Rakalj is a small Istrian village situated above Raški zaljev, known for its preserved natural surroundings, traditional architecture, and quieter way of life. Unlike the most publicized tourist centers of Istria, it offers a more authentic atmosphere, along with proximity to the sea and the opportunity to enjoy nature without the everyday crowds.

In the immediate vicinity of the property there are an elementary school, kindergarten, shop, bakery, and restaurants, making the location practical for year-round living, not just occasional stays.

Rakalj is known for its coastline, hidden coves, and natural beaches. Nearby are Luka Rakalj and Kalavojna bay, while the area also features cycling routes and the Stjepan Hauser walking trail, approximately 5 km long, connecting natural coves and the coastal landscape.

One of the special features of the location is Stari Rakalj, a historic area above Cape Sv. Nikola, where the remains of a former fort and the church of St. Agnes are located. From this position, there are wide views toward Raški zaljev, Labinština, and Kvarnerski zaljev.

Rakalj is also the birthplace of the Istrian writer and economist Mijo Mirković, better known as Mate Balota, and his birth house has now been arranged as a memorial ethnographic collection.

Rakalj is located in the area north-east of Pula, above Raški zaljev, in a natural yet easily accessible part of southern Istria.

This property represents an opportunity for buyers looking to build a modern villa in a peaceful Istrian setting, with the advantage of an already prepared conceptual design and spacious land. The combination of modern architecture, generous outdoor areas, and natural surroundings may be appealing both for private use and for the development of a tourist property.

This is a property that offers more than just a plot - it provides a solid basis for creating a modern villa with peace, privacy, and the natural surroundings of one of the more authentic locations in southern Istria.
