Beachclub in Croatia

Starigrad Paklenica is a bustling little town surrounded by rocky shoreline, pebble beaches, old villages, mountain canyons and peaks and green forests. With stunning views of Paklenica National Park and the Adriatic from the roof top ‘Sky Bar’ Neilson’s Alana Beachclub is in a beautiful spot and perfect for keen climbers, hikers, bikers and sailors of course. Not to mention families with kids of all ages (including teenagers!)

The local village of Starigrad is relaxed and easy going, with a handful of restaurants, overlooking the water. It's popular with the locals too, so you get a real taste of their way of life. The gateway to the Paklenica National Park is just two kilometres from the beach club and the park is an absolute must-see either on foot or by mountain bike. There are several challenging hiking trails, and climbing is also very popular here. For those who like things a little more laid-back, there are more gentle walks available too, with just as much to explore.

Located in the north western part of Dalmatia, the beautiful, walled port of Zadar is a thirty-minute drive away and well worth a visit. We took a walk around the historic centre, where Roman ruins stand alongside Venetian style churches and we ate calamari out of bread baskets whilst strolling along the waterfront to watch the sun set whilst listening to the famous sea organ.

There was the usual choice of sailing and windsurfing clinics and along with water skiing, kayaking and paddle boarding there was plenty to do on the water. On dry land there were fitness classes, tennis and cycling to keep you busy and The Spa provided a calm and relaxing retreat from the hustle and bustle of the resort or simply a chill out from all the daily activities.

Great food, lovely staff and good fun.

Another fabulous stay at this contemporary Neilson resort!
