Residence Garden Istra are 4 star rooms and suites for families in Umag, Croatia. If you have kids, start at the waterpark, as soon as you arrive. Adults can take their time, but kids can't wait when on holiday. Splash at the shallow pool, enjoy the waterslides. Dry in the sun, repeat. Guests can stay in rooms and suites equipped with new furniture and a modern, airy interior design. Rooms are family-friendly and were designed with both comfort and functionality in mind so that every guest can enjoy a well-deserved rest.
All guests at the Residence Garden Istra have at their disposal the amenities of the main hotel building, such as wellness and fitness centre, indoor pool, restaurants and activities for children and adults. Enjoy! Walk to the beach. Listen to the sea. Smell the salt in the air. Get on a bike and go exploring the countryside - or just nip into town. Follow our Activities & Experiences Team for games, sports, workshops and shows. All right in front of your cozy, bright and comfortable room or family apartment. Umag is an evening stroll away. If you feel like it, play some tennis. We recommend the early morning or late evening, as the summer days are too hot and ideal for sun and the sea - or the pool.
Residence Garden Istra Plava Laguna has 198 rooms on 4 floors with an elevator. All rooms are air-conditioned and come with a bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, a free W-Fi connection, a satellite TV, a direct dial telephone and a safe.
