The coastline here is impressive, the water is crystal clear, there are stunning beaches and, perhaps due to its proximity to Italy, the area has become rather well known for its gastronomy. Foodies will be in heaven with award winning wines, wild asparagus, pungent truffles and fresh seafood amongst some of the delicious delights on offer.
The beaches are beautiful and varied and you will find both family-friendly bays with shallow, calm waters, to dramatic surf with exciting water sports scattered along the coast. We have properties set in the countryside with romantic views and peaceful surroundings, to sea view stunners where every window is filled with sapphire blue from the ocean vistas. With its historical charm, beautiful bays and sparkling seas, it is no wonder people are returning to Istria year after year.

But it doesn’t end there – Istria is also full of fun and interesting things to do, from the sensational Baredine Cave, the ancient Pula Arena, the dazzling Brijuni Islands, scrumptious Mediterranean seafood in waterfront restaurants in Rovinj, and more.
