Holidays in Portoroz

An introduction to Portoroz

Stroll past the flower beds in one of the parks in Portoroz and you'll see why they call it the ' Port of Roses'. Even down near the superb sandy beach, the floral theme continues on the bloom-decked promenade. However, Portoroz is about much more than roses and geraniums. For starters it's one of the world's most popular health spa resorts, where you can pamper yourself with everything from thalasotherapy to Thai massage. In fact, it's got the largest Thai massage and beauty centre outside of Thailand. And if its medieval neighbour Piran is the ancient heart of Slovenia's Adriatic Coast, Portoroz is its modern soul, with all the facilities that today's holidaymakers could wish for. Water and land based sports. Harbourside cafes and restaurants. And an exciting nightlife scene, too. In true Cote d'Azur style you can even try your hand in the Grand Casino. Opened in 1913 it boasts no less than 41 gaming tables - throw down a chip or two and see if lady luck sits on your shoulder. Add to this a wonderfully warm climate and you have the perfect spot to enjoy some quality R&R. There's also a fair collection of sightseeing attractions in the area. The Secovlje salt pans, once so important to the local economy, have become a haven for wildlife and a great place to ramble. It's not far to Lipica, the home of the famous 'dancing' Lipizzaner stallions. Then there's the impressive caves at Postojna. And don't forget, the amazing water-logged city of Venice is just two hours away by hydrofoil. Decisions, decisions.
