Staying on one of Croatia’s idyllic islands is a bucket list ticket for any traveller, and Ugljan is definitely a good choice! Located a short 25 - minute boat journey across the Zadar Channel, you are just a stone throw from all the sites and natural wonders of the mainland, yet as you settle into island life, the hectic tourist cities feel a million miles away. Ugljan is a green, mountainous island carpeted with olive groves and dotted with small fishing ports. Villa Spoleto sits on the waterfront, near to the fishing town of Sutomišćica, just a short drive from the island’s biggest town of Ugljan. While Sutomišćica is quiet and tranquil, perfect for relaxing family holidays, enjoying peace and privacy with your loved ones, Ugljan is slightly busier. Ugljan is the oldest settlement on the island and contains remnants of the late Roman to early Christian era for you to explore, as well as the best of the islands’ restaurants for you to try! The fast - flowing Zadar Channel means this tranquil island has some of the cleanest seawater in Croatia, mix this with the beautiful sandy shores and luscious greenery, this location becomes an outdoor lovers dream. The eastern side of the island is busier with visitors and locals, while the western side sits mostly uninhabited, with steep, rugged cliffs dropping down into the sea. The island has become particularly popular for Zadar residents, who come to enjoy the beaches, bike paths and hiking trails. If you enjoy outdoor adventures, then this is definitely the spot for you, with something for all abilities. You can easily rent a bike from Preko, less than a 10 - minute drive from the villa. From here a coastal path runs from Preko to Kukljica, so you can cycle along, taking in the best of the views and stopping here and there to enjoy cold ice creams or refreshing drinks! Bike paths also run from Ugljan to the more remote western side of the island. You can pick up a map of the islands hiking trails from one of the tourist offices, heading out to explore on foot!
