Some villas simply have a pool. Others are designed around one. Lusso Mare Istria belongs to the second group — a purpose-built 2022 property in Savudrija where the 72 m² pool, the terraces and the interior all work together as a single, unhurried whole.
A villa designed for privacy and space
Lusso Mare Istria offers 475 m² of indoor living across three bedrooms and four bathrooms, comfortably arranged for up to six guests. Every room was designed with proportion and light in mind, so the villa never feels crowded even when the whole group is together.
Because the villa was completed in 2022, the layout, insulation and finishes reflect current building standards rather than an older property adapted for rental — which is part of what guests mean when they describe the stay as effortless.
The private pool at the centre of the villa
The 72 m² pool sits on a 1,300 m² plot, with enough surrounding terrace and lawn that sunbeds, shade and dining areas do not compete for space. It is used exclusively by your group for the length of the stay — there is no shared schedule, no other guests, no need to reserve a spot.
The sea itself is just steps away from the villa, so a morning swim in the pool and an afternoon walk down to the water can both be part of the same lazy day.
Location: Savudrija, on the tip of Istria
The villa is located at Villa Celine, Alberi 300A, Savudrija, close to Umag and within reach of Golf Adriatic. It sits on the quieter, western edge of the Istrian peninsula, which means fewer crowds without giving up easy access to the coast.

Interior design and everyday comfort
Inside, the villa favours clean lines, natural materials and large glazed openings that keep the interior connected to the terrace and pool rather than closed off from them. Bedrooms and bathrooms are distributed so that groups sharing the villa — whether one family or several couples travelling together — each get a genuinely private corner rather than a room off a shared corridor.
The kitchen and living areas are sized for a full group to cook, eat and sit together comfortably, which matters more than it sounds once you have spent a few days self-catering rather than eating out for every meal.
Outdoor living across a 1,300 m² plot
The plot around the villa is large enough to hold several distinct outdoor areas without any of them feeling cramped: a dining terrace, sunbeds around the pool, and quieter lawn space away from the main entertaining area. It is the kind of layout that works whether you are hosting a full group for dinner or want a quiet corner to read in the morning.
Because the grounds are private to your booking, there is no need to negotiate space with other guests — loungers, shade and the pool itself are simply available whenever you want them.
Who this villa suits
Because everything — pool, kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms and outdoor space — belongs to one group only, the villa works equally well for a family with children who want room to spread out and for couples looking for a quieter, more private setting than a hotel. If you are still deciding between the two formats, our guide to villa or hotel in Istria walks through the practical differences.
It also suits small groups of friends or two or three couples travelling together, since four bathrooms and separate bedrooms remove most of the friction of sharing one property. For a slower, more intimate version of the same idea, see our guide to a romantic escape in Istria for couples.

Rates and how to book
Lusso Mare Istria is let on an enquiry basis, with rates published on the site starting from €1,500 per night depending on season and length of stay. Because the villa is a single, self-contained property, availability is limited to one booking at a time — so it is worth checking dates as early as possible, especially for the summer months.
Once you send an enquiry with your dates and group size, the team will confirm availability and the exact rate for your stay directly — there is no automated instant-booking calendar, which keeps the process straightforward for a single-property villa like this one.

A typical day at the villa
Guests tend to settle into a similar rhythm within a day or two: a slow breakfast on the terrace, a morning swim while the pool is still in shade, then either a short outing into Savudrija or Umag, or simply staying put for the day. Afternoons usually belong to the pool and the surrounding lawn, and evenings are spent cooking together in the kitchen or eating out at one of the restaurants nearby.
Because nothing about the schedule is fixed, the same villa works equally well for an active week built around beach days and day trips, or a genuinely quiet week where the pool and terrace are the main event.
