Overview

 
Sitting right on the Adriatic seafront, Hotel Umag Plava Laguna combines classic seaside-holiday ease with a modern spa, bright rooms and a great line-up of sports and children’s facilities. Families love the splash park, kids’ club and gentle pools, while couples can retreat to the wellness centre, stroll the coastal promenade or wander into Umag’s historic old town for sunset dinners by the marina.

Wake up to Adriatic sea views, wander straight out to the waterfront promenade, then choose between the spa, splash park, pools or a gentle walk into Umag’s terracotta-topped old town. Hotel Umag Plava Laguna feels purpose-built for relaxed, outdoorsy holidays on Croatia’s Istrian coast. For couples and families seeking Croatia’s Istrian charm without sacrificing resort-style comfort, Hotel Umag Plava Laguna delivers the balance: seafront setting, a full-service spa, splash park and kids’ club, plus easy access to Umag’s historic centre.

Map & location


Umag, Pula and Istrian Coast, Croatia

Hotel Umag Plava Laguna sits right on the waterfront, a short walk from rocky bathing spots and paved sunbathing platforms that typify this stretch of the Adriatic. A coastal path links you with neighbouring hotels and beach bars, while the cobbled old town of Umag, with its burnt-orange roofs and Venetian-era streets, lies a couple of kilometres away.

This is a lovely base for exploring northern Istria – from boat trips to offshore islands to inland hilltop villages and vineyards. Back at the hotel, you’re tucked away in a quieter seafront pocket but still within easy reach of cafés and restaurants.

  • Seafront on the promenade
  • bars and restaurants 1km
  • Umag resort centre / old town 2km
  • Tourist train stop to Umag nearby (operates seasonally; local charge)
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour 30 minutes from Pula (PUY).

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Families are very well catered for around the water.

• Two outdoor freshwater pools, including two separate children’s pools, with surrounding sunbathing terraces, sunbeds and parasols (typically open mid‑May to mid‑September).

• Splash park with tipping water bucket, water guns and shallow play features (normally 01 June – 01 September, 10:00–19:00; age/height restrictions may apply).
