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.

Heritage hotel Bastion

10/10 Excellent
"The staff were wonderful, extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel was great, very clean and located in a very cool old building. Our room had a great view of the harbor. The room was large and well-kept. The hotel breakfast, while taking a bit of time, was made from scratch and worth it. I actually saw one person order everything on the menu. The staff did not react at all. I was very impressed. This is an amazing place and is located in the best part of Zadar."
