Park Plaza Histria

This waterside resort hotel lies on Verudela Peninsula, 4km (6 1/2 miles) south of Pula’s old town. Fully renovated in 2012, the light and airy guest rooms have a smart, minimalist look, with whitewashed walls and olive green details. The sea-view balconies are a nice additional touch. A fine choice for families, facilities here include a kids’ club, in addition to an outdoor pool, a wellness center with sauna, massage, and a large indoor seawater pool, and a coastline dotted with pebble and rock beaches complete with sunbeds. Dining options include a surprisingly good buffet restaurant, plus a rustic tavern serving local seafood specialties overlooking the bay.
