Šibenik Riviera – Vacation Rentals, Beaches & Islands

A lively center surrounded by peaceful villages

Admire the Cathedral of St. James in Šibenik during the day and dance to the sounds of the Terraneo Festival in the evening. Enjoy the sea on the beautiful beaches of Žablaće, Brodarica or Žaborić, or soak up the colors of the archipelago and the sparkling Adriatic on Krapanj. Whether relaxing by the sea or enjoying an active holiday in the Mediterranean hills of the hinterland, the Šibenik Riviera captivates visitors with its rich history, cultural heritage, natural beauty and vibrant events. A wide selection of holiday apartments, vacation homes, studios and rooms allows guests to stay right where their holiday interests are.

At the heart of the Riviera lies Šibenik, located in a sheltered bay at the mouth of the Krka River. The surrounding landscape is ideal for active holidays with hiking tours to the waterfalls of Krka National Park, rafting adventures or panoramic views from the Šibenik bridge. At the same time, the city impresses with UNESCO-listed landmarks such as the Cathedral of St. James, historic alleys, lively markets and excellent restaurants. Accommodation in Šibenik and its surroundings offers short distances to sights, beaches and cultural events.

Just outside the city lies Jadrija, a popular seaside resort with a historic lighthouse and beautiful bathing spots. Apartments and holiday homes in Jadrija are especially popular with guests who want to combine beach life with proximity to the old town.

Excursions to idyllic islands

Quiet coastal villages such as Grebaštica enchant visitors with sheltered bays and peaceful beaches. The Solaris holiday complex between Žablaće and Brodarica offers an aquapark, marina and family-friendly infrastructure. From here, boat trips lead to the Kornati National Park, one of the most attractive sailing areas in Croatia. Holiday accommodations near marinas are ideal for boat owners and island explorers.

The nearby island of Krapanj, known for its long tradition of sponge diving, and the coastal village of Brodarica offer charming stone houses, modern villas and excellent restaurants. Žablaće and Žaborić guarantee a quiet, relaxing holiday with gently sloping beaches. Private holiday rentals in these villages are perfect for guests seeking peace and authenticity.

Between green hills and deep gorges

The surrounding region is rich in natural attractions such as Lake Vrana, Paklenica National Park and picturesque coastal towns like Pirovac, Primošten and Šparadići. Thanks to the central location of the Šibenik Riviera, vacation rentals here provide an excellent base for excursions throughout Dalmatia, from Zadar to Split.
