Where to stay in Zadar

Find the best Zadar areas and neighborhoods for the activities you enjoy most.

Zadar Old Town

Zadar Old Town captivates with ancient marble streets that reveal centuries of history at every turn. The unique Sea Organ creates haunting melodies as waves push air through underwater pipes. Roman columns stand beside medieval churches and Venetian architecture, creating a living museum on this Adriatic peninsula. This walkable district invites exploration with its car-free pathways and stunning seaside views. Cathedral of St. Anastasia and circular St. Donat's Church showcase the area's rich religious heritage. At sunset, the Sun Salutation disc installation pulses with colorful light along the waterfront promenade.

Borik

Borik is a sun-soaked resort area along Zadar's Adriatic coastline where pristine pebble beaches meet crystal-clear waters. Pine-shaded walking paths wind along the waterfront, offering spectacular sunset views and peaceful evening strolls. The neighborhood centers around modern resort complexes with excellent amenities. The area shines with its beach-focused attractions including Beach Puntamika and Borik Beach. Water sports enthusiasts can rent kayaks and paddleboards while resort spas offer relaxing wellness treatments. Though dining options primarily exist within hotels, they serve fresh seafood and Croatian specialties with beautiful sea views.

Though Brodarica might not have many top sights, you can venture to the surrounding area to see attractions like Zadar Station and Sea Gate.

Arbanasi

Arbanasi offers a peaceful retreat just outside Zadar where traditional stone houses with red-tiled roofs line quiet residential streets. This suburb combines Albanian cultural heritage with Croatian coastal charm. Modest neighborhood parks and private gardens dot the landscape. Walk along the Adriatic shoreline to discover less-crowded beaches with crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming. The neighborhood has few tourist attractions but provides authentic interactions with welcoming locals. Central Zadar's historic sites remain easily accessible by car or bus.

Komoševa

Komoševa offers a glimpse into authentic Croatian daily life away from tourist crowds. This quiet residential neighborhood serves as a peaceful retreat with tree-lined streets and traditional stone houses mixed with modern buildings. Local families go about their routines while church bells chime in the distance. The few family-run konobas here serve delicious Dalmatian cuisine at reasonable prices. While lacking specific attractions, Komoševa provides an affordable base for exploring nearby Preko Harbor and Fort Saint Michael. Most visitors appreciate the genuine hospitality from local apartment owners who share insider recommendations.

"As other reviewers note the surrounding area isn’t particularly inviting but it didn’t feel unsafe. We walked to and from the hotel including at night. Zadar is still pretty unspoilt and quiet compared to Dubrovnik or Split but more flights year on year bring more tourists with new hotels opening to accommodate them, in areas outside the old town, this being one. It is an easy taxi ride from the airport and 15 mins walking distance from the old town. It was clean and comfortable but our room was very small and quite noisy - could hear toilets and showers in surrounding rooms during the night. Staff were good."

For a couple, the amount of hot water available was good but we did run out at the end for the family of 4. It quickly heats back up again. Great location within walking distance of the old town and there is a local supermarket close by. Would stay again for the convenience and hospitality"
