As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, the brand new sandy Rab beach at the Valamar Padova hotel and the The Beat Beach Club have now been officially opened! The value of Imperial Riviera’s investment in this project in which the new Rab beach was revamped stands at more than two million euros.
With this investment, Imperial continues to invest in the development of the destination of the island of Rab as a whole and improve the quality of the tourist offer. The number of guests during the height of the summer tourist season had exceeded the beach capacities of the island of Rab, and especially the properly equipped beaches. Way back in 2012, Imperial Riviera initiated a project for the construction, expansion and improvement of the beaches in the Banjol area, which stretches from the Valamar Padova Hotel to the Padova Premium Camping Resort, according to a statement from the City of Rab’s administration.
“Today, Imperial Riviera is the fifth largest tourist company in all of Croatia, and we’re aware that in the great competition across the tourist market, we must ensure the continuity of investment in the quality of our facilities and content, including the beaches, which are an integral part of our overall offer. Imperial Riviera’s strategic commitment within the Valamar Group is to respect the concept of sustainable development in all business segments, from protecting the natural environment to supporting local culture, lifestyle and relations with the local community. This includes taking care of the arrangement and maintenance of the beaches, which are equally enjoyed by the local population as they are by tourists, and which significantly improve the touristic competitiveness of the destination,” said Vlado Mis of Imperial Riviera.
The construction and arrangement of the Rab beach in front of the Valamar Padova hotel enabled the employment of twelve new employees. The project included the filling of about 5,000 square metres of the coastal area, the construction of a breakwater, infrastructural and horticultural landscaping, a new promenade, beach facilities, a sanitary facility and equipping it with the most modern beach equipment, including canopies and sunbeds, as well as several attractions for children. With a capacity for about 700 swimmers, the new sandy Rab beach within the Valamar Padova hotel is currently the most modern and most beautifully decorated beach on the entire island.
The newly renovated beach is otherwise managed by Imperial Riviera as a concessionaire, and in addition to guests of the Valamar Padova hotel, the beach is also open to local residents and other tourists staying on the island of Rab.
