Hotel IN
Indoor pool and full wellness centre included
About this hotel
Hotel IN runs a genuine wellness centre with sauna, fitness room and its own indoor swimming pool, all included for hotel guests rather than sold as a paid add-on, which adds up on a trip already spending on Dalmaland tickets. The restaurant serves Mediterranean and international cuisine with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options at every meal, useful for mixed-diet groups who'd otherwise argue over where to eat after a park day. A minimarket, coffee shop and hot tub round out the leisure offer, and live music runs some evenings for parents who want a reason to stay on site. Bosana Beach is a three-minute walk, Kornati Marina three hundred metres, and Biograd Heritage Museum a nine-minute walk, all reachable without moving the car. Zadar Airport sits 22 kilometres out. The indoor pool in particular makes this one of the few properties on this list offering a genuine wet-weather backup to Dalmaland.
- Indoor pool and wellness centre
- Airport shuttle available
- Fitness centre on site
Our take
Hotel IN suits families who want a real indoor pool and wellness centre included rather than upsold, and mixed-diet groups will appreciate the restaurant's range. It's a strong wet-weather or shoulder-season pick given the indoor pool. Families chasing a beachfront room specifically should look elsewhere, since Hotel IN's main draw is the wellness centre rather than direct sea access.
- ✓Use the indoor pool on any day Dalmaland's outdoor season is closed or the weather turns, rather than skipping swimming entirely.
- ✓Book fitness centre or sauna slots ahead during July and August, since demand rises with the hotel's own occupancy.
- ✓Ask the restaurant about dietary options at check-in if travelling with a mixed-diet group, since the range is genuinely broad.

Why guests love itThe indoor pool at Hotel IN turned out to be the trip-saver on the one overcast day we had, when Dalmaland's outdoor slides felt like a bad idea. My daughter is gluten-free and the restaurant handled it without a fuss at every single meal, which made evenings far less stressful than usual. Bosana Beach was close enough for a quick swim most mornings before we even left for the park.
