Location
About the surrounding area of Villa LillaVilla Lilla is located in the small town of Pridraga, primarily used as a spot to take a quick breather and enjoy a little peace and quiet - and perhaps a light snack - before heading off to the more popular city destinations of Zadar or Split.
In Split you’ll find the famous Bacvice Beach - popular thanks to its long sandy shallows and its close proximity to the city centre, where you can grab a beverage or do a spot of shopping. Another fascinating attraction to visit if you’re in the area is St. Domnius Cathedral, the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world, completed in the 7th century AD. For the best views of the city visitors will want to climb the Bell Tower and drink in the stunning panoramic views.
If you’re starting to think you might have seen this city somewhere before, you’re not mistaken - Split is a favourite destination for Game of Thrones fans, where you’ll recognise several famous locations from the popular TV show. Official tours are available - although you’ll want to book in early to avoid the crowds.This buzzing and exuberant city blends modern and traditional styles, and is the perfect place to visit if you want some contrast to the sleepier towns and villages along the Dalmatian Coast. Inside the impressive Roman monument of Diocletian’s Palace you’ll find dozens of bars, restaurants, and shops to visit, and down at the bustling waterfront you will find fresh seafood served daily.
Zadar, another popular tourist spot, is another must-see, if only for the impressive Sea Organ and Greeting To The Sun installations. Designed by Nikola Basic in 2005, the Sea Organ features 35 organ pipes which emit otherworldly tones that are determined by the size and frequency of the waves. The ‘Greeting To The Sun’ installation features 300 multi-layered glass plates set in a circle and is also synchronised with the waves. After dark you’ll be treated to a beautiful light show, as solar modules spring into life at sunset, and simulate our solar system. It really is a sight to behold.

Region
The Zadar region, anchored by the vibrant city of Zadar, boasts a rich history, breathtaking natural beauty, and a cultural tapestry that dates back millennia. Situated along Croatia's stunning Dalmatian coast, and shaped by the dramatic Velebit mountain range, Zadar is a unique destination offering a captivating array of experiences.
Zadar city is known for its ancient Roman ruins, white sand beach, and rugged coastline. Take a wander through the world of the Old Town's labyrinthine streets, which are a wonder to explore, brimming with historical treasures. Make sure to stop at the Church of St. Donatus, an architectural masterpiece and a prominent example of Byzantine construction and one of the most famous pre-Romanesque churches in Croatia.
Zadar's architectural prowess isn't limited to its historical buildings; it also embraces modern art installations. The Sea Organ, designed by architect Nikola Bašić, is an ingenious creation consisting of underwater pipes and chambers that produce hauntingly beautiful sounds as the waves of the Adriatic Sea wash over it. It's a serene place to watch the sunset, often accompanied by an equally impressive light show from the nearby Greeting to the Sun installation, which comes alive with vibrant colours after dusk.
The city's waterfront promenade, dotted with cafes, bars, and restaurants, provides the perfect setting for relaxed evenings. You can pass away the hours while savouring a leisurely meal and enjoying the sea views with watch boats sailing past. Don't forget to sample the local cuisine, which includes fresh seafood, pasticada (a traditional beef stew), and the world-famous Pag cheese. Pair your meal with a glass of local wine or rakija, a strong fruit brandy, to complete the culinary experience.
The Zadar region is renowned for its proximity to a collection of stunning islands, each with its own unique character. Ugljan, often referred to as the "Green Island," is known for its lush vegetation and charming fishing villages. The island offers a serene escape from the bustle of city life, with numerous opportunities for hiking, cycling, and exploring unspoiled beaches.
Dugi Otok, or the "Long Island," is a true gem of unspoiled natural beauty. The island is known for its rugged coastline, pristine coves, and the famous Saharun Beach, with its white sands and crystalclear waters. It’s also home to Telascica Nature Park, a protected area that encompasses stunning cliffs, saltwater lakes, and a diverse range of flora and fauna.
Back on the mainland, and just a couple of hours out of the city you’ll find one of the most renowned natural attractions in Croatia, Plitvice Lakes. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the park is a land of cascading waterfalls, interconnected emerald lakes, and lush forests, with a network of well-maintained trails that guide visitors through this natural wonder. Wooden boardwalks allow you to get up close to the waterfalls, making it a family-friendly destination.
The Zadar region offers more than just natural beauty. The local markets, such as Zadar's Green Market, provide an opportunity to immerse yourself in Croatian culture. Here, you can explore stalls filled with fresh produce, local crafts, and artisanal products, experiencing the flavours and craftsmanship of the region. Zadar is also home to a variety of unique traditions and cultural festivals. Local celebrations, like the annual regatta of traditional boats or performances of 'Klapa' a cappella singing are both integral parts of the region's cultural identity.
The Zadar region is a microcosm of Croatia's diverse and enchanting way of life, with something to offer everyone that visits. It's a place where history, nature, and culture converge to create a harmonious and multifaceted destination. Whether you're hiking through national parks, swimming near waterfalls, exploring ancient cities, or savouring traditional cuisine, the Zadar region promises an unforgettable experience for all. To visit Zadar is to step into the heart of Croatia and experience its multifaceted charm.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesParents staying at Villa Lilla will be glad of the fully enclosed yard, where the children can play in relative safety. There are no steps or raised areas to worry about, but please be aware that the pool area is completely open with no fence or barrier, so small children will need to be well supervised. There is not a lot on the way of sights in the village, but the villa is located near to the popular city of Split, where you’ll find plenty of family-friendly activities to enjoy. The perfect antidote to the quieter village atmosphere of Pridraga, Split has a bustling, cosmopolitan vibe that the whole family will enjoy.
It is here you’ll find the famous Bacvice Beach - nestled deep within a cove and always popular with those travelling with children thanks to its long sandy shallows, small waves and its close proximity to the city centre, where you can grab a beverage or do a spot of shopping when the kids are tired of building sand castles.
Chances are you and the kids will encounter a festival or two during your visit to Split as the city hosts events all year round, so you’re sure to find something exciting! The Croatia Boat Show and Festival of Flowers held in April and May are particularly popular, as is the Split Summer Festival which is held from mid July to mid August and features concerts, marionette theatre shows, modern dance and ballet shows. These events can get busy, so a little forward planning might be in order, but the kids are sure to enjoy immersing themselves in a new culture and seeing something a little different.
If you fancy taking the kids to do something a little bit more quirky, take a trip to the towering Gregorius of Nin statue in Split Old Town. The children are bound to be entranced by its sheer size, and legend has it that rubbing his big toe will bring good luck - so it’s well worth a go, even if just for a laugh and a cute photo for Instagram!
