Valamar, a leading Croatian hospitality group, is embarking on a significant expansion with the development of two new all-inclusive luxury resorts. These projects represent the largest investment in the company’s history, setting a new standard for upscale family-oriented experiences on the Adriatic coast.
The Arba Resort: A Modernised Island Oasis
Situated on the picturesque Kalifront peninsula on the island of Rab, The Arba Resort, Valamar Collection, is slated for completion this year. This five-star property emerges from a comprehensive renovation of the existing Hotel Eva, promising a contemporary and luxurious experience.
The resort will feature 208 stylishly appointed accommodations, including spacious family suites and a dedicated “family residence” offering 22 thoughtfully designed rooms. Guests can expect a rejuvenating spa experience, featuring saunas, invigorating treatments, and tranquil relaxation areas.
A centrepiece of The Arba Resort will undoubtedly be its impressive pool complex. Boasting both indoor and outdoor options, the aquatic playground will delight guests of all ages with thrilling water slides, cascading waterfalls, and invigorating water jets.
Families will find a wealth of entertainment options, including a dedicated Maro Club for children aged three to 12, a vibrant games lounge, and a daily schedule of engaging activities. The resort is also poised for future growth, with plans to expand in 2026, adding 60 additional accommodations to further enhance the guest experience.
The Pical Resort: A Coastal Haven for All
Opening in 2026, The Pical Resort, Valamar Collection, will be a landmark development located within walking distance of the charming old town of Poreč. This five-star resort caters to a diverse clientele, welcoming families, couples, and solo travellers alike.
The resort will comprise 513 elegantly appointed accommodations, thoughtfully divided into three distinct areas: Pical Suites, Pical Hotel, and a dedicated family wing, all offering breathtaking sea views.
Guests can expect a world-class beach experience at Pinea Beach, a themed area featuring a vibrant beach club. The resort will also boast a network of inviting indoor and outdoor pools, including a captivating infinity pool.
A culinary journey awaits with nine diverse restaurants and nine stylish bars. A scenic coastal promenade will provide a vibrant hub for a range of sports and entertainment activities.
Elevating the Guest Experience
The Pical Resort will prioritise personalised experiences for all guests. The renowned Maro holiday programme will offer a wealth of engaging activities for families, including creative workshops, exciting outdoor adventures, and interactive games lounges.
For those seeking an elevated level of service, the exclusive V Level option will provide a range of exclusive benefits, including private check-ins and access to premium areas such as dedicated V Level pools.
The resort will also feature a state-of-the-art Poreč Convention Centre, capable of accommodating up to 1,200 guests, making it an ideal venue for meetings, conferences, and special events.
A Commitment to Active Living
