Maistra CollectionCascading Adriatic resort
Stepped into the pine hillside, the terraced resort looks directly across the bay to Rovinj's church spire and yacht marina.
“It’s a haven for everyone from Birkenstock bros and their grid-ready beaus to old-money retirees—with some linen-clad families thrown in for good measure.”

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
That translates to roomy accommodations and plenty of photogenic backdrops for a drink, a chat, a massage, or whatever else you have in mind.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Lungomare Plaza sits right below with gelaterias and boutiques, an easy stroll from Rovinj Old Town and Golden Cape forest.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass leads to planted terraces framing the Adriatic, with blond timber and slate-gray stone inside.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A 50-metre indoor-outdoor lap pool extends into a glass pavilion, alongside an infinity pool facing Rovinj Old Town.
The spa and gym
The two-level spa houses five themed saunas, loungers set over shallow water, and treatments rooted in Istrian remedies.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Dining spans seven venues, from Michelin-starred tasting menus at Cap Aureo to sunset drinks overlooking the marina.
How it began

Studio 3LHD terraced the building into the slope in 2019, designing around five mature pine trees already on the site.
