Welcome to Istria, the birthplace of Croatian tourism. The heart-shaped peninsula in northwest Croatia will provide you with an unforgettable experience as the Adriatic's most impressive region. There's a reason why Istria promotes its one-of-a-kind Mediterranean experiences under the slogan "The Mediterranean as it once was".
And, indeed, Istria is a place rich in tradition, authentic experiences, out-of-this-world gastronomy, a stunning coastline with crystal clear sea and the scent of the sea, historical Mediterranean towns, and picturesque fairytale towns perched on peaks surrounded by greenery, olive groves, and vineyards.
Whatever it is about Istria Croatia that inspires your next trip — whether it’s the rolling countryside, charming coastal towns or the region’s celebrated food and wine scene — finding the right place to stay is the perfect place to start. From elegant countryside retreats surrounded by vineyards to stylish coastal villas near Rovinj and Poreč, our carefully selected luxury villas in Istria Croatia offer comfortable and private accommodation for families, couples and groups looking to discover one of Croatia’s most loved regions.
Coastal towns such as Rovinj, with its colourful old town and harbour views, and Poreč, home to the UNESCO-listed Euphrasian Basilica, offer beautiful historic centres, seaside promenades, and excellent restaurants. Novigrad is known for its relaxed atmosphere and gourmet dining, while inland towns like Motovun and Grožnjan provide stunning hilltop views and a strong artistic tradition.
Istria is also one of the most celebrated culinary regions in Croatia. Visitors come here for white truffles, locally produced olive oils, and wines such as Malvasia and Teran. Many travellers staying in luxury villas in Istria enjoy experiences such as truffle hunting in oak forests, wine tastings at family-run vineyards, or cooking classes with local chefs.
Outdoor activities are just as popular. Guests can explore scenic cycling routes through vineyards, walk along the coastline, visit Roman landmarks such as the Pula Arena, or spend the day swimming in the clear Adriatic Sea.
Accommodation in luxury villas in Istria Croatia provides the perfect base for exploring the region. Some travellers choose secluded villas in Istria for maximum privacy, while others prefer private villas in Istria close to historic towns, allowing them to combine relaxation with cultural discovery. Larger groups often look for villas in Istria for large groups, while couples may prefer romantic countryside retreats surrounded by vineyards and olive groves.

For years, Istria has been the champion of Croatian tourism, and it has become a brand of high-quality vacationing in the Mediterranean. It's an excellent choice for a truly relaxing vacation away from crowds and daily life. Whether you prefer exquisite fine dining, culture and history, outdoor activities, untouched nature, or relaxation and spa treatments, Croatia's most famous region has it all!
Imagine walking through the old town of Bale and admiring the locals' simple, but still classic, way of life, or exploring the colourful, tiny streets of Rovinj while listening to the sea waves in the background. Visit Hum, the world's smallest town.
Travel south and spend time in nature by visiting the stunning Brijuni National Park's beautiful archipelago of islands. Visit Pula, one of the region's most popular towns and home to one of the world's largest remaining Roman amphitheatres, and admire the stunning Basilica of Euphrasius, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Or simply enjoy the panoramic view of the Adriatic Sea while sipping a coffee and soaking up the rays in Opatija.
But, let's face it, the most important aspect of a vacation is the food (apart from sightseeing and admiring the historical towns, of course...)
Explore the gastronomic phenomenon known as Istria:
- Take a wine tour at one of Istria's best wineries, such as Kozlović, Stancija Meneghetti, or Kabola, and enjoy a sip (or two, we're not here to judge) of high-quality wines!
- Taste the best olive oil - For the fifth year in a row, Istria has been named the best olive oil region in the world.
- Go truffle hunting to discover the true and local meaning of this endearing Croatian treasure. PS: Did you know the largest white truffle discovered weighed 1.31 kg and was discovered near Buje?
- Take a bite of one of Istrian cuisine's true status symbols: Asparagus, prosciutto, and cheese
When visiting Istria, keep the following information in mind:
- The peninsula is best explored by car; public transportation is not developed enough to visit all the tourist attractions nearby. Rijeka is the closest airport.
- Many signs and traffic regulations have been translated into Italian.
- Summer is the best time to visit Istria, but we recommend coming in June and September when the weather is still pleasant (around 25-30 degrees Celsius), but there are far fewer tourists.
