Main image

Premuda is a small Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea, administered as part of Zadar County. It is a low-density, rural island known for a quiet atmosphere and coastal scenery.

The island offers rocky coastlines, small harbours and a handful of village clusters with local housing and basic services. Outdoor activities mainly include swimming from small beaches and exploring coastal paths; diving and boat trips from nearby islands are common ways to access the surrounding sea.

Premuda has been populated periodically over centuries and has shared the historical influences typical of the Dalmatian coast, including periods under Venetian and later regional administrations. Settlement size has fluctuated, and today the island maintains a small resident population.

Premuda lies off Croatia’s northern Dalmatian coast in the Adriatic Sea and is part of the Zadar archipelago. It is reached by local ferry or private boat from the Zadar region.

  • Limited services: Facilities on the island are limited; visitors should plan transport and supplies in advance.
