A 15-minute boat ride from town, the Island Hotel Istra Rovinj is tranquility in itself. Occupying its own island, this complex of pools and tennis courts features a vast wellness centre divided into zones. The one for face and body treatments contains a stand-up solarium and a Queen’s Bath with hydro-massage jets, aromatherapy and scented candles. There, massages use Mediterranean herbs, with a heavenly blend of aromas also filling the Finnish saunas in the Zen Spa Zone. You can book a personal trainer in the Active Spa Zone, with its heated pool and Mediterranean Garden for post-treatment relaxation.
