Mirna Uvala

The villa

Mirna Uvala is a striking contemporary villa set across two beautifully designed levels. Defined by its bold architectural lines and refined material palette, the villa’s living space centres around a large sculptural fireplace structure that subtly separates the living and dining areas while preserving the open-plan flow. Modern wooden features run throughout and floor-to-ceiling glass doors flood the interiors.

Four elegant en-suite bedrooms offer privacy and comfort, while the master suite is a true sanctuary with a large freestanding bathtub. Clean lines, neutral tones and tactile finishes enhance the calming atmosphere, complemented by a Finnish sauna and private indoor wellness area.

The villa’s heated pool is an architectural highlight, designed as a seamless indoor - outdoor experience. Stretching from the covered wellness space onto the sun-drenched terrace, it allows effortless swimming between inside and out. Framed by timber decking and panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, the pool appears to merge with the landscape. Sun loungers and a covered outdoor dining terrace complete this tranquil retreat, perfectly positioned within peaceful countryside yet within easy reach of Istria’s charming villages and Adriatic coastline.

Mirna Uvala is nestled in the lush interior of Istria, often referred to as the region’s “Green Heart,” where rolling vineyards, forested hills and medieval hilltop towns define the landscape. Close by lies Buzet, famously known as the “City of Truffles”, a gastronomic hotspot and gateway to the renowned Motovun Forest, celebrated for its prized white truffles. Here, guests can embark on truffle-hunting adventures, savour local Malvazija and Teran wines, or visit artisan distilleries such as Aura for a true taste of the region.

Within easy reach, the enchanting hilltop towns of Motovun and Grožnjan invite exploration with their cobbled streets, art galleries and panoramic views, while Hum, proudly known as the world’s smallest town, offers a uniquely charming stop. For nature lovers, the spectacular Seven Waterfalls Trail promises one of Istria’s most scenic hikes. And when the sea calls, the Adriatic coastline around Poreč, Rovinj and Novigrad is just a short drive away, where crystal-clear waters, picturesque harbours and exceptional seaside dining provide the perfect balance to Mirna Uvala’s peaceful countryside setting.
