Valamar Parentino Hotel sits in a leafy bay just north of Porec, surrounded by pine and cypress trees and a string of rocky and pebble beaches. The coastal path leads you along the waterfront to cafés and beach bars, while the UNESCO‑listed basilica and cobbled lanes of Porec’s old town are a pleasant stroll or tourist-train ride away.

This Istrian spot is ideal if you want Adriatic swims by day and atmospheric, Italian‑influenced streets and eateries by night – with plenty of family‑friendly attractions, from bike routes to nearby waterparks.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Families are the focus around Valamar Parentino’s pools. There are two outdoor freshwater pools, both typically heated in spring (from late April to the end of May), with generous sunbathing terraces, sunbeds and parasols. One pool comes with colourful slides and a splash park, perfect for younger children who want safe, shallow fun in the water. Pool towels are complimentary, and inflatables are permitted in the main pool.

Beyond the gates, a short stroll brings you to a pebble beach fringed by trees, where swimming platforms, ladders and paved sunbathing areas make accessing the clear Adriatic straightforward. Do note that age, height or weight restrictions can apply to the splash area, and beach footwear is recommended for pebbles and rocks.
