Apartments by the Beach with Pool and Lounge Beds - Miral Apartments

Miral Apartments is an aparthotel on the waterfront in Supetarska Draga, built for days that can run at your own speed. You have a kitchen when you want to keep things simple, a pool and beach area when you want to stop moving, and a balcony or terrace for the essential business of drying off in the sun.

English is spoken by the hotel team, alongside Croatian, German, Italian and Spanish. That makes the practical conversations straightforward, whether you are sorting out breakfast, asking for local advice or explaining that the day’s salt has reached places where it had no business being.

The feel is more self-contained apartment stay than formal hotel routine. Families are welcome, but the setting also suits couples who would rather have room to make coffee, sit outside and decide whether the evening requires dinner out or simply something from the fridge.

You are in Supetarska Draga, Croatia, at Supetarska Draga 345 in the Gonar area of Rab. The property sits directly beside the sea, with direct access to its beach area and a pool looking across Gonar Bay. Veli Mel Beach is about 0.2 miles away on foot, while Dumići Beach is around 0.6 miles away.

The immediate surroundings give you a few useful options without turning the stay into a daily transport exercise. Gonar restaurant is roughly 0.5 miles away, as is Pivac, and Premijer is about 0.8 miles away. Supetarska Draga Beach is around 0.7 miles away by road.

For a wider outing, Kaštelina is 1 mile from the property. Rijeka Airport is 38 miles away by road, with the journey taking around two and a half hours by car. This is an island location, so the final approach is part of the travel day rather than a quick hop from the terminal.

The useful distinction here is not a long list of categories but how much living space you want around your diving days. The smaller apartments suit a couple or a compact three-person stay, while the larger apartments give you more room to spread out, particularly when two bedrooms and a garden outlook matter more than looking directly over the bay.

If the view is part of the reason for booking, choose an Apartment with Sea View. If you are travelling as a group or want separate sleeping space, the Two-Bedroom Apartment with Garden View is the more practical choice. Family rooms are available, and children of any age are welcome; cots can be requested for younger children, while extra beds are not available.

Every apartment has air conditioning, a private bathroom, a kitchen and either a balcony or terrace. The kitchen includes a dining table, stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, coffee machine, toaster and kitchenware. That means chilled water when you come back tired, a proper place to eat and the option of keeping the evening inexpensive and uncomplicated. WiFi is free throughout the property, and a flat-screen TV is there for the nights when your legs have had enough.

Breakfast covers continental, Italian, vegetarian and gluten-free choices, with local specialities, fresh pastries and juices served in the dining area. Breakfast can also be taken in your apartment, which is handy when an early start has left you more interested in coffee than conversation.

There is one named bar: the Pool Bar. Its drinks list centres on cocktails, smoothies, juices and wine, with refreshments served in the lounge bar as well. It is the sort of arrangement that lets you move from the water to a shaded seat without putting on anything more demanding than sandals.

The food style is Mediterranean, with fresh, organic, vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free and gluten-free options available. Your apartment kitchen adds flexibility rather than replacing the local table: use it for breakfast, a quick lunch or supplies from the fridge, then walk out for dinner when cooking feels like an unreasonable post-dive activity.

The main recovery station is the outdoor pool overlooking Gonar Bay. Around it, you have a sun terrace, loungers, beach chairs and umbrellas. The property also has direct beach access, with sun loungers, parasols and tables, so you can choose between the pool and the water without making an expedition of it.

When you still have some energy left, the activities extend beyond swimming. Snorkelling, kayaking, fishing and boat excursions are available, along with more energetic options such as jet skiing, parasailing, wakeboarding, waterskiing, banana rides and ring rides. The choice is broad enough for a day off diving, although not every option will appeal to anyone whose knees have already negotiated a full week underwater.

On land, you can use the fitness room, play badminton, cycle, walk or join a cultural excursion. Boat trips, visits to an old olive plantation and buggy driving are among the outings available. An outdoor play area and children’s playground give younger guests their own diversion, while evening entertainment and movie nights provide a low-effort way to fill the evening.

Free private parking is available on site, with no reservation needed, making the property workable for a self-drive arrival. A concierge service and a 24-hour front desk are available, and the apartments have free WiFi throughout. Visa, Mastercard and cash are accepted.

Check-in starts at 3 pm and check-out is by 10 am. There is no minimum age requirement for check-in. Parties and events are not allowed, which keeps the tone suited to a proper night’s rest rather than a late one.

The apartment format is worth keeping in mind when you plan your days. You have a refrigerator, cooking equipment and a dining table rather than a standard hotel room with nowhere to put a sandwich. Laundry is available as a service, and children’s meals can be arranged. The direct waterfront position also means that a swim, a shaded drink or a quiet spell beside the bay is always close at hand.
