Hotel Garden Istra****
The Hotel Sol Garden Istra in Umag offers modern rooms, a spacious wellness area and a well-equipped fitness room - ideal for training camps.
My personal tip for you
This hotel is a classic among training camp locations in Croatia and has been one of the most popular destinations for years. On popular weekends, you can expect many teams to be on site.
Training
Training takes place on one of over ten natural grass pitches or alternatively on two artificial turf pitches in Umag and the surrounding area (e.g. Savudrija, Babici; distance to the hotel one to nine kilometers). Movable goals are available on most pitches. Changing rooms can be used for an additional charge. During the winter months, up to 30 teams are accepted at the same time at weekends. Training times and pitches are allocated on site by a sports manager from the hotel, who works in three shifts.

Map
Umag is located in the north of Istria, about three kilometers north of Umag in a vacation resort.
We recommend arriving by car or coach, as Umag is about an hour's drive from both Trieste and Pula airports.
Activities
Beach/swimming facilities
The hotel has two pools (indoor and outdoor) and is located - separated by a small park - just 250 meters from the rocky beach by the sea.
Nightlife
Although Umag is rather quiet in the winter months, there are also a few nice places to go out at this time of year, such as the Mystic Pub right in Umag.
Sports facilities
Right next to the hotel is a sports complex with three small artificial turf courts. The neighbouring Hotel Coral (also part of the Sol Melia Group) has 14 tennis courts. Beach volleyball courts can be used on the beach (weather permitting). The complex also has a basketball court, a bowling center and table tennis tables. Practically all indoor sports can be played in the multi-purpose hall in Umag.
