In a round-up of top little-known holiday destinations around the Mediterranean by the UK’s Guardian newspaper, the Istrian retreat of Pomer near Medulin earned high praise for its relaxing natural surroundings, lack of crowds and panoramic sauna.
Also selecting secluded spots in France, Italy and Spain, the recently published Blue sky thinking: six sun-drenched seaside getaways in southern Europe singled out Pomer Bay partly thanks to the high-spec Arena One 99 Glamping lodging there. Visitors seeking an active break can look forward to windsurfing lessons and free bike hire, although many will be equally drawn by the hot tubs and sauna with views of the surrounding pine forest.
Pomer sits close to Pula, the nearest main airport, with its Roman landmarks and urban buzz.
