Essential accessories for your holiday in Zadar region

Zadar region here we come! But before setting off, remember to make a list of all the things that make your holiday not only great but fabulous. Be it a must-have piece of clothing or the latest gadget, make sure your essential accessories are all set for your holiday in Zadar region.

Beach & pool essentials

Enjoy your stay at the beach and the pools to the fullest! The sheltered beach at Zaton Holiday Resort is partially pebbly and sandy with access for people with disabilities, and it offers plenty of natural shade under the pine trees. It is also quite spacious, allowing you to find just the right spot to drop your beach gear and to set up your pop-up shade tent right on the shore.(Note: rental loungers and sun umbrellas are also available both on the beach and the pool complex.)

Besides towels, appropriate beach footwear and swimwear, don’t forget snorkelling gear, sand & water toys for fun times at sea with family and friends. Also, pick your inflatable ‘flavour’ of the year or hop on an SUP-board for extra water excitement. A cooler bag for basic refreshments and fruit is a great idea as well, so that you don’t have to rush back to your accommodation unit when feeling thirsty. (Note: there are also several beach bars where you can also find your favourite summer refreshment). Still, an absolute must-have is sun protection in any form you see fit - sun cream, hats and protective clothing, sunglasses, after-sun lotions.

Fun & leisure essentials

Love your music, love a good book? Then don’t forget to bring along your earbuds or speakers, your Kindle or a favourite piece of summer reading. Then find a nice spot such as the eco-points at the resort and just treat yourself to carefree moments. Why not also have a good time over a board game of your choice or a set of cards on the terrace of your accommodation unit? Most importantly, don’t forget to check out the daily entertainment program upon arrival at the resort and join in the good times at the resort, be it at the open-air theatre or the central beach.

Sport essentials

Getting ready for some action on holiday and plan to actively explore the region? Then it is advisable to put your sportswear and accessories on the packing list. After all, in order to go hiking up the mountain in Paklenica National Park or go for a run along the trim track at the resort, you definitely need a good set of footwear. Still, there are various pieces of equipment you can rent on the spot, including bikes, scooters, golf clubs, tennis rackets, balls, and more.

Gadgets & general travel essentials

Say ‘seaaaaaa’! If you happen to be a hobbyist photographer, make sure your camera with the pertaining equipment is packed as well. Surely you’ll want to make a record of your amazing stay in the Zadar region? So, don’t forget your electronic devices, chargers and a power bank, not to mention a selfie stick or underwater camera.

Also, note that travelling to Croatia has somewhat changed as of 2023. Namely, the country now forms part of the border-free Schengen area, and the euro is the official currency. In other words, you no longer have to time your arrival according to possible traffic jams on border crossings. Similarly, you needn’t consider currency exchange, particularly if your country of origin is also within the euro-zone. Indeed, travelling to Croatia has never been easier, so make your checklist, pack your bags and set off into your very own Adriatic adventure in the Zadar region!
