Idyllically situated in a horse-shoe shaped bay, Umag, the pearl of the Umag riviera, offers guests the greatest possible comfort and accommodation. The town is full of contrasts, full of the juxtaposition of the old and the new, and it speaks picturesquely of its past to visitors.
Umag is made even more attractive by the old town citadel surrounded by the remains of towered walls from the fourteenth century, by the baroque church of St. Mary from the eighteenth century, by the narrow streets and stores which rays of sun penetrate in the late afternoon hours, creating unusual frescoes from light and shadow on the old facades.
Nature has endowed the town, created for rest and recreation, with 2,400 hours of sunshine a year and with a sea which in summer is a warm, comfotable 26 degrees celsius.
Thanks to its natural location and the great enthusiasm of the tourist and sports employees, this town offers a colorful palette of sports activities on both sea and land, such as: sailing, diving, water skiing, windsurfing, deep sea fishing, tennis, mini golf, basketball, volleyball, handball, soccer and other sports for which the necessary facilities and sports schools are available.
For those who love horses and the wonderfully attractive and challenging sport of riding, the ''Juricanija'' equestrian center in the tourist resort, ''Stella Maris'', offers the rare experience of being able to ride out in untouched nature, along beaches on the Umag riviera.
For those less accustomed to this sport, there is a riding school run by the highly professional staff of the equestrian center which also provides training for horses and stables with complete care for horses and veterinary services.Many hotels and resorts have been built along the coast itself which in addition to firstrate accommodation, offer various entertainment programs as well as local Istrian specialities.
Excursions can be organized to the Lim fyord, a unique geomorphic phenomena (famous for its exceptional oysters) as well as to the interior of Istria, to the small, picturesque towns of Momjan, Motovun, Buzet, Grožnjan and others which seem to have been frozen in the last century, and whose pubs and restaurants offer local specialities, which go well with the unique bouquet of wines like pinot, malvazija, and borgunja. In the evenings, guests can have fun in the many restaurants, out door cafes, and discos or can try their luck in the casino.
