Staying in Umag
Umag is a coastal town on the Adriatic whose history takes in Roman settlement, Venetian rule and Austro-Hungarian administration before it became part of Croatia.

Visitors come largely from Central Europe, particularly in the summer months, and the atmosphere is relaxed, built around outdoor activities, seafood restaurants and waterfront promenades. The town is known for its tennis tournament, the Croatia Open, and for its historic old town. The 4-star addresses on this shortlist sit in Punta and Katoro or within a few kilometres of the centre. Punta is a coastal area just south of the centre with large hotels and resorts; Katoro is a tourist zone north of the centre with hotels, campsites and a beach.
