The campsite
Terraced pitches, cut into the hill above the sea.
Maestral has been run by the same family since 2003. It is small, it is on the water, and it has never been anything other than a campsite.
Where it is
Maestral Camping sits at the western end of Viganj, a village of about 330 people on the southern shore of the Pelješac peninsula. The camp is roughly 100 metres from Ponta, the cape that gives the spot its wind, and about 6 km west of Orebić.
The site covers nearly 15,000 square metres. It is terraced, so the ground steps down toward the water and most pitches are a short walk from the sea rather than a drive.

The three zones
Pitches are priced in three zones, and the zone is the only thing that changes between them on the bill. Zone 1 is closest to the water, zone 3 furthest back and quietest. Electricity, water and wifi are included in every zone — the zone does not change what you get, only how far you carry the towels.
Because the site is terraced, the pitches genuinely differ in shape and access. Rather than let you book a number that turns out not to fit your vehicle, we ask you to write to us with your dates and what you are driving.

- Sanitary blocks with hot showers, including a newer building in the upper part of the site
- Fridges and a washing machine, included in the pitch price
- Free wifi across the site
- Beach bar Čiringito, open to camp guests
- Free sun loungers, umbrellas and showers on the beach
- Locked windsurf and kite equipment storage on the beach, free for guests
- Freshwater rinse for boards, rigs and wetsuits
- Boat anchorage in front of the camp; trailer parking inside the camp
Arriving
Check-in is between 08:00 and 20:00 and the gate is open 07:00 to 23:00. Quiet hours run from 23:00 to 07:00, when vehicles do not enter or move inside the camp.
The approach is steep and the pitch entrances are tight. This is the single thing most worth telling us in advance: send your vehicle length and we will assign accordingly. Guests with large twin-axle caravans do stay here, comfortably, having sorted it out by email first.
Barbecues and fire
Gas and electric barbecues only. Open fire is not permitted anywhere on the site — the peninsula is dry through the summer and this is not negotiable.
