The biggest tobacco company in Croatia has received permission to build a golf resort along the Adriatic Sea on the Istrian peninsula, the nation’s favorite vacation destination.
Adris Group sells several brands of cigarettes, including Ronhill, Walter Wolf, and Avangard. It also owns a publicly traded hotel and golf travel company, Maistria, Ltd., that plans to build a 200-room hotel with a 27-hole golf complex on 265 acres near Vrsar, a village along Istria’s western coast.
The golf complex, which will include a learning center, will be designed by Jose Maria Olazabal, the Spanish golf star. Olazabal, who’s based in San Sebastian, Spain, designed a golf course for the giant Mission Hills complex in Shenzhen, China and more than a dozen courses in Spain, including Club de Golf Masia Bach in Barcelona and Golf Los Retamares in Madrid.
Maistria, one of Croatia’s top hotel companies, operates more than a dozen hotels and resorts with a total of nearly 11,000 rooms. Most of its properties are located in the northwestern part of Istria, near the towns of Rovinj and Vrsar.
The company plans to break ground on the golf complex at Maistria Stancija Grande in early 2011.
