Rogoznica suits couples and small groups who want a sheltered bay and a small village, about half an hour's drive from Split airport. Most homes are small, built for two to four, so larger parties should look elsewhere.
Rogoznica is a small village set in a deep bay sheltered from the wind in the southernmost part of Šibenik-Knin County. The mainland settlement was populated by 1390, and in 1518 its residents fled an advancing Ottoman army to a nearby islet. The Dragon's Eye, a lake tied to the legend of the dragon Murin, is the sight people look for. Our homes sit in a tight group around the village, nearly all with air conditioning and a few with a private pool. Outside summer, check opening times for restaurants and boat trips before you plan around them.

The city about 30 km from Rogoznica, worth the trip for a wider choice of shops and restaurants than the village offers.
The small island just off the mainland village where residents took refuge from an advancing Ottoman army in 1518.
From Split airport it is around 34 minutes by car. The bus from the airport takes about two and a half hours, so a hire car is the better plan. For a bigger town, Šibenik is about 30 km away.
July and August are the warmest months, and rain is rare, so sunshine is reliable and so is the heat. Nearly all homes here have air conditioning. Spring and autumn are cooler and quieter, and that is when to confirm what is open, from restaurants to boat trips, before you book.

A minority do, and most are small, built for two to four people. Filter your search for a pool if it matters to you.
July and August are the warmest months and the likeliest peak, and this is a small village rather than a resort town. Homes here are mostly small, so check availability early for the school holidays.
Yes. The village sits in a deep bay sheltered from the wind, which helps on breezy days at the water.
