Pical Resort, Valamar Collection: Hotel in Istria, Croatia

A destination between the sea, pine forests, and historic heritage

Nestled within the Pical coastal park, the resort enjoys a privileged location between the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea and the historic center of Poreč. This former Roman town, home to the UNESCO-listed Euphrasian Basilica, can be reached on foot via a scenic waterfront promenade. Surrounded by Mediterranean pine forests and landscaped gardens, the resort offers a peaceful setting immersed in nature.

Designed as a true destination resort, Pical Resort is composed of three distinct properties: Pical Hotel, Pical Suites, and the exclusive V Level accommodations, together offering 514 rooms and suites. Each property has its own identity while sharing the resort’s extensive facilities and services, welcoming couples, families, and travelers seeking a more exclusive experience.

The contemporary architecture is defined by clean horizontal lines, expansive terraces, and floor-to-ceiling windows that blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. Natural stone, generous glazing, and green roofs allow the buildings to blend harmoniously into the surrounding landscape. Sustainability is at the heart of the project, with solar energy production, 100% renewable electricity, green roofs, and an on-site food waste composting system.

The 514 rooms and suites showcase a contemporary design inspired by the landscapes of Istria. Interiors combine light wood, natural stone, textured linen and cotton fabrics, and a calming palette of sand, cream, sage green, and Adriatic blue. Contemporary furnishings emphasize comfort without distracting from the spectacular sea and garden views. The exclusive V Level accommodations offer larger suites, separate living areas, panoramic terraces, and personalized services designed for guests seeking an elevated luxury experience.

Dining is one of the resort’s defining features, with 11 restaurants, 9 bars, and a beach club. Parenzana offers a fine dining experience created in collaboration with Michelin-starred chefs, while More celebrates the flavors of the Adriatic Sea through fresh local seafood. Quattro Terre reimagines the buffet concept with Mediterranean and Istrian cuisine, while rooftop lounges, champagne bars, and seaside terraces create vibrant spaces from sunrise through late evening.

Wellness is equally impressive thanks to ESPA at Pical Wellness & Spa, the first ESPA spa in Croatia. Guests enjoy 11 indoor and outdoor swimming pools, three beaches, thermal experiences, personalized treatments, and relaxation areas overlooking the Adriatic. Families benefit from more than 86,000 square feet of dedicated leisure facilities, including kids’ clubs, PlayLand, sports academies, tennis courts, cycling facilities, and a wide range of water activities.

With its contemporary architecture, beautifully designed accommodations, exceptional culinary program, and strong commitment to sustainability, Pical Resort, Valamar Collection establishes itself as one of the Adriatic’s most exciting luxury destinations. It is a place where wellness, nature, gastronomy, and Croatian hospitality come together in perfect harmony.
