Location
About the surrounding area of Villa DarinaJust a short walk from the traditional village of Muline, Villa Darina offers easy access to local beaches, restaurants and a peaceful, authentic Croatian way of life. Muline is home to friendly locals, old olive oil plantations, and scenic cycling and diving opportunities. Once a key olive oil hub during the Roman Empire, the area’s heritage is still visible today.
Nearby Luka Beach is ideal for families, with shaded picnic spots under ancient olive trees, shallow waters and rock pools perfect for children. For those up for a hike, the climb to St. Michael’s Fortress offers spectacular views over Preko and Zadar.
A day trip to Zadar is a must. This historic city is full of Romanesque and medieval architecture, lively street cafés and cultural landmarks. Visit St. Anastasia’s Cathedral for sweeping views from its bell tower, and don’t miss the modern Sun Salutation installation, which lights up beautifully at sunset.
Further afield, Krka National Park is a stunning natural escape. Swim in the pools beneath Skradinski Falls or explore the park’s many trails and cycling routes. For a unique experience, take a boat trip to the remote island monastery of Visovac – a tranquil and unforgettable sight.

Region
The stunning islands of Ugljan and Pasman sweep along the North Dalmatia coastline just south of the bustling city of Zadar. With their lush natural beauty and warm hospitality, these islands are a captivating destination for those seeking a tranquil getaway.
Ugljan, often referred to as the "green island," is characterised by its ever-green Mediterranean vegetation, olive groves, and pine forests. Its historical significance dates back to ancient times, making it a treasure trove for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
The main town on Ugljan, Preko is an utterly charming coastal village boasting a picturesque harbour and a lovely promenade. Take leisurely walks along the seafront, indulge in local cuisine at the waterfront restaurants, and immerse yourself in the town's welcoming atmosphere. A visit to St. Michael's Fort is a must! This well-preserved medieval fortress has sweeping panoramic views of
the island and its surrounding waters, making it an ideal spot for photography enthusiasts and great for a bit of historical exploration!
Ugljan boasts numerous beautiful beaches, each with its unique character. Sabusa Beach and Muline Beach are both popular choices for sunbathing and swimming, but there are numerous secluded spots to be discovered along the coastline.
Pasman, connected to Ugljan via Ždrelac Bridgebridge, is known for its pristine nature, crystal-clear waters, and a slower pace of life that means you can really switch off. Pasman is especially famous for its idyllic sandy beaches, as well as secluded natural bays - it’s a real slice of paradise, and still relatively untouched.
Tkon is the largest town on Pasman, and it's a delightful place to explore. Take a wander through the charming streets lined with stone houses, and visit the town’s Church of St. Thomas, a historic monument with more stunning views not to be missed. St. Damian’s Monastery is 12th-century Franciscan monastery, with beautiful gardens and a panoramic view from the bell tower. The monastery houses a museum featuring religious art and artefacts.
Some of the best coastal spots on Pasman include Crljina Beach, Suha Punta, and St. Damian's Bay. They’re often less busy than the beaches on the mainland, making them perfect for relaxing days soaking up the sea and sun. Ugljan and Pasman islands offer a fantastic base for a bit of island hopping. You can easily explore the neighbouring islands of Dugi Otok, Kornati, and Zverinac. Each one offers distinct experiences, ranging from national parks to secluded coves, allowing you to embark on your own unique voyage of discovery.
Immerse yourself in the local culture by attending traditional festivals and events that take place throughout the year on Ugljan and Pasman. These include seafood festivals, cultural exhibitions, and religious processions, providing a glimpse into the island's rich heritage and traditions.
Ugljan and Pasman are a captivating destination for travellers seeking a unique and off-the-beatenpath experience. With their stunning landscapes, traditional cuisine and outstanding hospitality, these islands offer a serene slice of paradise that will leave you in awe of their natural beauty.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Darina is a fantastic choice for families, offering plenty of space and entertainment for children of all ages. A dedicated playroom with a small table and chairs allows younger kids to draw and play indoors, while the private pool and large enclosed lawn are perfect for outdoor fun in a safe environment. After a day of exploring, children can unwind on the large sofa with satellite TV.
The quiet village of Muline is very family-friendly, with restaurants catering to children and a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Teens can enjoy diving excursions from the local centre, exploring underwater wrecks and marine life. For a fun family day out, rent bikes from nearby Preko and explore Ugljan's cycling routes, which range in difficulty.
With over 20km of coastline, Ugljan has plenty of beaches to discover. Popular spots like sandy Jaz Beach and Batalaža Beach, with its seafront promenade, cafés and ice cream shops, are ideal for families.
Just five minutes away, the island’s oldest village offers Roman and medieval ruins and renowned fish restaurants. A ferry trip to Zadar makes for a perfect family outing – visit the Sea Organ and the Sun Salutation for unforgettable, child-friendly experiences.
