Pical Resort 5* Valamar Collection - Pical Suites

If you love your holidays with a side of sea views, family fun, and the kind of food that makes you want to Instagram your dinner, this Poreč resort is the one. Right on the Adriatic and a quick taxi-ride from Poreč’s gorgeous old town, it nails that balance of laid-back beach break and let’s-do-everything energy. Think rooftop cocktails one minute, beach volleyball the next, followed by a sunset stroll along the seafront promenade.

For families, it’s a total crowd-pleaser. Little ones will go wild for the Maro kids' club's soft play zones, climbing nets, ball pits, and treasure hunts, while teens can dive into gaming tournaments, mocktail-making sessions, and evening cinema nights. Sports-mad kids? There’s beach volleyball, cycling tours, table tennis, and tournaments galore. And here’s a tip – guests get access to PlayLand, a giant off-site family park crammed with multi-level play areas, trampolines, slides, and climbing nets. It’s the kind of place where you’ll lose hours, and the kids will still refuse to leave.

Grown ups aren’t side-lined either. Morning yoga by the sea? Tick. Nordic walks through the resort and into town? Absolutely. And if your idea of a workout involves lifting a cold drink to your lips, the resort’s rooftop bar is spot on for sundowners, with knockout Adriatic views. There’s also a spa and gym on hand if you want to balance out the holiday indulgence with a stretch or a sweat.
