Hotel Adriatic

The perfect name for this hotel since it is located right by the seafront promenade and beach with many rooms overlooking the Adriatic – the Pasman channel to be specific.

Hotel Adriatic is a great value property with a three-star official rating only because rooms are around one metre too small for the four-star requirement. As costs rise all across the Mediterranean, this property provides real value for money in a superb location.

The centre of Biograd is just a few minutes’ walk where there are shops, bars, restaurants, supermarkets and more and the small old town is there too just a street or two back from the seafront.

It is just a few minutes stroll to various beaches including the long Drazica pebble beach which has sunbeds for hire. Soline beach is also close by, is part sandy and appeals to families.

One of the most popular spots in the hotel is the Lavender Lounge Bar which is situated on the seaside of the property with comfortable, outdoor lounge seating and music looking towards the sea. Great spot for drinks, snacks and light a la carte meals (burgers, salads, pizza).

There are two pools, one outside infinity pool at the Adriatic with free sunbeds and pool towels (charge). The indoor pool is located between the Adriatic and sister hotel Ilirija and has huge doors which open to the outside.

Spa Salvia covers the whole of the fifth floor of sister Hotel Ilirija and was completely renovated in 2022, providing one of the largest spa areas in a Croatian four-star hotel, with a wide range of treatments and superb views.

The main restaurant serves buffet style breakfast and half board meals together with an a la carte menu and there is a pretty outside terrace overlooking lawns and the beach. Guests receive a discount at the fine dining a la carte Marina restaurant which belongs to the hotel and is located at the marina.

A wide range of excursions is on offer from the hotel’s own travel agency including four national parks – Plitvice, Krka, Paklenica and Kornati (latter by boat as this is a chain of islands).

There is also a trip to Vrana Lake for bird watching and a day trip to Vrgada Island (the Golden Island) for swimming and lunch is included.

A new selection of health and vitality programmes at Salvia Spa are available.

This hotel is perfect for couples or groups of friends who want a beach and sightseeing combination at a place which is a real small town as well as a tourist resort and within easy reach of the city of Zadar, just 30 minutes north and several stunning national parks.
