Alana Beach Club, Paklenica
Alana Beach Club sits between the turquoise Adriatic and the dramatic peaks of Paklenica National Park. A local landmark, its central tower rises above the pines and gardens, home to a rooftop cocktail bar with sweeping sea views and unforgettable sunsets. Set on the northern Dalmatian coast between two traditional villages, with mountains behind and the Adriatic ahead, this is Croatia at its finest.

Kids' clubs
from 4 months to 17 years
There’s plenty to keep younger guests happy too, with activity-packed clubs for ages two to 17, plus the Starfish crèche for little ones aged four to 23 months (available for a supplement). From beach games and water sports to evening fun with new holiday friends, it’s the kind of holiday they’ll still be talking about on the flight home. We’d recommend pre-booking before you travel to secure a place in your chosen club.
If you’re travelling with babies or toddlers, things are made wonderfully easy with handy extras including cots, pushchairs and baby baths available on request.

Paklenica National Park
Just 2km from the Beach Club, Paklenica National Park is one of Croatia's natural highlights. Join a guided bike ride to the park entrance, explore its network of signposted trails, or seek out hidden waterfalls and freshwater pools along the way. For a bigger dose of adventure, book a rock-climbing session through reception, with expert instruction and all equipment included. However you choose to explore it, Paklenica's dramatic landscapes are guaranteed to take your breath away.
National parks
The agency based at reception will help you arrange excursions. There are days out to Krka National Park to see the seven interlinked waterfalls, Plitvice Lakes is another must-see with 16 lakes connected by 92 waterfalls - it is quite spectacular! You can also join a kayak safari to the Zrmanja River, which is considered to be one of the most beautiful rivers in Europe.
Walled port of Zadar
Slightly further away, the beautiful, walled port of Zadar is a 45-minute drive away and well worth a visit. Take a walk around the historic centre, where Roman ruins stand alongside Venetian-inspired churches. This is a great place to visit on our non-inclusive nights with some wonderful restaurants scattered around the marina and in the old town.
Local town of Starigrad
The traditional fishing village of Starigrad is only a short stroll away along a peaceful seafront promenade. It’s relaxed and easy-going, with a handful of restaurants, overlooking the water. It's popular with the local residents too, so you get a real taste of their way of life.
