Spread over 45 hectares of fragrant pine forest on the Funtana peninsula, just 5 km north of Poreč, this award-winning 4-star resort is a true Istrian classic. The terrain cascades gently towards the Adriatic, so many pitches and mobile homes catch that priceless sea breeze and postcard view.
Onsite you have it all without ever needing to leave. Four outdoor freshwater pool complexes, including a toddler splash park with fountains and small slides, a large activity pool for aqua aerobics and games, and a quiet lounge pool with sea views. Two kilometres of beautifully maintained beach unfold in a mix of pebble, rock slabs and grassy sunbathing plateaus - ideal for snorkelling in crystal water. Add three restaurants, bars, pizzeria, a supermarket with bakery, fresh fish market, souvenir and camping shops, plus a small harbour for boat trips.
Who is it perfect for? Young families love the safe, shallow pools, playgrounds and kids club. Active families love the tennis, beach volleyball, table tennis, mini-golf, bike rental and horse riding right from the site. And curious families love the location - why choose between beach life and culture when Poreč, Rovinj and Pula are all on your doorstep? Looking for that effortless mix of nature, comfort and Istrian la dolce vita? You just found it.

Click to enlargeThe surroundings
Within 20 km of Bijela Uvala, Istria shows its most charming double personality. Inland, rolling vineyards, silver olive groves and sleepy hamlets like Funtana and Vrsar sit among pine and oak woods, perfect for cycling and truffle hunting. Towards the coast, the landscape opens into a glittering Riviera: sheltered coves, limestone islets, the Lim Fjord and the UNESCO Eufrazijeva Basilica in Poreč. It is rural enough for cicadas and nature walks, yet close enough for espresso on a Venetian waterfront.

Tip from our team
Our Campsite Specialist loves Bijela Uvala for its easy flow, and here are her tried-and-tested insider tips. Book a sea-view pitch early - the terraced upper rows have the best breezes and sunsets. Bring water shoes for the pebble coves, they make snorkelling so much more comfortable. Hit the pools before 11:00 for quiet laps, then move to the sea when the maestral wind picks up. Reserve the Vista Mare restaurant terrace for sunset - grilled Adriatic fish tastes better with that view. Cycle to Funtana for morning pastries, the coastal path is flat and toddler-friendly. Use the little tourist train to Poreč, it saves parking hassle. Try the morning fish market onsite for super-fresh sea bass. Bring a hammock, the pine trees are perfectly spaced. And do not miss the boat from the campsite harbour to Lim Fjord - best family photo spot in Istria.
