The island of Lavdara is a hidden gem of the Zadar archipelago, located just off the northeastern coast of Dugi Otok, in the immediate vicinity of the Proversa Pass and the island of Pašman. If you are looking for a place where time stands still, Lavdara is the right address.
Here is a brief overview of this special island:
1. An island without electricity and water
Lavdara is a true paradise for lovers of Robinsonist tourism. The island has no electricity or water supply. The houses (mostly former fishermen's homes) use solar energy for lighting and gas for cooking, and water is pumped from tanks (cisterns). This means a complete disconnection from digital noise and a return to nature.
2. Nature and crystal clear sea
The island is about 3 kilometers long and covered with low Mediterranean vegetation, pine trees and olive trees. Thanks to its location at the entrance to the Kornati National Park, the sea around Lavdara is incredibly clean, transparent and full of life, which puts the island on the map of all passionate divers and sailors.
3. Peace that is hard to find elsewhere
There are no cars, shops or noisy discos on the island. The only sounds that will accompany you are the cicadas, the sound of the waves and the occasional engine of a passing boat. Most visitors are people who have been returning to the island for decades to enjoy the privacy of its small concrete or rocky piers.
Why visit Lavdara?
- Complete privacy: Ideal for couples or families who want to be self-sufficient.
- Proximity to the Kornati Islands: A great starting point for exploring the national park.
- Ecological awareness: Living in harmony with the resources provided by nature.
Tip:
If you are going to Lavdara, do not forget to bring all the necessary supplies of food and drinks, as you will have to take a boat to Sala on Dugi Otok or across the channel to Pašman to shop.
