Valamar Parentino Hotel
Private beach and four bars, spa included
About this hotel
Four separate bars and a private beach area set this four-star property apart from most of Poreč's resort-belt hotels, which typically run a single pool bar rather than a full beach-club circuit. The spa and outdoor pool sit alongside that private beach, giving guests a choice between the livelier bar-service pace and a quieter pool-deck afternoon depending on the day. Roughly eight minutes by taxi from Aquapark Aquacolors, near Restoran Hrast, the property sits well within the resort belt rather than near the old town. Golf access and an airport shuttle round out the amenities list, and full-service laundry suits longer stays. This is Poreč's clearest beach-club-style property, built around organised beachside activity rather than a quiet cove.

Our take
Valamar Parentino Hotel is a four-star beach-club-style stay in the Plava Laguna resort belt, roughly eight minutes by taxi from Aquapark Aquacolors, with a private beach area, four bars, a spa and an outdoor pool. Free breakfast and an airport shuttle are included, and a 9.4 score from 2,983 reviews is among the strongest in the Poreč resort area. I would choose it for couples or friends who want a lively beach setting with a spa.
- ✓Reserve loungers on the private beach area in advance during July and August, when demand runs highest.
- ✓Balance beach-club time with the spa if travelling with a mixed group wanting both energy and calm.
- ✓Book the airport shuttle ahead of arrival, since Pula Airport transfers otherwise mean arranging a taxi.

Why guests love itThe four bars and private beach area are what set this apart from its resort-belt neighbours, a genuinely livelier, more organised beachside stay than the typical single-pool-bar setup found elsewhere along the coast. The spa gives a quieter option when the beach-club pace isn't what the day calls for, and the outdoor pool adds a third register beyond the beach and the bars. Travellers who want quiet should look elsewhere in Poreč; this property leans fully into energy and organised beachside activity as its core identity.
