Novigrad is a popular tourist town located on the western coast of the Istrian Peninsula, south of Umag. It is the seat of the eponymous municipality and administratively belongs to the Istria County. A former fishing village, it is today known for its many attractions, well-maintained parks, cuisine, clean sea, and beautiful beaches.
The main cultural and historical sights include the Church of Saint Pelagius and Saint Maximus, the Belvedere, the bell tower, the former town walls, and the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The town has two museums, the Lapidarium Museum and Gallerion with a naval war collection. Marina Nautica is located in the protected and naturally deep eastern part of the bay, about one kilometer from Novigrad’s old town center. It is well protected from all winds. The modern first-category marina has all the necessary infrastructure. It features a unique arrangement of piers in the shape of a shell and offers 50 dry and 365 wet berths. A newly installed mobile lifting device can lift vessels up to 110 tons. The sea depth at the anchorages ranges from three to five meters, and near the harbor coast, it is one and a half meters. Berthing is also possible on the 90-meter-long breakwater, at the end of which stands a lighthouse. The nominal range is six nautical miles. Within the marina, visitors have access to the Navigare bar and restaurant, the luxury Nautica Hotel with a conference hall, and the Senses wellness center. The newly renovated wellness area offers guests a heated indoor pool, a spacious jacuzzi, and saunas designed for a premium relaxation experience. Soothing massages, spa treatments, and beauty services are also available.
In addition, visitors can access a service center, a nautical equipment store, a currency exchange, parking, a gas station, a laundry, and a self-service shop. Due to the mild Mediterranean climate, characterized by lush vegetation, all marina services are available year-round.
