Location is solid - it was quiet, very close to the bus station, grocery store (with self-service laundromat inside), only about 5-10 minute walk to the nearest beach and maybe 20 to Old Town. Not a ton of restaurant options in the immediate area, other than a McDonald’s."

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.

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.

Top Zadar Hotel Reviews

Miramare Hotel Zadar

Miramare Hotel Zadar

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is in a great location just outside the old town with a beach just down the hill. The rooms are very clean with modern bathrooms. In hindsight we should probably have gone for a room with a balcony so if you're considering one I think it will probably be worth it. Breakfast is excellent with a cold buffet and more hot options available to order, plenty of options for vegetarians. The pool area is great and we had no issues finding available sun loungers while we were there. The staff is very friendly and efficient both in the reception and at breakfast."

"Excellent hostel. Beds were well spaced out and had privacy screens. Each bed had a large wardrobe style locker. The bunk beds well in built and had easy access steps as opposed to a ladder. Showers and toilets were clean. I was conscious that there were only 2 female showers on our floor but I never had to wait, and there might have been more down the corridor. Air con was very effective. I was able to leave my luggage and baggage at reception before and after check in and my passport could be stored in a safe at reception. The breakfast at Eden cafe was included and it was delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend."
