Accommodation options

Spacious pitches in the shade of pine, mulberry and olive trees are close to the beach or swimming pool. All are connected to electricity and water, some to drainage, and range in size from 70 to 150 m2. There are also camping areas for tents with electricity.

The mobile homes are arranged in two themed villages for families, couples and groups of friends: Hilltop Green Village and Marine Village. The first is built to sustainable building standards and has energy efficient appliances. The second is decorated in a marine style and is also fully equipped. All the mobile homes in the campsite have one or two bedrooms, a kitchen, one or two bathrooms and a covered terrace.

Four modern sanitary facilities close to the pitches offer all standard amenities plus toilets for children and the disabled, a baby changing room and a laundry and dishwashing area.

Beaches, pools and waterpark

Rab is known as a happy island, and this is undoubtedly due to its beaches. The one in the campsite is 250 metres long, with a combination of fine pebbles and sand, which is particularly popular with families. Easy access, crystal-clear waters and plenty of facilities guarantee a carefree summer holiday. Sun loungers and umbrellas are available on the beach for a small fee, while showers and changing cubicles are free. There is a dog beach next to the campsite.

The campsite has a 100 m2 heated outdoor relaxation pool with a sunbathing area, showers and changing cubicles, as well as a children’s waterpark with a heated pool, water attractions and slides.

Restaurants, bars and shops

Andrea is an à la carte restaurant serving local specialities and fine wines, while for a quick bite there is a fast-food outlet and the Mezzino snack bar. Ice cream lovers will enjoy Sweet Corner and there is a beach bar and several restaurants near the campsite.

The Piazza, the campsite’s central square, has a range of shops selling everything from souvenirs and local produce to beach items. There is a fruit shop and a bakery, and the campsite also has a well-stocked supermarket.

Sports and entertainment

Padova offers a wide range of sports for adults and children. Table tennis and the Stay Fit programme, which includes aqua aerobics, outdoor activities, group or individual exercise, yoga, stretching, and sports tournaments, are available free of charge. Guests can rent bicycles, beach canoes, pedal boats and water scooters for an additional fee. Water sports, a diving school, banana rides and kayak hire are available near the campsite.

The children’s programme is designed to keep them entertained and in touch with their peers. It includes a variety of outdoor and indoor activities in the mini club and on the playground. There are also evening programmes to entertain you after a day on the beach.

What to do and see on the island of Rab?

Wander the cobbled streets of the medieval town of Rab, with its charming architecture and colourful restaurants and bars. Among the summer events, don’t miss the Rab Fair, when the town goes back in time to the 14th century, with town residents and participants dressed in period costumes.

Did you know that a quarter of the island Rab is covered with thick forest? We suggest you discover the magic of the park forest of Komrčar, ideal for picnics and walks, or the Premužić trail on the green Kalifront peninsula. If you are feeling adventurous, you can check out the cycling, walking and hiking trails of Kalifront. These will take you to beautiful rocky and sandy beaches surrounded by the turquoise sea.

And of course, you cannot leave Rab without tasting Rab cake. This tender almond delicacy is native to the island and has a long history dating back to the 12th century!
