Petram Resort & Residences, a unique hotel-residence complex with integrated premium facilities and services that guarantee a five-star vacation experience, was officially opened in Savudrija, in the presence of a large number of dignitaries from social and public life. Petram Resort & Residences represents MK Group’s investment in Croatian tourism, the value of which is more than 100 million euros, which was realized in partnership with Aleksandar Group.
The complex covers almost 85,000 m2 and contains 55 villas and 197 apartments of modern design, built according to the highest standards of green construction. In addition to accommodation facilities available for rent or purchase, within the resort guests have access to three restaurants, two swimming pools, a beach, wellness and sports facilities, as well as property management with 24-hour support. Petram’s trademark is the longest infinity rooftop pool in Europe, 105 meters long.
On behalf of investors MK Group and Aleksandar Group, Mihailo Janković, general director of MK Group, addressed the gathered guests. “This project is a synergy of the rich experience that Aleksandar Group has in construction with over 2 million built square meters, and the expertise of MK Group, which has been operating in the luxury hotel industry for 15 years. We entered this project believing in the potential of Savudrija, and Petram has become a symbol of the new, cosmopolitan Istria for us. The development of this destination while preserving its values is one of the promises that MK Group makes in the year of the great jubilee, when we celebrate 40 years of creation,” said Janković.
“Such investments in Croatian tourism contribute to the quality and diversification of the destination, and I believe that they will further enrich the tourist offer of Istria.” I am glad that this premium tourism project respects all the principles of sustainability, because it is the main strategic direction of the development of Croatian tourism. The Government of the Republic of Croatia will continue to create an encouraging and safe investment environment in tourism,” said Nikolina Brnjac, Minister of Tourism and Sports of the Republic of Croatia.
The official opening of Petram Resort & Residences was attended by Vili Bassanese, the mayor of Umag. “The benefits that Petram Resort brings – the impact on employment, the use of top indigenous products, the impact on gourmet and sports tourism, are the benefits of the entire community. I am glad that another valuable investment was realized in the area of Umag and I thank everyone who participated in the realization of this project”, said the mayor of Umag.
More than 100 construction companies, over 60 suppliers of various equipment, and more than 1,700 workers participated in the Petram Resort construction project over the past two years. This is MK Group’s second major investment in the area of Savudrija, where the Kempinski Adriatic hotel, which is owned by this company, is already successfully operating.
