Surroundings

Camping Valamar Lanterna occupies a spectacular peninsula on the western coast of Istria, surrounded by the clear Adriatic Sea. Within a 15 km radius lie rocky coves, Blue Flag beaches, olive groves, vineyards and fragrant pine forests. Inland, gentle hills are dotted with traditional villages, while the Lim Bay fjord and fertile countryside add further variety. The coastline around Poreč and Novigrad offers a blend of natural beauty, Mediterranean vegetation and panoramic sea views.

“Camping Valamar Lanterna is a very large resort, so choosing the right location within the campsite can make a real difference. Families with younger children may prefer accommodation close to the Aquamar waterpark, playgrounds and entertainment facilities, while guests looking for greater tranquillity should consider areas nearer the coastline or shaded pine forest sections. The beaches vary considerably, and this is one of the resort’s strongest points. Some parts offer gently sloping pebble beaches ideal for children, while other sections provide rocky terraces with direct sea access and wonderful snorkelling opportunities. Water shoes are highly recommended, especially for younger children. Cycling is another excellent way to discover the area. The roads and trails connecting Tar, Novigrad and Poreč are suitable for family outings, and bike hire is available on-site. For dining, it is worth combining meals at the campsite restaurants with evenings in Novigrad or Poreč, where visitors can enjoy authentic Istrian cuisine, seafood and local wines. If you are visiting in high summer, we recommend booking sports activities and children’s clubs early, as these are among the most popular facilities. The resort is extensive, so bicycles or scooters can also be useful for families moving around the campsite.”
