Meet Foki

Foki is not just an ordinary plush dolphin.

He is a real marine resident of the Bay of Piran and a well-known member of the local dolphin community. If you ever spot dolphins jumping out of the sea, there is a good chance Foki is among them – especially if you notice a strong body and a dorsal fin covered in scars. These scars tell the story of his lively youth, playful encounters with other dolphins, and later, more serious “battles” for the tastiest fish or the attention of a dolphin companion.

Foki is energetic, loves to show his strength, and is known for jumping the highest and most often. He weighs around 230 kilograms and is hard to miss when he appears. To stay in shape, he needs to eat at least 4 kilograms of fish every day – otherwise, he can get quite grumpy.

Morigenos Society

Caring for the sea and the environment we live in is more than just a promise to us. Dolphins like Foki are important indicators of the health of the sea. Their presence tells us that the marine ecosystem is alive and valuable.

That is why we actively support the work of the Morigenos Society, which contributes to the long-term protection of dolphins and their habitat through research, education, and awareness-raising.
You can also visit their Dolphin Centre and learn more about dolphins, the sea, and the importance of protecting it.

Sustainability

We also live sustainability through small but thoughtful steps. Foki’s plush toy is made from 100% recycled materials, meaning less environmental impact and more responsible use of resources. Through it, we aim to introduce the importance of caring for nature in a warm and accessible way – especially to our youngest guests.

As part of the Green Key project, we work every day in our hotels to reduce our environmental impact, promote responsible behaviour, and preserve natural heritage, which we see as a privilege rather than something to be taken for granted. With each such choice, we help create a more sustainable future – for Foki, for the sea, and for generations to come.
