If you like to stay active during your holiday, the Stay Fit programme offers a great choice of activities, including yoga, stretching, aqua aerobics and various sports tournaments. Fancy exploring the area? Hire a bike and set off to discover the island at your own pace. In the evening, themed nights with live music and delicious specialities create a warm and lively atmosphere.A wide range of dining options
Food lovers are well catered for here. On the central square, Piazza, you’ll find a bakery, a shop for everyday essentials and a Sweet Corner serving ice cream and coffee. In the evening, head to the à la carte restaurant Andrea to sample Croatian specialities and excellent wines. If you’re in the mood for a relaxed lunch or a quick bite, the Mezzino Snack Bar by the pool offers a varied menu including burgers, salads and fish dishes.A charming island to explore
Rab Island boasts beautiful surroundings with plenty of walking and cycling trails through scenic landscapes. The historic town of Rab, just 2 kilometres from the campsite, is well worth a visit.
