Soak up the beautiful sights and sounds of the Istrian Peninsula at Palazzo Rainis. Taking inspiration from the timeless style of the Italian villa- this luxury beachside retreat has it all; elegant interiors- outdoor pool and spa- and easy access to the historic town of Novigrad. Plus- it is only a hop- skip and a jump from Rainis beach- where you can swim- play or while the hours away on a sun lounger. Inside- the minimalist rooms make the most of the bright light- with balconies for taking in the sea air. The chic decor continues in the Chemistry restaurant and Potions bar- where Croatian flavours and wines come courtesy of local ingredients and suppliers. Spend your days relaxing by the pool- or book a massage treatment for added indulgence. If you want to venture further afield- just ask about hiring bicycles or an electric car to explore the glittering coast. With its fusion of Slavic and Mediterranean influences- Istria is a real feast for the senses. Charming fishing towns with bright red roofs- like Porec and Rovinj- perch above the blue sea. Bustling markets sell everything from fresh seafood and prosciutto to locally made beers and cheese. Dive a little deeper with wine tastings and truffle hunting tours. And if you want a truly spectacular finish to your stay at Palazzo Rainis- see the sparkling coast from aboard a private yacht. Palazzo Rainis Hotel and Spa is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
