Welcome to Privlaka — A True Paradise for Families

Located approximately 18 kilometers from Zadar in northern Dalmatia, the charming village of Privlaka is home to around 2,300 inhabitants and has earned its reputation as one of the best family-friendly destinations on the Croatian coast.

Sandy Beaches with Exceptionally Shallow Waters

What makes Privlaka truly special for families is its remarkable beaches. The sandy shores feature incredibly shallow waters — just 50 to 60 centimeters deep — extending more than 120 meters from the shore. This means children can play and splash safely while parents relax, making it a genuine paradise for families with young kids.

Everything You Need

Despite its peaceful atmosphere, Privlaka offers all the amenities visitors need for a comfortable holiday:

  • Pubs, restaurants, and bars serving local and international cuisine
  • Mini markets for daily essentials
  • Water parks for family fun
  • Football fields for sports enthusiasts
  • Boat rentals for exploring the coastline

Nearby Nin — A World of Discovery

Just a short drive from Privlaka lies the ancient town of Nin, offering a wealth of experiences:

  • Kite surfing — Nin is one of the top kite surfing spots in Croatia
  • Healing mud — the famous Nin mud baths, known for their therapeutic properties
  • Church of the Holy Cross — often called the smallest cathedral in the world, with a circumference of just 40 meters, this architectural gem also functions as a sundial
  • Roman ruins — traces of Nin's ancient past as the important Roman city of Aenona
  • Salt pans — traditional salt production that has been practiced here for centuries

Whether you're seeking quiet relaxation on pristine beaches or cultural exploration in one of Croatia's most historic towns, Privlaka and its surroundings deliver an unforgettable experience.
