Rab offers a variety of accommodation, from campgrounds on beaches to apartments and villa rentals, to chic boutique hotels, family resorts, and grand, adult-only hotels.
It's hard to imagine a more romantic setting than this harborside inn that sits in a perfectly restored medieval villa with balconies and a gorgeous garden overlooking the Rab Marina and the hills of Barbat in the distance. Rooms are decorated in warm tones and rich fabrics, and include bathrooms with fluffy bathrobes. Free breakfast is served in the restaurant's leafy garden partially enclosed by the old city walls.
A complex of five hotels stretches across the peninsula at this family-friendly resort that surrounds the famous sandy Paradise Beach. The focus here is on activities, ensuring that the kids are never at a loss for something to do—including a pet-friendly program offering services, pools, and pampering for family pets on holiday with you.
As one of Valamar's "Maro" hotels, the Padova has thought of everything regarding family-friendly vacations, including a free on-site professional babysitting service that gives parents with young children a chance to get away for a few hours. There is even a gaming center for parents with older children who can't do without their video game fix. Bikes, a ping-pong table, and a long list of sports activities and entertainment are available. The restaurant offers child-friendly meals, and the staff is eager to engage in the many special requests often required for individual families. Combine all that with modern well-appointed rooms with sea and Rab Town views, balconies, pools, spa services, a gym, and beach access and you have paradise for all.
