Lampuga Fitness Camp: 7-Day Training & Adventure Holiday in Istria, Croatia

Lampuga operates out of Pula, on the southern tip of Istria, and the camp is structured as a full week rather than a series of drop-in classes. The day typically opens at 7:30 with a sunrise run along the water, or 8:00 with breakfast depending on the day's schedule. Training sessions are led by Coach Daniel, who runs the camp's strength and conditioning work — three camp training sessions across the week, plus gym sessions on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 9:30.

What separates this from a standard fitness retreat is how much of the week happens outdoors and off the gym floor. There's a kayak tour around the National Park islands, an open-water swimming session for all levels, a cliff-and-nature day at Kamenjak, a bike ride into the city, and a full-day boat trip to the Brijuni islands. Beach volleyball runs on Sunday and Wednesday evenings at 20:30, and the week closes with wine tasting and a farewell party on Friday night.

Meals are Mediterranean and built around the training — breakfast and dinner are included daily, with fish grilled on arrival night, a fish restaurant dinner on Thursday, and a wine tasting dinner on Friday. The food shows up repeatedly in guest reviews as one of the highlights, which is unusual for a fitness camp.

The 2026 dates run from mid-June through early September, with four confirmed weeks: 13–20 June, 20–27 June, 28 August–5 September, and 5–12 September. Prices start at €1090 per person, with a 20% early bird discount available on some departures and a further discount for groups of four or more.

The camp is based in Pula, which puts you within reach of Kamenjak's coastline, the Brijuni archipelago, and the city's Roman amphitheatre — one of the best-preserved in the world. The setup is deliberately social: cabins and rooms are near the sea, dinners are communal, and the schedule is designed so that solo travellers slot into the group within the first evening.
