July saw the official opening of Umag’s new tourist
pearl – the Garden Istra resort, into whose construction over
30 million Euros have been invested over the past few years.
Umag now has its fourth tourist complex boasting a four star
standard of quality.
This hotel complex stretches across 60 thousand square
metres and has 500 accommodation units; of which about
300 are in the hotel itself and a further 200 in three separate
buildings. All of the buildings are connected by vaulted
gardens that lead the guest to an Istrian Village from whose
entertainment and catering facilities a view shoots out over
the water park.
Garden Istra is being promoted on the market as a sport &
family resort with numerous recreation facilities for all ages.
Besides a water park and indoor pool, a wellness centre with
saunas, massage parlours and fitness room, guests are offered
the possibility of playing numerous sports – there are
soccer, handball and basketball courts, a horseback riding
centre, 14 outdoor and two indoor tennis courts and a tennis
school, water sports, mini golf, beach volleyball and badminton
courts, table tennis, and a trim track. All of this is located
in the Sport Art centre where animation programs are
organised daily for children and adults along with thematic
entertainment for the whole family.
There is a diverse gastro offer with three different restaurants
in the resort –Istrian, Mediterranean and international.
The hotel will be open year-round so that, besides a tourist
offer, it also caters to business guests.
The basic characteristic of this resort lies not only in a quality
offer but also in an exceptionally attractive appearance
where, through fragments of architecture and traditional construction
materials – stone and wood, a real Istrian atmosphere
dominates.
