Vodice and Tribunj suit families wanting a private pool near a resort town and a quieter peninsula village, about 3 km apart. Day trips to Šibenik or Zadar are easiest by car.
Vodice is a resort town of around 8,600 people in a wide bay, about 11 km north-west of Šibenik, with a view across to the island of Prvić. Tribunj lies about 3 km further north-west on a small peninsula joined to the mainland by an old stone bridge, and is known for its waterfront cafes. Named beaches in Vodice include Hexagon on the Punta peninsula and Hangari. Our homes are grouped within a short stretch, most with a private pool and all with air conditioning, and many sleep around five. In the evening Vodice hosts klapa concerts on summer Wednesdays. Outside summer, check opening times.
