This post is also available in: Croatian

The charming Dalmatian resort Privlaka is situated on a large and flat, sandy peninsula.
The place is known for the people who used to dig the sand from the sea -sabunjari. They
were the ones that built the white town of Zadar (a 15 minutes’ drive away) after World
War II. and have left a deep mark in the lives of the people of Privlaka.

The crystal sand is not just a symbol, but also the key attraction of this destination.
Beautiful beaches, combined with warm and clean sea, are the best invitation for tourists,
so Privlaka is often visited by families with children. Besides the family, it is also suitable
for medical tourism, since, apart from pure and fresh sea air, it boasts the healing black
mud of exceptional quality!

If you’re a fan of cultural attractions, visit the Romanesque church of Sv. Vid from the 14th
century and the parish church of St.Mary-one of the finest examples of Neoclassical
architecture. In case you like active vacation, an attractive bike trail is available, while a
well equipped water sports center is right next to the Sabunike tourist resort.

Don’t miss out on the fun in Privlaka- the key event is the traditional festival called
“Privlačka Night” (4.08). Thanks to the entertaining cultural program that includes
performances by famous musicians and a rich tasting, it became recognizable in the wider
area of the county. If you like to take part in cultural events, visit the performances of KUD
“Privlaka” and “Libar” women’s choir. Experience a typical Dalmatian atmosphere in this
desert rose-like place, made from sand, smell of the sea and folk songs!
