Enjoy the beach and the waterpark
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 at the Residence Garden Istra have at their disposal all 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.
In 2022, Residence Garden Istra Plava Laguna underwent a complete renovation of its accommodation units, as well as the common areas in the facility. Guests can stay in rooms and suites equipped with new furniture and a modern, airy interior design. Rooms are still family-friendly and were designed with both comfort and functionality in mind so that every guest can enjoy a well-deserved rest.
CAREFREE STAY
Your safety is our priority. That is why we have placed an even greater focus on health, hygiene and social distancing and taken all the necessary steps to make you feel safe, comfortable and relaxed. We are doing our best to make sure you fully enjoy the breath-taking destinations and attractions, all from the perfectly safe accommodation of your choosing.
