Bibinje: quiet on the water, in the heart of Dalmatia.

The house stands in Bibinje, a quiet coastal village just south of Zadar. The sea lies right in front of the house, with views of the islands. The drive to Zadar's old town takes about 15 minutes.

44.058° N · 15.288° E · Bibinje, Zadarska županija

A village that grew naturally on the coast.

Bibinje is a coastal village with a promenade, a few konobas and small shops. Croatians spend their own holidays here. Fishing boats sit in the harbour and in the evening you hear dinner plates clatter in the gardens.

You live quietly and right on the water. The bakery and supermarket are still in the village, and Zadar is just around the corner.
