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.

Brodarica

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

Knež

Knež offers a quiet retreat from Zadar's tourist bustle. This welcoming residential area gives visitors a glimpse into authentic Croatian suburban life. The neighborhood features a mix of modern housing and traditional stone homes with terracotta roofs along tree-lined streets. Small local konobas and family-run cafés serve delicious home-style Croatian cooking at modest prices. While Knež itself has few attractions, nearby Preko Harbor and Fort Saint Michael make worthwhile day trips. Travelers appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and budget-friendly accommodations just a 25-30 minute walk from Zadar's Old Town.

Hotel Kolovare

8/10 Good
"Medium size hotel with a pool 15 minutes from Zadar Old Town. The rooms were nice and clean, the housekeeping did a great job. No tea or coffee in the room. The pool area was pleasant, plenty of sunbeds but could do with an update. The hotel seems to cater for coach tours, large turnover of guests every night but quite empty during the day, which is nice. There is only one restaurant, which provides breakfast and both buffet and à la a carte dining in the evening. Breakfast was plentiful and a pleasant experience. The evening meal was less so as the restaurant was very busy with the large groups from the coaches. Some of the staff was polite and pleasant (receptionist, barman in the lobby bar, waitresses in the restaurant) but bar staff in the pool bar were generally indifferent and borderline rude at times. We had a sea view room but unfortunately the view was limited by the decorative grill, it would be a great improvement if that could be removed because there would be lovely views. Overall good accommodation but with some care and improvement it could be a lot better."
