And that on 110 m ² and 24/7.

 Wellness

There are various beaches and pools . We think it's good that these, as well as the various hotel areas, are somewhat separated from each other depending on their orientation. There is a family beach and a relaxation beach, some with sand and/or gravel. The same applies to the various pools, which are intended either for families, especially for kids or especially for adults. The outdoor infinity pool for adults with a view of the sea is particularly great.

The spa area can be used free of charge, with the exception of family guests, and offers a Finnish sauna, an infrared sauna and a beautifully located jacuzzi with loungers on which you can enjoy the view of the sea and the distance. Massages, facials and body treatments of all kinds can be booked for a fee

 Catering

The type of catering in the resort is very flexible. For example, you can book yourself in the adults only area with breakfast only and take advantage of the dine-around concept. Or you can book yourself with an all-inclusive package so that you are well catered for all day long. The various restaurants are also available to specific groups of guests. There are mostly buffet restaurants offering local and international specialties. But there is also an Italian restaurant, a steakhouse and a craft beer & grill restaurant to choose from. So everyone can find exactly the type of catering they want on their holiday.

Various bars at the pool, beach or in the hotel areas invite you to enjoy a cocktail, coffee or a cool drink throughout the day or in the evening. There are also two beach clubs where DJ performances and concerts take place regularly.

This is the perfect way to end a day of tennis.

 Vicinity

You can walk along the beautiful little beach promenade to the town of Rabac . For a trip to the beautiful Istrian city of Pula (almost 50 km) you will definitely need a rental car.

The tennis hotel Girandella Valamar Collection Resort was tested and recommended by Markus:
"It's great when you so cleverly separate the areas for adults and families in a resort. This was ideal, especially for our tennis group, as we had families with us, but also adults who were looking for peace and quiet. The tennis courts are a stone's throw from the hotel and are in great condition and wonderfully located. The training is well organized. We will definitely come back as a group, but also as a family. Simply a great spot for a tennis holiday by the sea with a good price-performance ratio."
