Valamar Tamaris Residence****

Exceptionally positioned on the green and peaceful peninsula of Lanterna, the Valamar Tamaris Residence features a series of beautiful apartments in one or two-storey Mediterranean villas. Inside, the luxurious dwellings are modern and welcoming; outside, the shimmering Adriatic and picturesque beaches are just a pebbles’ throw away. Just a little further still lie the enchanting towns of Novigrad and Poreč. Wake up to the peace and quiet of verdant greenery framed through picture windows. Then step outside onto the spacious balcony or terrace, breathe in pure pine-scented air and enjoy the remarkable views over verdant Mediterranean parkland or the sparkling Bay of Tar. After working up an appetite with a swim in the pool or the sea, the show-cooking restaurant at the Valamar Club Tamaris next door will satisfy your hunger with a delectable buffet of Mediterranean and international specialties. Alternatively, we can arrange for haute cuisine from the Valeta restaurant to be enjoyed in the privacy and peace of your terrace or balcony. Or for a true taste of country cooking, try the traditional tavern with Istrian dishes prepared the old-fashioned way. But it’s not just fine dining which makes the Valamar Tamaris Residence such a jewel for a family holiday. These gorgeous villas are set in a green oasis of peace and quiet ensuring complete relaxation and a real sense of natural wellbeing. But don’t think that means there’s nothing to do. Plenty of activities are on hand next door to fill the time between those moments of quiet contemplation. Young guests can make use of the playground, children’s pool, mini disco and daily ice-cream parties in the mini club Maro. And while they play, you can relax with a programme of pampering at the wellness or beauty centres. Suitably refreshed, just a 10-minute ride away, the buzzing parks and squares of historic Poreč come alive with the sound of live music throughout the summer. Discover cobbled streets and ancient treasures and finish a day of cultural adventure by strolling along the pretty seaside promenade as the setting sun turns the sky into a glory of fiery red.
