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.

    Our stay at Istra Premium Camping Resort in summer 2025 impressed us so much that we booked again right away for 2026. After many family vacations on Mallorca and in different parts of Croatia, this resort stands out as our clear favorite. The entire resort is excellently maintained and consistently clean. Younger children spent many hours at the water park, while older kids made full use of the wide range of sports activities such as soccer, volleyball, and mini golf. The beach is beautiful, with crystal clear water and a relaxed atmosphere. A true highlight is the evening program with varied shows, along with the bars offering a great vibe and good drinks. You feel safe, welcome, and well taken care of at all times. An ideal place for families to slow down together and enjoy quality time.

    What a bad 5 star campground! Mega big too gutter that will be the reason Unfriendly staff In many places shine spotlight in your caravan or camper (at the port, and sports fields zwz) A lot of noise pollution from festivals/parties on the other side of the water that reverberates over the water to the campsite so loud, nothing is done about it goes on until 1 am Food and drink high prices / expensive Washing 10.00 Even sunbeds you have to rent for the main price Swimming pool is large but very unsociable ! Slides are another part with a fence! Toilet buildings are spacious and really clean But not accessible for mobility scooter or wheelchair ( nowhere ) Supervision staff is playing on his or her phone more than control / supervision This for the price of 159.00 per night We have fled There are many better and cheaper campsites in the surroundings Even in high season there is a place

Mega groot te goot dat zal de reden zijn Onvriendelijk personeel Op veel plekken schijnen spot in je caravan of camper ( bij de haven, en sportvelden zwz) Heel veel geluid overlast van festivals/ feesten aan de overkant van het water dat galmt over het water naar de camping zo hard, er wordt niets aan gedaan gaat door tot 1 uur Eten drinken hoge prijzen/ duur Wassen 10,00 Zelfs ligbedjes moet je huren voor de hoofdprijs Zwembad is groot maar zeer ongezellig ! Glijbanen zijn een ander deel met een hek! Toilet gebouwen zijn ruim en echt schoon Maar niet toegankelijk voor scootmobiel of rolstoel ( nergens ) Toezicht personeel is meer op zijn of haar telefoon aan het spelen dan controle / toezicht Dit voor de prijs van 159,00 per nacht Wij zij weg gevlucht Er zijn vele betere en voordeliger camping in de omgeven Ook in het hoogseizoen is er wel een plekje

    We spent a few very relaxing days here and felt very comfortable overall. Our bungalow was modernly furnished, clean and practically equipped, just right for our stay. The resort is close to the sea, so you can reach it in a short time. We particularly liked the several swimming pools with slides, which we used regularly and which are also ideal for children. It was also very pleasant that you can eat well and at fair prices directly in the complex. All in all, a pleasant stay that we will remember fondly.

    Wir haben hier ein paar sehr entspannte Tage verbracht und uns insgesamt wohlgefühlt. Unser Bungalow war modern eingerichtet, sauber und praktisch ausgestattet, genau richtig für unseren Aufenthalt. Die Anlage liegt nahe am Meer, sodass man dieses in kurzer Zeit erreicht. Besonders gefallen haben uns die mehreren Schwimmbäder mit Rutschen, die wir regelmäßig genutzt haben und die auch für Kinder ideal sind. Sehr angenehm war außerdem, dass man direkt in der Anlage gut und zu fairen Preisen essen kann. Insgesamt ein angenehmer Aufenthalt, den wir positiv in Erinnerung behalten.
