A family haven on the emerald shores of Rab island
Cradled between the fragrant forest and emerald Adriatic, Arba Resort, Valamar Collection, is a family sanctuary where luxurious comforts elevate Rab island’s scenic beauty.
Designed for families seeking connection, it showcases contemporary rooms and exclusive V Level suites, six pools and endless opportunities for adventure beneath the oak canopy.
Hidden on the verdant Capo Fronte peninsula, just five kilometers from the storybook streets of Rab Town, Arba Resort sits where forests meet the sea. The island’s striking contrasts of emerald waters, sun-kissed sands, rugged stone and oak groves come alive, weaving a landscape ripe with discovery. Meander along ancient forest paths under the canopy of the Dundo, trace the echoes of Roman ruins, ascend the island’s highest peak and plunge into the crystalline waters of the Côte Smaragdine. Arba is a family sanctuary where nature and history harmoniously coexist, inviting you to immerse yourself in its natural rhythm.
Ambiance
The faces of the island alive in every detail
Arba Resort embodies the four faces of Rab – sea, sand, stone and forest – and each element plays into the resort’s design and atmosphere. Every floor tells a different story of the island’s thriving natural world, from the deep-green hues of the Adriatic to the soft tones of island stone, while colourful artworks capture Rab’s ever-changing light. Contemporary rooms and elegant V Level family suites invite guests of all ages to find their corner of comfort. Farm-to-table Mediterranean dining, pool bars and a patisserie enhance each family moment, while every space within the resort echoes the island’s feel-good flow.
