mirable destination such is Rovinj.
Polo is game that is cherished worldwide and during all its history and after 2500 years from its beginning, it is still sport
that is bond to chivalry, nobility and deep respect as no other team sport. Rovinj Beach polo cup organising committee

3. Hotel Lone is a unique design hotel in Croatia which represents a de-
sign-focused synergy of functionality, harmony and elegance. Featuring
an impeccable blend of luxury, beauty, style and cultural heritage, the
5 star boutique hotel is a year-round leisure and business destination.
The interior decoration embodies the basic aesthetic values of this bou-
tique hotel, with simple lines and functionality merging with the appeal
of the surroundings. The playful arrangement of mirrors, glass walls and
indoor areas, visually extending towards spacious terraces, is present in
all of the rooms and suites. Wood, stone elements and fabrics dominate
the interior, providing a pleasant dim-out effect contrasted by black and
white walls and wallpaper décor. The furnishings have been designed
and tailored to the Lone hotel exclusively by a Croatian studio specialized
in product design called Numen Group. This hotel and its surroundings
will present the nucleus of 1st Rovinj Polo event that will embrace all of
you, our dear polo friends and be your home during this brief but unfor-
gettable stay.
On the magnificent coast of Istria (Croatia), right below the Lim Fjord,
is the most romantic place in the Mediterranean! The town of Rovinj is
the right destination for all of you seeking a sentimental atmosphere
of the times that have forever gone by. In the Mediterranean, you can
find it here, in the town that has begun its romantic life on an island, its
restricted area resulting in crowded houses, narrow streets and small
squares, still untouched by modern urbanism. The town is dominated
by the baroque St. Euphemia’s Church, its 60-meter tower providing a
view of grey and red rooftops and chimneys, streets and squares, the
port and pier with ships and boats, and the marina harboring yachts.
Romantic and mysterious, yet full of options for an unforgettable time,
Rovinj has become and will remain a town you will want to experience
again.
