Pomer

Why visit Pomer?

Pomer offers a quieter alternative to southern Istria’s larger resort destinations. Life here revolves around the sea. Boats fill the marina, pine trees provide shade along the coast and the calm waters of Medulin Bay create an inviting setting for swimming and water activities. The village’s location makes it particularly appealing for couples, families and active travellers who want to stay surrounded by nature while remaining close to some of Istria’s best-known attractions. Pomer also has a long connection with the sea and local food. Fresh fish and shellfish remain an important part of the area’s culinary tradition, making a relaxed meal by the bay part of the experience.

Beaches and Medulin Bay

Pomer Beach stretches around the coastline beside the village and Arena One 99 Glamping, with a mixture of pebble and rocky areas surrounded by Mediterranean greenery. The sheltered waters of Medulin Bay are ideal for swimming, while the coastline provides plenty of opportunities to relax beneath the pine trees and enjoy views across the bay.

Outdoor activities in Pomer

Pomer is particularly well suited to an active holiday in Istria. The bay offers excellent conditions for activities such as windsurfing, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking and sailing, while bikes make it easy to explore the surrounding coastline and countryside. For those who prefer a slower pace, walking and jogging routes through the Mediterranean landscape offer another way to experience the area. Nearby Cape Kamenjak, at the southern end of the Istrian peninsula, is one of the region’s most distinctive natural landscapes, known for its rugged coastline, hidden coves and cycling trails.

Taste Pomer and Istria

Pomer’s fishing heritage continues to influence its local cuisine. Restaurants and traditional konobas serve Adriatic fish and seafood, accompanied by Istrian olive oil, seasonal ingredients and local wines. Mussels have long been associated with the bay and are one of the local flavours worth seeking out during your stay.
