Where to stay in Medulin if you want to feel spoiled but not bankrupt? Park Plaza Belvedere Medulin is a great choice. It’s a bit more expensive than the budget options, but the luxury you get in return is definitely worth it.
Medulin isn’t the loud, flashy resort town that grabs attention, but trust me, it’s the one that slowly works its magic on you.
Nestled by the Adriatic, it’s the kind of place that encourages you to relax, sip a cocktail, and pretend you’ve got no responsibilities back home.
So, if you’re after a peaceful getaway in Croatia, here are three hotels that might just make your stay unforgettable (or at least memorable in a good way).
Park Plaza Belvedere Medulin
Imagine stepping out of your hotel room, squinting into the sun, and realizing that the sea is right there. Just steps away. That’s exactly what you get at Park Plaza Belvedere Medulin. It’s not just a hotel; it’s your ticket to becoming one of those people who casually walk along the beach as if they’ve just stepped out of an Instagram post.
The rooms? Spacious, modern, and with sea views so good you’ll wonder if you’re on holiday or just living the dream. There’s even a pool where you can spend your days pretending you’re on some kind of exclusive holiday. Fancy a bit of action? You can toss a tennis ball around, hit the gym, or even try a game of volleyball—because why not?
But it’s the little things that make this place special, like the food. A buffet that’s more than just a scramble for the last croissant. It’s the kind of spread that makes you think, “OK, I might just have that extra slice of cake.” And when you’re not stuffing your face, the spa is there to ensure you feel like you’re worth it. It’s not cheap, but then again, you’re not exactly roughing it, are you? Click to view the images >>
Arena Hotel Holiday
Arena Hotel Holiday is the kind of place that’s perfect if you want to be close to everything, but still enjoy a quiet corner. Located just a short walk from Bijeca Beach, this hotel gets the basics right—good food, comfy rooms, and a pool that’s perfect for pretending you’re on holiday when, in reality, you’re trying to ignore your email inbox back home.
Rooms are simple but do the job: air-conditioned, flat-screen TVs, and a shower that doesn’t leave you wondering if you’ll get hot water. But the real treat is the buffet breakfast. Let me tell you, nothing beats the morning decision of whether to have eggs, pancakes, or an embarrassing amount of croissants.
If you have kids, this place has you covered too—there’s a kids’ club to keep them entertained while you sneak off to the pool. Or better yet, join them and pretend you’re still young. It’s all about balance. It’s not the cheapest option, but when you’ve got everything at your fingertips, why would you go anywhere else? Click to view the images >>
Villa Iva
If you like the idea of cooking your own meals in the comfort of your own place while still being a stone’s throw from the beach, Villa Iva is your kind of place. The apartments here are sleek, modern, and equipped with everything you need to feel like you’re living the good life. A fully stocked kitchenette, a coffee machine (because, let’s face it, mornings are a struggle), and a private balcony so you can look out at the sea without the hassle of dealing with other people’s children.
It’s the kind of place where you can cook up your own barbecue on the terrace or just laze around in the garden. If you’re the type who prefers the “home away from home” experience, but with a bit more sun and less stress, then Villa Iva might just be your paradise. The rooms are roomy enough that you can stretch out and pretend you’re on a longer holiday than you actually are. And if you’re into cycling, that’s available too. Just be careful not to overdo it and end up cycling to exhaustion. Click to view the images >>
Final Words
Let’s not beat around the bush—these aren’t the cheapest options in Medulin. But let’s be honest, when you’re looking to treat yourself, a little extra spend doesn’t hurt.
Whether you’re lounging by the beach at Arena Hotel Holiday, getting a sea view at Park Plaza Belvedere, or pretending you’re a master chef at Villa Iva, you’re in for a good time. So, go ahead, splash out a bit—it’s not every day you get to experience Medulin like this.
