Learn more about Zadar

Along the seafront promenade, the Sea Organ plays haunting melodies created by waves pushing air through underwater pipes. Nearby, the Sun Salutation captures daylight and creates a mesmerising light show after sunset. Roman ruins stand alongside medieval churches in this ancient walled city, where history feels casually abundant. The Cathedral of St. Anastasia towers over narrow limestone streets that open suddenly into sunny squares. Duck into the Museum of Ancient Glass to see delicate Roman artefacts displayed with surprising wit. After exploring Zadar's old town, join locals at sunset when they gather by the sea. The Times didn't call this the "entertainment centre of the Adriatic" for nothing.

"This was a lovely property in a very convenient location. The breakfast was wonderful and the staff amazing. I had an issue with the airline losing/mishandling my bag. When I was having no luck in getting cooperation from them, Marrina stepped in and handled it. She took control, was able to get them to deliver my bag to the hotel, and I was able to enjoy my time there without the added stress. I can't recommend this hotel more highly. Their guest services were top notch!"

"Excellent place. The spa, the pools, the views, the proximity to the beach, the food was still very good qualitiy although some years ago there were more choices. The indoor pool is the best. It is very expensive for solo travellers as they do not have single rooms. Negative point: there was no control at the pools or spa. There were naked people in the spa during the hours that children were allowed. There were naked babies in the pool (no swimming diapers). At sunset the heated pool was lined with drinks (in glass containers) and people drinking them inside the pool."

During your visit, you can explore historical monuments, the stunning cathedral, charming cafes, and picturesque churches. Additionally, you might enjoy activities like sailing and swimming, as well as attending local musicals. This timeframe offers great value for money for those travelling on a budget, as prices may drop further, making it an ideal opportunity for exploration.

Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you find a better deal for your stay in a Zadar hotel. If you’re seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value.
