Zaton Holiday Resort: New pool complex in 2025

Zaton Holiday Resort is one of the best campsites in the Zadar region and also holds the ADAC Superplatz title for 2025, making it one of the top 200 campsites in Europe. A new swimming pool complex with a children’s pool, water playgrounds and large water slides has been announced for next year.

The resort is located on a sandy beach, 12 km north of Zadar and offers excellent services and facilities: from entertainment to sports and gastronomy. The campsite is open from mid-April to mid-October.

New water fun

Families love the swimming pools at Zaton Holiday Resort. Currently there are pools near the sea, so the new pool complex at the upper part of the campsite (near the tennis center) will be another great addition to the campsite. Alongside the large pool of a unique shape there will also be a children’s pool with water games and two large water slides which will make teenagers pumped with adrenaline since they lacked some real excitement until now. In total, there will be an additional 2,500 m2 of water surface, including a 300 m2 children’s pool. Another important information for the late spring and early fall: The water in the pools will be heated.

All this is an improvement of an already extensive offer of heated swimming pools. The existing pool complex close to the sea and the sandy beach measures about 2,500 m2. The pools have various depths so that everyone can enjoy them, and swimming lessons are available in the summer season. There is also a spray park with water games and one of the pools has hydro-massage benches. Last year, adult pools (16+) were added within the Ventula Lounge on the beach, which includes two heated swimming pools on the first floor, plus a bar and a restaurant.

Wide choice of accommodation options

On the right side of the Zaton Holiday Resort you’ll find well-equipped camping pitches with electricity, water and drainage, and also five modern sanitary facilities.

Last year, the mobile homes offer was updated, replacing older units with modern ones. There are two- and three-bedroom mobile homes for 4-6 people, with a large terrace. All of them are air-conditioned and fully equipped.

On the left side of the resort, near the beach, there are also apartments for 2 – 6 people.

Services and entertainment

The campsite boasts excellent animation, tailored to children of all ages, with numerous playgrounds, climbing frames, adventure mini golf, and in summer there are beach parties and various events and concerts taking place at the large event venue.

Active holiday enthusiasts will always find something to do. Campsite Zaton Holiday Resort has numerous sports facilities and courts for tennis, football, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, a jogging track, as well as boules and mini-golf courses.

In addition, they offer bike rental, SUP boards, kayaks, jet-ski, tube and banana rides and there is even a diving center. Another special feature is the equestrian center, where you can go horse riding around the campsite.

You can’t have fun on an empty stomach

The campsite offers diverse catering options, ranging from traditional Dalmatian to Italian food. The renovated Mercato restaurant allows you to order half-board while staying at the campsite,  and there are several beach bars and also the Craft Beer Garden pub.

In the Gradele restaurant you can enjoy grilled dishes right on the beach, and when the kids get hungry by the pool you can pop in the nearby fast food joint. There is also a burger restaurant and for a romantic dinner for two we recommend the Ventula Italian Restaurant & Lounge.
