Ilirija Resort Hotel Adriatic
Twenty metres from a blue-flag beach in Biograd
About this hotel
Ilirija Resort Hotel Adriatic sits just 20 metres from a blue-flag pebbly, sandy and concrete beach in Biograd na Moru, close enough that a swim before or after Dalmaland is barely a detour. Every room offers a sea view, and the beach itself provides natural shade, sun loungers and parasols for rent alongside toilets and changing rooms, so a beach day here needs almost no extra planning. The hotel's à la carte restaurant serves Dalmatian dishes like pašticada with gnocchi, a step up from a standard buffet for parents who want an actual meal out without leaving the property. Its bed bar, a first in Croatia by the hotel's own account, runs themed evenings and cocktails for parents once the kids are settled. Jet ski hire, canoeing, diving and paragliding are all available nearby for older kids or teens wanting something beyond the water park's own slides.

Our take
Ilirija Resort Hotel Adriatic scores 8.0 from 660 reviews with sea-view rooms 20 metres from a blue-flag beach in Biograd na Moru, an à la carte restaurant serving Dalmatian dishes and a bed bar with themed evenings. Jet ski and diving are available nearby for older children. I would choose it for families who will spend their evenings on the beach after Dalmaland; those wanting a hotel pool or spa should look elsewhere.
- ✓Book a sea-view room specifically if the beach view matters, since every room offers one but layouts vary.
- ✓Reserve an à la carte restaurant table ahead in peak season, since it fills faster than the standard buffet option.
- ✓Ask about jet ski or diving activities early in your stay, since summer slots with local operators book up quickly.
