General information
Wellness, luxury and fine dining in Istria
Unwind in style at one of Croatia’s most stunning locations. Welcome to this beautiful campsite in the south of the Istrian peninsula. Here, you’ll find Papafigo, a charming, family-run campsite that opened in 2021. This is glamping at its finest, with fully equipped luxury safari tents and modern mobile homes. Nestled in an olive grove, Camping Papafigo boasts a restaurant with a scenic rooftop terrace, a wellness center, and an outdoor pool. In short: the perfect recipe for a relaxing holiday!A day at the beach
Just five kilometers away lies the beautiful beach of Peroj, a small village in southern Istria. The crystal-clear blue sea is guaranteed to put you in the holiday mood. Pack your flip-flops, towel, and sunscreen, and you’re all set for a day by the water! But if you’d rather stay closer to home, you won’t have to go far for a refreshing dip—there’s a pool on-site, complete with a shallow area just for kids. The sun terrace, with its loungers and parasols, is the perfect spot to soak up the warm Croatian sun.The real showstopper at Camping Papafigo is its wellness center. This stylish retreat offers a sauna, steam bath, whirlpool, and massage room, ensuring pure relaxation. Access to the wellness facilities is available at an additional charge, but it’s well worth it.
Taste the flavors of the Mediterranean
The campsite’s restaurant exudes a welcoming atmosphere. Located in the main building, it features two terraces, so you can almost always enjoy your meal outdoors. From the ground-floor terrace, you’ll have a view of the pool, while the rooftop terrace, next to the bar, offers a stunning panorama of the olive trees and the distant sea. Order a drink, sit back, and take in the view—it doesn’t get much better than this! The Mediterranean-inspired dishes are made with fresh, local ingredients. Every day, owner Mladen Buršić handpicks the finest produce from the local market to create delicious meals for his guests. You can also start your day here with a delightful breakfast.Set sail with a captain: a one-of-a-kind experience
Camping Papafigo offers a selection of one-day boat trips for its guests. These excursions take you to some of the most breathtaking spots along the coast, all under the guidance of an experienced captain—who might even let you take the helm for a while! A boat trip is a fantastic way to explore Istria’s stunning coastline. Your kids will love every moment! Try your hand at fishing, take a swim in the crystal-clear water, or venture into hidden coves and picturesque islands. And as the sun sets over the sea, you’ll witness a magical moment you’ll never forget. Ask at reception for more details on the available trips.
