Hotel Makin
A pool and sauna 300 metres from Pineta Beach
About this hotel
Hotel Makin pairs an outdoor pool with sauna facilities, giving guests two distinct ways to unwind beyond the beach itself, which sits just 300 metres away at Pineta Beach. Rooms are decorated in light tones with a seating area and private bathroom with shower, satellite TV throughout, and a safety box available at reception for valuables. The restaurant terrace covers daily dining without needing to leave the property. For a family or couple who want a short walk to the beach plus a genuine sauna option for cooler evenings, Makin's combination of pool, sauna and Pineta Beach proximity stands out among the area's simpler hotels. The safety box at reception also proves useful for families cycling between the beach and the hotel who would rather not carry valuables along the short coastal walk each day.

Our take
This suits travelers wanting both pool and sauna access alongside a short walk to a named beach, useful for balancing an Istralandia day against a beach or pool day without much planning. It suits fewer travelers seeking a resort-scale property, since Makin operates at a smaller, more straightforward scale. Use the sauna in the evening after an Istralandia day, and walk to Pineta Beach for a lower-effort alternative on quieter days.
- ✓Use the sauna in the evening after an Istralandia day, when the recovery benefit matters most.
- ✓Walk the 300 metres to Pineta Beach for a lower-effort alternative to a full pool day.
- ✓Store valuables in the reception safety box rather than leaving them in the room during day trips.

Why guests love itThe sauna at Hotel Makin became a genuine ritual after our Istralandia day, a proper wind-down that a plain pool alone would not have given us. Pineta Beach was close enough to reach on foot for a lower-key alternative on the days we did not feel like driving anywhere. It is a modest hotel rather than a grand one, and the combination of pool, sauna and nearby beach covered everything our trip actually needed.
