There are seven sanitary facilities within the campsite. Some of them have family bathrooms, children’s bathrooms, and facilities for people with disabilities.
Beaches
The beach is rocky and has an easy access to the sea. It offers a picturesque view of the southern Istrian islands, and the Kvarner islands of Cres and Lošinj. The area is known for its exceptional sea quality due to its location at the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula and the strong sea currents.
The entire coastline of the campsite offers plenty of space for guests to find a quiet spot. Sun loungers and umbrella rentals are available for hire. A section of the beach is designated for pets, and there are dog showers in the sanitary facilities.
Restaurants, bars and shops
The campsite has two à la carte restaurants serving local dishes made with fresh local produce. There is also a fast-food restaurant near the sea that serves drinks, pancakes, and ice cream.
Other amenities include a supermarket, souvenir shop, fruit and vegetable stand, and a newsstand.
Sports and entertainment
The campsite’s sports centre offers windsurfing lessons and rentals of boats, jet skis, pedal boats, and bicycles. Guests can enjoy hiking and cycling on the peninsula, while swimming and diving on the unspoilt beaches of Cape Kamenjak is a truly special experience. Quad hire and the aqua park, which tests the skills of young and old, are also popular.
The entertainment team is responsible for bringing smiles to the faces of the younger guests through the Arena Activities Club for children and teenagers. They can also visit the playground or take part in workshops and competitions. Activities for adult campers include morning exercise, functional training sessions and group walks.
What to do and see in and around Premantura?
The quaint fishing village of Premantura offers a unique culinary experience with a focus on different types of crab, a local speciality. Visit the local market to stock up on fresh fruit and vegetables, then enjoy your morning coffee at one of the terrace bars.
Exploring Cape Kamenjak and its thirty kilometres of coastline of rare beauty is a must. There are many secluded corners and valuable plant and animal species such as orchids and butterflies. Visitors can enjoy activities such as jumping into the sea from the rocks or walking along the Dinosaur Trail, and later refresh themselves at the unique Safari Bar.
Pula is the largest Istrian town with well-preserved Roman monuments. As well as visiting the Arena, a stroll through the streets of the old town, lined with authentic konobas, tasting rooms and souvenir shops, is a rewarding experience.
