Funtana beaches: a shore for your kind of day
The coast is varied. Choose your beach by the way you will use it, rather than by the promise of a single perfect stretch of sand.

01 / A sense of place
The pleasure of
having nowhere else to be.
A morning by the fishing harbour. A stretch of shoreline that becomes your favourite. A table you are not quite ready to leave. Funtana’s appeal lies in the small rituals: the sea, the village, the simple pleasure of being outdoors. Look beyond the beach and you will find freshwater springs, a story of stone houses and a landscape shared with neighbouring Vrsar. This is your guide to putting those pieces together.

02 / The longer look
The first light.
The simplest luxury.
Before the day gathers pace, walk towards Puntica and the marina. Funtana is often at its most memorable when very little is happening.

Make room for small adventures
Build a family day around one main outing, with time for breaks and a long, uncomplicated meal.
Day 3
A change of perspective
Visit neighbouring Vrsar, then return to Funtana for your last evening by the water.

A few things to know
What kind of holiday suits Funtana?
A stay organised around beaches, outdoor living, village restaurants and family time. Accommodation ranges from private apartments to campsites; the right choice depends on the daily routine you prefer.
