Isabella Island Villas
Five-star island resort with pools, spa and dining
About this hotel
Water surrounds this five-star resort on three sides, a short boat crossing from Poreč's old harbour reaching the property a minute's walk from the landing itself. The scale sets it apart from its island neighbours: multiple pools, several restaurants and bars, and a full spa wing spread across the grounds rather than a single central building. Free breakfast is included, and free parking waits on the mainland side of the crossing for guests arriving by car. This is a resort built for a longer stay, with enough dining and pool variety to fill several days without repetition, and enough pine-covered grounds beyond the buildings themselves to make the island feel larger than its short boat ride suggests. It commands the highest rate of any property in Poreč, reflecting both its scale and its position on the water.

Our take
Isabella Island Villas is the five-star seasonal option on Sveti Nikola island off Poreč, a minute's walk from the boat landing, with several restaurants and bars, multiple pools, a spa wing and beach access on the island itself. Free breakfast and free parking on the mainland side are included, and a 9.6 score from 543 reviews is excellent. I would book it for couples wanting island calm at a higher level. It opens seasonally, and town evenings depend on the boat.
- ✓Plan at least three nights to make the most of the multiple restaurants and pools spread across the grounds.
- ✓Confirm the boat crossing schedule against any old-town dinner plans, since the last transfer runs earlier than town hours.
- ✓Book a spa treatment early in your stay, since slots fill quickly given the resort's scale and popularity.

Why guests love itThe scale is what separates this from its island neighbour: more restaurants, more pools and a fuller spa wing spread across grounds that make the short boat crossing feel like arriving somewhere apart from the mainland. It's built for a longer stay, several days rather than a quick overnight, with enough variety in dining and pool choice to avoid repetition. The rate reflects that scale, the highest in Poreč, and the trade is the same for every guest: real separation for planning mainland trips around a boat.
