Stunning pools and views at a lively Novigrad beach hotel - includes breakfast and dinner
  • Adriatic beach bliss: In a prime seafront location close to the centre of Novigrad, Aminess Laguna Hotel is the ideal base for a Croatian coastal getaway. Set amid lush gardens walking-distance from a gorgeous pebbled beach, this sleek modern hotel has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Unwind under a parasol by the sparkling waters of the Adriatic, or head to the Punto Mare Fun & Beach Zone to splash about in the tidal pool.

  • Istrian flavours: Start each day with a delicious breakfast at the hotel's Buffet Restaurant, and return in the evening for a rich selection of local and international fare, tantalising desserts themed dinners. Elsewhere, savour à la carte Istrian eats at the nearby Aminess Maestral Hotel's  Oliveto, or saunter straight from the beach to La Gradela for succulent steaks and seafood hot off the grill. Stick around the Punto Mare Fun & Beach Zone for comfort food classics, and hit the Lobby Bar for all-day drinks, snacks, and live entertainment come evening.

  • Downtime with a view: Whether you're one for active holidays or all-out R&R, the Adriatic has plenty to please. Paddle away on a kayak or slice across the waves on a thrilling jetski ride, or head inland on a scenic cycling route to discover Istria's dazzling natural landscape. Sporty types can take advantage of nearby football, tennis and padel courts, or make the most of nearby Aminess Maestral Hotel's indoor pool and Technogym fitness centre.

Location and what's nearby

Terre 4, 52466 Novigrad, Croatia

Crowning the Istria peninsula on Croatia's northwestern coast, Novigrad is a sun-baked haven by the Adriatic Sea. Try optional activities such as windsurfing, parasailing and kayaking, or cool off with unashamed splashing, chutes and flumes at the Aquapark Istralandia just eight minutes' drive away. 

Get exploring along the peninsula's extensive network of walking and cycling routes, or take a deep-dive into the area's rich history - must-sees included the UNESCO-listed 6th-century Euphrasian Basilica at Poreč, about 25 minutes down the coast, and the Roman amphitheatre in Pula a further 45 minutes away. Don't miss the chance to sample the area's agrotourism - a good place to start is the picturesque hilltop village of Motovun, which is half an hour inland.
