Beautiful resort and a view. Great for kids, they have a park and a nice caffee bar. Food could honestly be better, like more choices, but apart from that resort is great. Overall very nice.
The location was fabulous in a very quiet bay where church bells from across the water wake you up in the morning and a fresh pastry comes every morning in a bakery van. Sakarun beach is just 5 minutes drive from there. Rooms were well equipped, with great view from the balcony and AC (if needed). We were three adults with a dog and we had no space issues. Possibility to use sea kayaks free of charge was a great advantage as you can reach some nice spots outside the bay. A restaurant with a great rating is a part of the accomodation so you do not need to go far to dine on local specialties. There is also a shop where you can buy groceries although the prices were quite high.
The house has an amazing view on the bay with the little church. Cat friendly place, there are a bunch of friendly felines all around the town. And the owners are wonderfully friendly - I left my documents with the big rush to the ferry and they were kind enough to send them back to me within a few days.
This is a beautiful, old school building. There is charm, old tradition and a sense of bohemian flair in the air. Very simple accommodation, simple rooms, shared nice bathroom and shower. Very nice people.

Awesome apartment, super well equipped for a family stay, great location, very nice and responsive hosts.
Also, one of the most comfortable beds I ever slept in in a rental.
A small village with everything you need. We went to beaches all over the island. The advantage of Sali is the nearby national park Telascica.
There was also an exceptional restaurant in Sali called Garoful. I highly recommend a visit.

Little village full of nice people that are greeting you every time they see you. 2 stores, Studenac is well equipped. Nice beaches, enough space for everybody, so you feel like there is nobody with you. Super clean and clear sea, beautiful blue and green colors. 4 restaurants, all kinds of food for everybody. A lot of cats 😊
Super calm place for vacation without any compromise.

As much as Luka is very Tourist dependent, it has a rich culture of locals who return for the summers. This makes it a very Croatian village with a ton of charm. Eat at the Konoba (really good food!) or at home (the village market has a reasonable selection and better prices than the nearest grocery store), swim anywhere, bring a book - the internet and cell coverage is spotty - and relax!

A lovely village with a small grocery shop, marina (renting bicycles and scooters), two restaurants and good paths for a stroll. Both the lighthouse and the Sakarun beach are within a walkable distance.

Zman and other small villages on the island of Dugi Otok were the perfect getaway from the busy city life. Nature all around. Local slow village life. You need to rent a car to get around comfortably around the island. We mostly made our own food in the apartment.

A small village slightly descending to the harbor.
A small village slightly descending to the harbor. It has 2 restaurants - Gorgonia and Branco and one small grocery. In near proximity there is a nice small camping Madarino also with a good restaurant. The location of Verunić is good for exploring the northern tip of the Dugi Otok island. All the sea around this village is rather sheltered from the outer ocean so it is coinvenient for swimming and paddleboarding. All interesting sites (Sakarun beach, the lighthouse...) are within few kilometers by car or bicycle and you need not to conquer steep slopes. Of course, to get there you need to take a ferry Zadar (Gaženica) - Brbinj (approx. 1.5hrs) and then drive some 15km North. So this is extra cost/time to the trip and you need to adjust to the timetable. In high season it might be practical to pre-book the ferry at jadrolinia.hr.

Sali is probably the best base to use on the island.
Sali is probably the best base to use on the island. It has a ferry to Zadar three times a day, loads (maybe 5 or 6) restaurants, a sizable supermarket and quite a few cafe's and taverns.
It also has a helpful tourist office where you can rent cars or scooters, although these are not cheap. The only petrol station on the island is in the next village about 4kms away.
Talascia NP is a 5 minute drive away from the town and well worth a day trip.
All the beaches are shingle and aren't really beaches, just little coves.
The very best is half way up the island and directly across on the opposite side of the island to Brbinj. Very difficult to find without google maps set to satellite mode which shows the actual concrete access road.
A one hour drive will take you the full length of the island.

Quiet coastal village with harbour on Dugi Otok.
Quiet coastal village with harbour on Dugi Otok. Has 3 reasonable restaurants, 1 shop, 2 hotels and a daily passenger ferry from Zadar. It is only about 2km across the island to sandy Sakarun beach and other nearby places. There is also a daily bus that connects Bozava with Veli Rat and Brbinj that has a car ferry to Zadar. Getting around the island is a bit limiting unless you hire a car on the mainland and bring it over on the ferry.

Very nice, cozy place.
Very nice, cozy place. We ate dinner couple of times in Cookhouse & Bar GAROFUL. It is nice place to have a meal with beautiful sea view. From Sali it is very easy to get to other part of the Long island, and to organize nice boat trip to Kornati national park and Telascica nature park. All in all, I was quite impressed with Sali and Long island in general with all that beauty and big blue I saw around. It is worth of visiting at least once in your life time. Strongly recommended! :-)

Dober dan! We had such a wonderful stay in Bozava!
Dober dan! We had such a wonderful stay in Bozava! The staff was wonderful, the breakfast was exceptional, the rooms were nice with a beautiful view of the sea and the village. The beds were very comfortable, clean room and the grounds were very well maintained. The restaurant's in the village were quaint with exceptional menus, food and service. The people in the village were kind and welcoming and we are already planning a return visit. The church service on Sunday was divine. The tour around the island was breathtaking. This visit exceeded all my expectations of my first of many visits to the island of Dugi Otok! Well done Bozava! What a gem!! Magnifico!
