Aminess Maestral Hotel****
The modern Aminess Maestral Hotel in Novigrad offers excellent value for money, a spacious wellness area and a well-equipped fitness room.
My personal tip for you
Since its one-year renovation break, the Hotel Maestral is once again our top destination in Croatia. The hotel simply offers the best price/performance ratio of all 4* training camps in Croatia and now also impresses with freshly renovated rooms, a new lobby and a restaurant in a modern design. Now it's time to be quick!

Training
A natural grass pitch (100 x 65 meters), a large, very good artificial turf pitch (100 x 63 meters) and a smaller artificial turf pitch (approx. 60 x 40 meters) are available directly on the hotel grounds. In addition, the natural grass pitch of the local club (100 x 65 meters), which is also only 200 meters from the hotel, can be used. On weekends when the maximum number of ten teams is reached, an additional artificial turf pitch is used in Dajla (103 x 60 meters), five kilometers away. Training times are scheduled approx. one week before arrival and take place in three shifts. On busy weekends, up to 10 teams can be in the hotel at the same time.

Activities
Beach/swimming facilities
There is a white, grainy and relatively steeply sloping pebble beach, in many places there are also concreted bathing platforms that protrude into the sea. The hotel has its own private section.
Nightlife
Novigrad is not exactly famous for its nightlife in the winter months, but some bars are open all year round.
Social program
Excursions to the city centers of Novigrad and Porec are always worthwhile.
Sports facilities
The area around the hotel is ideal for running, with a beautiful path leading directly along the sea. There are also several sports facilities nearby, some of which can be used for a fee, such as 17 clay tennis courts and a court for (beach) volleyball, basketball, handball and a sports hall with HARO sports flooring. The tennis courts are opened according to the weather conditions.
Team building
A few minutes' drive away there is a go-kart track, which is open all year round, a cross-kart track and a paintball facility (all by prior arrangement). We are happy to help you with the organization. In Umag there is a high ropes course and also a paintball facility, which we can reserve for you in advance. We are also happy to organize green fees or taster golf lessons on the only 18-hole golf course in Istria, the Adriatic Golf Club.
