Home/Where to stay/Nin/4- and 5-star hotels
4- and 5-star hotels in Nin
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels in Nin, the historic Dalmatian town on Croatia's coast. Every property here is a 5-star villa or holiday home, most with pools, and the list is drawn from addresses across Nin and the coastal settlement of Zaton.
Staying in Nin
Nin is a small coastal town built around a historic peninsula with narrow streets, an old town of ancient churches, salt pans and sandy beaches including Queen's Beach. It sits about 15 kilometers northwest of Zadar, so it works both as a quiet seaside base and as a starting point for exploring the wider Dalmatian coast. Visitors come for swimming, cycling, the lagoon and nearby birdwatching sites, and the atmosphere stays relaxed compared with the larger city.
The properties on this shortlist sit in three clusters. Several are on or beside the central peninsula, on Obala Kralja Petra Kresimira I and Put Materize, a short distance from the old town and the main beaches. Others lie slightly inland at Zaton Sridnji Put and Zatonskih Stanova, in the direction of Zaton and its holiday resorts. These villas suit families and couples who want private space, kitchens, terraces and private pools, and they work well for a short break, since most guests will want a car or bicycle for the surrounding area.
