Umag Holidays

Historic coast town and animated Croatia beach resort
Umag holidays combine a small, historic, fortified town with an enjoyable Croatia beach resort on the north-west coast of the Istria Peninsula, 25 miles north of the lively Croatia beach resort of Porec and close to both Slovenia and Italy. The focus of Umag holidays is the compact Old Town with 14th century fortifications, set on a headland with fine views of a perfect horseshoe bay. All Umag holidays should make time for strolling the pretty cobbled streets with medieval basilicas, attractive squares, shops, pavement cafes and bars. Umag holidays also centre on the fishing harbour, the yachting marina and the animated waterfront promenade, with a generous selection of restaurants and family-run tavernas with fine sea views. Umag holiday nightlife is quite lively given the small size of the town, and revolves around seafront bars and clubs and Umag casino.

Plenty of beaches to discover
Comfortable Umag hotels run alongside a series of Umag beaches on the beautiful Umag Riviera. Umag beaches stretch for around 12 miles, and are a nice varied mix of pebble beaches, rocky coves and fine sandy bays. Umag beaches can be supplemented by the equally fine beaches of the Savudria and Novigrad Rivieras. Naturist holidays in Umag tend to centre on Katoro beach.

Weather in Umag
Umag is the westernmost city in Croatia, located at the north-western tip of the country's coast, and so is a little cooler than most of the more southern resorts. Still, the city enjoys long six-month summers with temperatures reaching up to 28C at the height of summer. Winters are cool but mild and over quickly, with temperatures beginning to climb back into the mid-teens by March. Rainfall is fairly even over the entire year, with about a third of each month experiencing showers. Wind is fairly constant throughout the year at an average of eight knots, tending to blow east or west depending on the season.
