Luxury holidays in Dugi Otok

Unspoilt silence coats the secluded Croatian island of Dugi Otok and offers a welcome contrast to the bustle of its neighbouring city, Zadar. Fittingly translated to ‘long island’, Dugi Otok’s 45-kilometre coastline is bordered by cobalt blue bays, sun-bleached shores, and sultry salt lakes. Stay in the southeastern town of Sali, set against the island’s dramatic cliffs, for a prime diving destination; or venture further north to Božava for a stroll through the encircling pine trees and a snooze on the snow-white sands of Sakarun beach.
