A New Way to Camp: Punto Blu – Self-Sufficient Premium Village
3 minIn this busy world of ours, slowing down has become an art in its own right. The bustling cityscapes make it difficult to tune out, while serene nature lures us to do just that. Opened this summer in Istria, Punto Blu Premium Village sets a dreamy stage for reconnecting with nature, and with one another. Coupling an idyllic Mediterranean landscape, mesmerising views of the azure sea, plenty of modern-day comforts with an ever-so-gentle environmental footprint, it is bound to give you the butterflies.
Punto Blu Valamar Camping Village is the newest addition to Valamar’s leading camping resort, Valamar Camping Lanterna, an enthralling clutch of themed camping villages. Stretching over three kilometres on the western coast of Istria, poised halfway between Novigrad and Poreč, the camping resort hogs a prime seafront location on the Lanterna peninsula.
It brims with life and things to do, ranging from its postcard-pretty Blue Flag beach, family-friendly aquaparks, and packed sport and performance programmes. It also showcases several restaurants that delight with their variety of choices, from traditional grill over savory Italian to fresh tuna bars. And when the time comes to retreat to your own secluded nook, with plenty of privacy, Punto Blu is the place.
Its 30 stylish camping chalets cascade down the slopes of a verdant hill above Tar bay, overlooking the dreamy kiss of Mirna river and the Adriatic Sea. The name, Punto Blu, suits it perfectly, for you could spend entire days musing over nuances of blue that appear as the sea and the sky journey through the day. The private shaded terrace of each chalet is just perfect for gazing at the horizon. Sip on your morning coffee over a majestic symphony of pastel colours. Bid farewell to daylight, a glass of wine in hand, as the most spectacular sunsets play out before you. During the day, soak up the views from the closed-to-the-public infinity pool in the centre of the village.
The well-appointed chalets feature everything else you might need for a fulfilling self-catered holiday. Their open-concept interiors with double beds are ideal for couples, but with the pull-out sofa for one person, families with one child can also have a wonderful holiday here.
Cook away in the kitchen equipped with a stove, a dishwasher and a microwave oven, but for a true dash of a Mediterranean summer, fire up the BBQ on the terrace. Preparing light summer meals with the freshest local ingredients is easy, as our Valfresco Direkt delivers the best of local fare straight to your chalet. If you don’t feel like cooking, Valfresco’s readyto- eat meals are also on option. Romance is easy at Punto Blu, even more so when you know that nature is being taken care of just as lovingly as you are.
The plants that surround you are all indigenous, which helps minimise water consumption. The village is completely self-sufficient when it comes to energy, and all its electricity comes from renewable sources, like the seamlessly integrated solar panels that harness the warmth of over 3850 sunny hours per year. The same warmth is sure to lure you into slowing down at Punto Blu, so you can take your time to take in the many shades of blue.
