Valamar Bellevue Resort, Rabac, Istrian Riviera, Croatia

This stylish, modern all-inclusive resort lies 150 metres from a beach in a quaint former fishing village on the Istrian Riviera in northern Croatia and around an hour's drive from Pula airport. The wellbeing platform overlooking the sea is the perfect spot for pilates or aerobics, while three pebble beaches (one solely for families) and the resort centre are just a short walk away. Beach volleyball and a diving centre are major draws.

The Valamar Bellevue (formerly TUI Blue Bellevue) is ideal for families with a range of children's ages. There's a baby pool and a splash pool, a kids' club plus a teen hangout where older ones can make new friends and play games. There's also a game lounge with games consoles and the Maro Smart Play area, offering interactive fun for all ages.

This is a great choice for large families, with rooms and suites sleeping up to six. Some options have swim-up access. A choice of buffet and à la carte restaurants means you can vary where and how you dine, with child-friendly dishes available.
