Nature, cycling and outdoor discovery

The region surrounding the resort is a paradise for outdoor families. Explore scenic cycling routes through pine forests and olive groves, or follow the gentle Parenzana Trail, a former railway turned into a family-friendly walking and biking path connecting picturesque Istrian villages. Nearby Lim Fjord Nature Reserve offers kayaking, hiking, and stunning viewpoints above turquoise waters. Whether you choose a morning ride, a picnic in the shade, or a boat tour through the fjord, this area blends active fun with the peace of unspoiled Mediterranean nature.

History, culture and hidden villages

Families who love culture will enjoy wandering through Poreč’s UNESCO-listed Old Town, with its narrow streets, Roman ruins and the Euphrasian Basilica. A little inland, the hilltop villages of Motovun and Grožnjan showcase Istria’s artistic soul — cobblestone alleys, artisan shops, and charming cafés overlooking vineyards. Markets brim with local honey, truffles and olive oil, making it easy to experience authentic Istrian life. It’s a gentle mix of discovery and relaxation that families of all ages will remember long after the holiday ends.

Excursions and island experiences

Set sail from nearby marinas and discover Istria from the sea. Families can enjoy a glass-bottom boat ride, take a day trip to Rovinj, or join a sunset cruise to spot playful dolphins. For a touch of adventure, the Brijuni National Park islands—reachable by boat from Fažana—offer nature trails, a safari park, and archaeological sites perfect for young explorers. Back on land, evening markets and summer festivals fill nearby villages with music, crafts, and local food, creating the perfect blend of excitement and easygoing coastal charm.

    Wow, wow, and wow!

    A gorgeous resort with so much to offer.
    The location and the resort’s amenities are simply top-notch.
    We stayed in the Bella Vista home (2 adults and 2 children) and were just 200–300 m from the water. In the backyard, we had the area where everything happened—the plaza, ice cream, the restaurant, the pools, the stage for entertainment with live music, and the kids’ disco.
    Our children, ages 7 and 10, were allowed to walk around on their own, participate in various activities at the kids’ club, and watch movies at the theater.
    Through their app, we could see what the day had in store and plan our day accordingly (kids’ activities, the gym, yoga, water activities, etc.).

    However, it’s worth mentioning that the food at the resort is a bit too expensive, and we highly recommend restaurants outside the resort area, which offer delicious food at more reasonable prices.

    Wow, wow og wow!

    Lækkert resort med meget at byde på.
    Især beliggenhed og resortet s udvalg er bare i top.
    Vi boede i Bella Vista hjem (2voksne og 2 børn) og havde 200-300 m med til vandet. I baghaven have vi pladsen, hvor det hele skete - pladsen, is, restaurent, pools, scenen til underholdning med live musik og børnedisko.
    Vores børn på 7 og 10 år fik lov til at gå rundt selv og til at lave divsere i børneklub og se film i biografen.
    Via deres app kunne vi se, hvad dagen byder på og kunne planlægge dag derudfra (børneaktiviteter, gym, yoga, vandaktiviteter osv.)

    Dog er det værd at nævne, at prisen for maden i resortet er lige lidt for dyrt og der kan klart anbefales restaurenter udenfor området, som har meget lækkert mad til mere fair priser at byde på.

    We were right on the beach—a perfect spot, but the prices for both the campsite and groceries are absolutely outrageous.
    A 0.33 bottle of water at the kiosk costs €3.80—three croissants and three rolls cost €16.80 at the bakery. Personally, I think that’s an absolute outrage and a rip-off. So, overall, I’m giving it only 3 stars.

    Wir standen in der ersten Reihe zum Meer - perfekter Stellplatz, aber die Preise sowohl für den Platz als auch für Lebensmittel sind absolut unverschämt.
    Eine 0,33 Wasserflasche am Kiosk 3,8€ - drei Croissants + 3 Brötchen 16,80€ bei der Bäckerei. Finde ich persönlich eine absolute Frechheit und abzocke. Daher insgesamt nur 3 Sterne von mir.

    A nice campsite for families with children, offering plenty of attractions and activities. However, because of that, there are also a lot of people, and for campers without children it may feel very crowded and noisy.

    A major disappointment is the nighttime noise, which continues until the early morning hours due to nearby festivals and events. The noise is very loud, making it difficult for children to get a good night’s sleep.
