Valamar Club Dubrovnik

Valamar is the brand behind some of the best resorts in Croatia, and as you’ll see from this list each one of its hotels has something that makes it special.

Other accommodation options include apartments and family suites, ensuring there’s something for holidaymakers of any preference. What’s more, the gigantic Maro Play Zone is, at almost 2km², enough to make this one of the best resorts in Croatiafor children and families.

Valamar Zagreb

Don’t be fooled by the name – this four-star hotel is actually located in the lovely seaside resort of Poreč, with its atmospheric Old Town and pebble beaches. The real attraction here is its closeness to the countryside, where guests can indulge in a variety of activities including bike and walking tours of historic sites. Children are well looked after and well occupied at the excellent Maro Club, and adults who prefer to stay at the resort can enjoy some much-needed ‘me time’ in the wellness centre. Activities for the whole family, meanwhile, include mini-golf, tennis, and much more.
