Istrian Villas Description

4-Star Family Villas in Umag, Istria

Set in a unique seaside setting within Stella Maris Resort, the villas are part of a vibrant destination where everything is close at hand — from beaches and pools to restaurants, cafés, sports and entertainment. The car-free surroundings make it easy to leave the keys behind and move freely between the villa, the sea and the many experiences around you.

Istrian Villas combine contemporary comfort with the timeless charm of Istria, creating a refined setting for an effortless family escape. Designed for up to six guests, the villas feature stylish interiors, modern technology and inviting terraces that extend the living space into the open air — perfect for slow mornings, relaxed afternoons and long summer evenings together.

Here, every day can take a different shape. Swim in the Adriatic, choose your favorite beach, enjoy a leisurely lunch inspired by the flavors of Istria, or spend the afternoon by the pool. Children have the freedom to play, explore and discover, while parents can slow down, unwind and enjoy more time together.

There is also a lively side to Stella Maris. Throughout the summer, the resort comes alive with major sporting, music, gourmet and family events. It is home to the Plava Laguna Croatia Open Umag, Croatia’s renowned ATP tennis tournament, bringing world-class tennis and an unmistakable summer atmosphere to the destination.

More freedom for the kids, more time for you, and the very best of Istria — all right at your doorstep.
