What can you expect
Location and accommodation
Istria, the picturesque peninsula in the north-west of Croatia, is a top destination for those who enjoy a mix of nature, culture and coastal elegance. Its landscape is shaped by rolling hills, vineyards, olive groves, and small stone villages overlooking the sea. Along the coast, you’ll find charming harbour towns with clear blue water and a touch of Venetian history. From almost anywhere in Istria, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the islands scattered off the shore.
During your hiking holiday in Istria, you'll stay in one luxurious Istrian villa for the entire week — meaning you only need to carry a light daypack during the hikes. The villa is fully equipped with modern amenities to ensure maximum comfort, including a swimming pool where you can relax and recharge after a day of exploring the trails.
A private chef will be on-site to prepare fresh and nourishing meals tailored to fuel your body for the adventures ahead. Enjoy a hearty, energy-boosting breakfast, a refreshing picnic lunch, and a wholesome, protein-packed dinner — everything a true hiker needs to stay energized and recover after a full day in the outdoors.
Guided hiking tours
Each morning we'll drive about 30 minutes to a new starting point, which allows us to explore different sceneries and a wide range of landscapes throughout the week.
Our guided hikes explore the finest destinations in Istria. Discover Cape Kamenjak, famous for its impressive cliffs and hidden bays; Rabac, offering phenomenal views over the stunning Kvarner Islands; and Učka Nature Park, the highest peak in the area, where scenic mountain trails reveal amazing vistas across the peninsula, all the way to the Adriatic Sea. Each hike promises an unforgettable outdoor experience for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
Some hikes are circular loops, while others are point-to-point, giving you a variety of trail experiences. After each hike, we’ll return to our luxurious Istrian villa where you can freshen up, enjoy a well-earned 3-course dinner prepared by our private chef and unwind at the pool.
This is hiking in Croatia at its finest — immersed in nature, with all the comfort and style you need to recharge for the next day.
