Valalta

Valalta featured in Peng Travel’s first programme in 1972. The picturesque coastline consists of two miles of rock and pebble beaches, including some romantic coves. Extensive lawns are interspersed with evergreen macchia bushes, olive trees and other Mediterranean vegetation affording welcome shade from the midday heat. Most of the 110-acre grounds are taken up by camping and caravanning with over 1,800 marked pitches.

Location

Valalta is situated on the southern side of the Limfjord on the sunny Istrian peninsula. Surrounded by fields and vineyards it is approximately 60 miles south of Trieste and the picturesque town of Rovinj is just 5 miles away.

The Beach

The clean water from the Limfjord ensures that the beach is unpolluted, so much so that it has been awarded the coveted Blue Flag. There are two big bays for swimming, with man-made sunbathing terraces. The 180-foot flume is very popular with children. Showers are available on the beach. The Copacabana and Cha-Ka-Cha beach bars are handy for refreshing drinks.

Naturism at Valalta

Valata operates as a full naturist resort. Guests can remain nude all day and night if they wish, however as is the growing practice, more people seem to be dressing in the evenings. Guests are asked to dress indoors in the restaurants, dining room and supermarkets. Outdoors nudity is permitted.
