A special feature of Port 9 Resort is Marko Polo Kids – an animation programme for children focusing on discovering Korčula through learning, creative activities and sport.

This organised programme enables children to have fun and explore the island, while the parents relax and enjoy.

Kids activities include such things as learning about the history of Korčula via creative workshops focusing on skills and crafts perfected by the ancient inhabitants of the island like shipbuilding and stone carving.

The resort, which was designed by leading Croatian architect Duje Kaliterna, is set to open its doors in June 2017.
