For those of us flying out from Manchester or Liverpool, Croatia has become a firm favourite for its winning combination of Mediterranean sunshine, crystal-clear waters, and a laid-back pace of life. If you are looking for a break that offers both relaxation and the beauty of the Dalmatian coast, Zaton in the Dubrovnik-Neretva region is an excellent choice for a package holiday.

Zaton provides a refreshing alternative to the busier tourist hotspots, offering a peaceful atmosphere that is ideal for couples and families alike. It is the kind of place where you can switch off, enjoy the local climate, and experience the authentic charm of the Adriatic without being in the middle of a major city centre.

Where to stay in Zaton

Choosing the right accommodation is the cornerstone of any great holiday. In Zaton, you can find quality guesthouse options that provide a comfortable base for your stay. One notable option is Vila Curic, a 4-star guesthouse accommodation located in the Zaton area near Dubrovnik, Croatia, which offers a great level of comfort for those looking to explore the local coastline.

Beaches and the Zaton lifestyle

The beauty of Zaton lies in its natural setting. The coastline here is defined by small, pebbly coves and sheltered bays, which are perfect for cooling off in the sea after a morning in the sun. Because the waters are typically calm and clear, it is an inviting spot for swimming, snorkelling, or simply lounging with a good book. Unlike the larger, more crowded resorts, Zaton maintains a sense of space, making it a fantastic destination for families who want to keep an eye on the children while enjoying a bit of downtime.

Getting there and when to go

Getting to Zaton is relatively straightforward for British travellers. Flights from regional UK airports like Manchester or Liverpool land in the nearby area, followed by a convenient transfer to your resort. The best time to visit is during the shoulder months of May, June, and September, when the weather is warm and pleasant but the peak-season heat is slightly more manageable. If you prefer the height of the summer sun, July and August offer long, golden days that are perfect for those who want to maximise their time at the beach.

Food and things to do

Dining in Zaton is a highlight of any trip. You will find a range of local spots serving fresh Mediterranean fare, with an emphasis on locally caught seafood, olive oil, and fresh vegetables. It is the perfect environment for slow, long lunches and relaxed evening meals under the stars. For those who enjoy a bit of light activity, the area is ideal for gentle walks along the shoreline or exploring the local surroundings. The proximity of the region allows for easy day trips if you want to soak up some history or explore the famous old-town architecture nearby, ensuring you have the best of both worlds.

Who does Zaton suit?

• Couples looking for a romantic and quiet retreat.
• Families wanting a safe and relaxed environment by the sea.
