Ilirija Resort Hotel Kornati
Central Biograd, fifty metres from the beach and the marina
About this hotel
Ilirija Resort Hotel Kornati sits in the centre of Biograd na Moru, just 50 metres from the beach and named after the Kornati National Park archipelago visible from the waterfront. Its restaurant, bar and café overlook the water, and rooms come air-conditioned with a flat-screen TV and minibar, some with a balcony or seating area. Guests can rent boats at the marina a few steps from reception, useful for booking a Kornati islands trip on a day the Dalmaland queues look long, and an on-site shop covers essentials without a walk into town. Deck chairs, parasols and sports equipment are available for rent at the beach, and tennis, cycling, horseback riding, beach volleyball and diving all run nearby. Zadar is 30 kilometres away and Krka National Park 56 kilometres, both realistic day-trip distances. The central, waterfront position makes this one of the most walkable bases on the whole list.
- Central location, 50 m to beach
- Marina and boat rental nearby
- Watersports on the doorstep
Our take
Ilirija Resort Hotel Kornati scores 8.3 from 850 reviews with a central Biograd location 50 metres from the beach, air-conditioned rooms with minibar, a waterfront restaurant and bar, an on-site shop and boat rental at the adjacent marina. I would choose it for families who want the beach, the marina and the town within a short walk, then drive out for their Dalmaland days.
- ✓Book a Kornati islands boat trip from the adjacent marina a day ahead in peak season, since slots fill fast.
- ✓Ask for a room with a balcony over the waterfront if that view matters, since not every category includes one.
- ✓Use the on-site shop for essentials rather than driving into town, since it covers most day-to-day needs.
