Villa Hrešć

Overlooking Maestral Bay a ten-minute walk from town, this is by far the best mid-range option for comfort in Zadar. The suites are suitable for two to four guests, six at a push for a nominal extra fee. More like condominiums, they comprise a living room, kitchenette, dining room, bedroom and a modern bathroom with a marble washbasin, all capacious, all immaculately furnished – and all overlooking the sea. The larger ones have a terrace; the largest one has a terrace the size of half a football pitch. The view is stunning, the same line of vision from the outdoor pool with its fierce water jet in the corner. There’s a decent terrace restaurant here too, where non-guests also tuck into good Med fare.
