Aminess Maestral Hotel is on the coast of Croatia’s northern Istria region, set on a Blue Flag-awarded pebble beach.

Spend a week in Istria — a heart-shaped peninsula in northern Croatia — at a 4-star beachfront hotel, a short walk from a medieval town, with this deal.

Facilities include an outdoor pool, a kids’ pool and a gym. Wi-Fi is free. There is also a spa with an indoor pool, two whirlpools, a Turkish bath and a sauna. Meals are served in the buffet restaurant, and local wine, beer and soft drinks are included during mealtimes.

Lonely Planet calls Istria “a little slice of heaven”, thanks to its pretty historic towns, crystal-clear waters and local gastronomy — which includes fresh seafood, white truffles, and wild asparagus. The seaside town of Novigrad is 10 minutes’ walk away, and features a picturesque bell tower. Spectacular sunsets can be seen from its waterfront, which is lined with colourful houses. Porec (20 minutes’ drive away) has a historic old town, and its 6th-century Euphrasian Basilica is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This wonderful hotel is located in the tourist centre of Novigrad, lying just a short distance away from the heart of the town. Guests will find themselves just 100 metres away from the pebble beach, while a host of activities are to be enjoyed just a short distance away.

This charming hotel offers guests a prime setting, from which to explore the attractions that the area has to offer. The hotel enjoys a charming architectural design, beautifully combining elements of traditional and contemporary designs.

The guest rooms are elegantly designed, offering a peaceful setting in which to unwind at the end of the day. Guests are invited to take advantage of the wide range of leisure, recreational and dining facilities that the hotel has to offer.
