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 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.

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.

"My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly and informative. Our room was beautiful, especially the bathroom. We were impressed with the towel warmer. The window balcony was an added bonus! The restaurant is absolutely stunning. We were shocked with how amazing the breakfast buffet was!! Out of all of our travels so far, this hotel and it's breakfast is one of our favourites! The doors to your room are very unique. They light up in different ways to inform housing keeping if you're in the unit or not. It's in a great location, near old Town Zadar, Kolovare beach and beautiful restaurants/Cafe bars. The area surrounding the hotel is a little beat down and old, but safe! If you love cats as much as I do, you will encounter them in the surrounding area. When checking out of the hotel and leaving for the airport, they do have a luggage storage room if you have some time before check out and your flight. We found this very resourceful and considerate.
