Welcome to Tar
Tar is a small hilltop village in Croatian Istria, surrounded by farmland, olive groves, and the Mirna River valley. The surrounding countryside is ideal for cycling and walking, with the Istrian coast easy to reach for swimming and boat trips. Resorts in Tar give you a quieter base than the busier coastal towns, with the flavours of Istrian cuisine and wine country right on your doorstep.
How to find the best resort deal in Tar
The same magic that powers our flight search can also help you score amazing room rates online. Here are some hacks to find the perfect place to stay and save in no time.
Book in advance
Book ahead to boost your chances of finding your ideal resort for the right price. This is even more important during busy travel periods like school holidays and major festive seasons.
...Or bag a last-minute Tar resort deal
Booking late isn't always predictable, but it can pay off. Some places reduce their rates close to arrival to attract more guests, especially in low season.
Flexible on dates? Say hello to better rates
Even small changes to your travel dates can make a difference when searching for cheap resorts in Tar. Swap weekends for weekday stays, or travel during shoulder season instead of the most popular months.
Go all-inclusive
All-inclusive resorts in Tar make things easier by bundling meals, drinks and activities into the room rate. They're a good fit if you plan to stay mostly in one place and want predictable daily costs. Check availability for this stay type as you compare.
Show discounted resorts only
Make use of the 'Only show hotels with discounts' filter to easily find resorts offering deals or discounts. This saves you from having to dig through full-price listings.
When to visit Tar
High and low season in Tar
Summer draws the most visitors to Tar, with warm, sunny conditions making it ideal for exploring the area and enjoying the outdoors. Demand picks up from June through August, so securing accommodation early gives you more options. The surrounding Istrian landscape is at its most inviting during this period, and nearby coastal areas are easy to reach.
Visiting Tar outside of summer means fewer people around and a more relaxed experience overall. Prices tend to be lower, and you'll find it easier to book accommodation without planning far ahead. Some local services may operate on reduced schedules in the off-season, so it's worth confirming what's available before your trip.
Tar is a small place, and confirmed event information can be hard to find from outside the area. The broader Istria region hosts food, wine, and cultural events across the year, and some activity may extend to Tar and its surroundings. A local visitor information centre or your accommodation can point you toward anything happening nearby during your stay.
