Pula is a natural fit for weekends for two. Walks along the Lungomare, evening views of the Arena, seaside restaurants and a relaxed atmosphere create the impression of a city where the days unfold at a slightly slower, Mediterranean pace. That is why more and more couples choose Pula for a short getaway throughout the year, whether they come for an anniversary, a spontaneous weekend or simply a few days of rest for two.
The Timeless Romance package is designed for couples who want to spend a few days at a completely different pace. A private SPA ritual, dinner at the Monsapori restaurant and peaceful mornings in the hotel's ambience create an experience in which privacy, ease and the atmosphere of the stay are just as important as the contents of the package itself.
For couples looking for a romantic weekend in Istria with a touch of elegance, peace and a fine gastronomic experience, Timeless Romance offers a stay in which wellness, gastronomy and the hotel's atmosphere naturally come together into a few days of complete rest for two.
Timeless Romance — a package designed for true slowing down
From the moment you arrive at Hotel Monumenti, the focus is not on a schedule, but on the atmosphere of the stay, privacy and the time you will spend together.
Set within a restored heritage building that still carries the character of its history, the hotel combines the architecture of the past with contemporary comfort and the calm elegance of its spaces. The view of the sea, high ceilings, interior details and the blend of the heritage and deluxe wings of the hotel create an ambience that feels completely different from a classic hotel stay.
The central part of the experience is reserved for the Private Spa Room for two — an intimate wellness space designed for complete peace and privacy. During the three-hour SPA ritual, you have at your disposal a Finnish sauna, a jacuzzi and an experience shower that combines light, scents and water for complete relaxation of the senses. The warmth of the sauna, the hydromassage bath and the calm of the wellness zone create a sense of seclusion from the rhythm of the city outside, turning wellness into a space of real respite.
After the wellness, the evening continues at the Monsapori restaurant with a three-course dinner for two paired with Capo wines. The restaurant, located by the sea, bases its offer on seasonal produce, contemporary interpretations of Mediterranean and Istrian cuisine and an atmosphere that remains elegant yet unpretentious.
Mornings at Hotel Monumenti follow an equally peaceful tempo. Breakfast served in your room, coffee with a view of the sea, a morning swim or a short walk along the coast are all part of an experience that makes a romantic weekend in Istria here feel completely different from a classic city break.
Along with the private wellness ritual, dinner and in-room breakfast, the package also includes access to the indoor and outdoor pools, the SPA zone with saunas and a relaxation area, the gym studio and additional wellness benefits that make the entire stay even more relaxing.
Monsapori restaurant: a dinner that becomes a memory
Dinner at the Monsapori restaurant is not conceived as a classic hotel meal, but as part of the overall experience of staying at Hotel Monumenti. Located by the sea, with a view that changes from late afternoon to the evening lights of the Pula bay, the restaurant follows the same rhythm that defines the entire romantic weekend in Istria: relaxed, elegant and unhurried.
The name Monsapori combines Monumenti and the Italian word sapori, meaning flavours, which aptly describes the concept of a restaurant where gastronomy is not separated from the space and the atmosphere. The interior remains calm and understated, and the focus is on the experience of the table, conversation and dishes that combine a contemporary approach with the familiar flavours of Istria and the Mediterranean.
The Timeless Romance package includes a three-course dinner for two, carefully paired with Capo wines. The menu is based on seasonal produce and local ingredients, from fresh fish and seafood to Istrian pasta, truffles and contemporary interpretations of classic Mediterranean dishes.
The kitchen is led by chef Franko Mocko with the support of chef Patrik Prnjak, while the desserts bear the signature of pastry chef Neven Jadreško, so the whole experience maintains a balance between fine dining and a warmth that keeps the dinner from feeling formal or pretentious. It is precisely this combination that makes Monsapori a place that is easy to remember even beyond the stay at the hotel.
For guests choosing a romantic hotel in Pula, a dinner like this naturally becomes one of the moments that define the entire stay — with a glass of wine, a view of the sea and an atmosphere that invites the evening to last a little longer.
A morning without hurry — what a romantic morning at Monumenti looks like
The light coming in through the large glass surfaces, the scent of coffee and the view of the sea create a completely different tempo from the one we are used to in everyday life. It is precisely in these small moments that a romantic weekend in Istria takes on its most relaxed form.
Breakfast served in your room is part of an experience that leaves space for a peaceful morning without going down to the restaurant or facing the hotel bustle. A Mediterranean, continental or healthy breakfast is served in the privacy of your room, with freshly prepared ingredients, coffee and a slow start to the day that naturally deepens the feeling of relaxation.
After breakfast, the day continues by the pool, in the wellness zone or with a short walk by the sea. The indoor heated pool, jacuzzi, saunas and relaxation zone create the atmosphere of a quiet wellness retreat, while during the warmer months the outdoor pool opens up a view of the marina and the Pula bay.
A special part of the morning rhythm at Hotel Monumenti comes from the hotel's surroundings. The pebble beach and sunbathing area in front of the hotel offer a view of the Brijuni archipelago, the Polesana marina and a calm cove that gives the whole area a sense of seclusion from the city.
For guests who want to explore the surroundings further, the morning can easily end with a leisurely walk along the coast or a short trip towards Brijuni, located just a few kilometres from the hotel. It is precisely this combination of wellness, sea and a slower Mediterranean rhythm that makes a romantic hotel in Pula like Hotel Monumenti feel not like a classic hotel, but like a place created for a true escape from everyday life.
Pula as a backdrop for romance — what to visit in two days
One of the advantages of staying at Hotel Monumenti is a location that allows you to experience completely different sides of Pula in just a few days — from the historic centre and Roman landmarks to coastal promenades, hidden coves and trips to Brijuni. It is precisely this combination of city, sea and a slower Mediterranean rhythm that makes a romantic weekend in Istria rich in experiences without any sense of rush.
On the first day, it is almost impossible to miss the Arena, the symbol of Pula and one of the most impressive Roman structures on the Mediterranean. It is especially beautiful in the late afternoon hours, when the entire space takes on a completely different atmosphere than during the day. A walk through the old town afterwards naturally leads to the Forum, the Arch of the Sergii and the narrow streets of the centre, lined with small galleries, wine bars and city terraces.
For a more relaxed part of the day, the Lungomare and Verudela are excellent choices — seaside promenades that pass through pine trees, hidden coves and viewpoints over the open sea. The route from Valkane across Gortan's Cove all the way to Soline beach is one of the most beautiful for an easy evening walk by the sea. Nearby is also Hawaii beach, known for its turquoise sea and quieter stretches of coast, as well as Verudela with sunset views that are among the most beautiful in Pula.
If you want to spend part of the day outside the city, Cape Kamenjak is an excellent choice for a short trip. The rocky coastline, small coves and open views of the sea offer a completely different experience of Istria, especially outside the main season.
The second day is ideal for a trip to Brijuni. The national park is just a few kilometres from the hotel, and the boat ride from Fažana turns the whole excursion into a gentle escape from the city atmosphere. Walks by the sea, cycling along the island paths and the calmer rhythm of the islands fit perfectly into the atmosphere that a romantic weekend in Istria calls for.
If you want to end the day without much planning, one of the most beautiful moments is often the sunset in our Secret Garden or along the hotel's shoreline, with a view of the Polesana marina and the Brijuni archipelago. At that time of day, the entire hotel takes on an especially peaceful atmosphere, which naturally turns the return to a romantic hotel in Pula into the most beautiful part of the evening.
