Map & location


Umag, Pula and Istrian Coast, Croatia

Hotel Sipar Plava Laguna sits right on Umag’s seafront promenade, framed by pine trees and the clear Adriatic. The pretty old town, with its burnt‑orange roofs, churches and narrow streets, is just over a mile away, easily reached on foot, by bike or via the tourist train that trundles along the coast in season.

The surrounding Istrian Riviera blends pebble and rocky coves with laid-back beach bars, local konobas (taverns) and vineyard-dotted countryside, so you can mix lazy days by the water with tasting your way through Croatia’s excellent olive oil and wine scene.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The focus here is outdoor living, with the Adriatic never far from view.

Outdoor Saltwater Pool
A generous sea-facing saltwater pool takes centre stage, edged by a sunbathing terrace with loungers and parasols (typically available mid-June to late September). It’s a relaxed spot for reading, cooling off and watching boats drift along the bay. Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit.

Children’s Splash Park
Little ones have their own splash park, complete with tipping water bucket, water guns and shallow water play features (usually open June–September, with set hours). It’s ideal for younger children who prefer paddling and play to deeper swimming.

Beachfront
From the garden and pool area you’re just a few steps from the paved promenade and pebbly beach sections. This stretch of coast is classic Istria: clear water, rocky and pebble coves and swimming platforms, with beach shoes recommended for comfort. Sunloungers and umbrellas on the public beach are generally payable locally.
