villa-style rooms, rated 8.2 from 2,088 reviews. Free breakfast and free Wi-Fi are included, parking is paid, and Villa Romana Beach Lounge Bar & Restaurant is nearby. The atmosphere is lively and informal, so I would book it for active families and groups rather than for a quiet couples' break.
- ✓Try the beach sports on offer here, the property leans into activity more than most of its quieter resort-belt neighbours.
- ✓Walk to Villa Romana Beach Lounge Bar & Restaurant for an evening out without booking a taxi into town.
- ✓Book a villa-style room for extra space if travelling with a larger group or family unit.

Why guests love itThis property picks a lane and commits to it: beach sports, a lively pool deck and villa-style rooms built for groups rather than a quiet couples' retreat. The energy here runs higher than most of the Plava Laguna belt's other three-star properties, closer to an active family holiday than a restful one. Villa Romana Beach Lounge Bar & Restaurant nearby extends the evening without needing a taxi, and the casual dining on-site keeps things simple. Travellers wanting quiet should look elsewhere; this is built for activity first.
