Umag Holidays

Umag

Right, if you want a proper fun-filled Croatian holiday that won't break the bank, Umag's absolutely your ticket! This lively resort town on Istria's northwest coast is basically Croatia's tennis capital - it hosts the prestigious Croatia Open every year, so you know it's got that sporting energy and excellent facilities that make for brilliant, active, family holidays.

Tennis, beaches, and brilliant value

Umag's got a fantastic buzz about it - it's big enough to have proper amenities, great beaches, and decent nightlife, but not so massive that you feel lost in the crowds. The tennis courts are world-class (you might catch some future Wimbledon champions practising!) The beaches are perfect for families with shallow, safe waters, and the resort hotels offer excellent value compared to some of Istria's pricier destinations. Plus, the kids will love the various sports facilities and beach activities (if you can prise them away from their screens).

Perfect location for exploring

The brilliant thing about Umag is its location - you're literally minutes from both Slovenia and Italy! Fancy a day trip to Venice? Sorted. Want to explore the Slovenian coast? Easy. The town itself has a charming old quarter with Venetian architecture, plenty of restaurants serving fresh seafood at reasonable prices, and enough bars and clubs to keep the evening entertaining. It's basically the perfect base for active families and groups who want good value, great facilities, and the flexibility to explore the whole region without the premium prices of the more touristy spots! 🎾🌊
