Set in the clear waters of the Pašman Channel along the Dalmatian Coast, Mala Bisaga is an ultra-exclusive, 1.8-hectare private island that operated for years as an unlisted private family estate. Newly opened to commercial hire, the island caters to UHNW travelers, family offices, and yacht clientele seeking an authentic European island sanctuary, entirely to themselves. Every stay runs on a single-group buyout model, with discreet, fully staffed hospitality led by an on-call island host and a personal skipper.
The island is also a superb base for exploring the Dalmatian coast. Kornati National Park, an archipelago of over a hundred islands, lies just 30 to 40 minutes away by boat, while the waterfalls and nature trails of Krka National Park are about 40 minutes distant. The historic city of Zadar, with its Roman and Venetian old town, makes an easy mainland excursion.

How Private Is This Island?
Privacy at Mala Bisaga is absolute and uncompromised. The entire 1.8-hectare island is rented exclusively to one party at a time, completely closed to outside tourists, public boaters, or day-pass visitors. The villa is screened by mature olive trees, stone retaining walls, and maritime pines, preventing sightlines from passing vessels. With off-island mainland parking and a dedicated private skipper on standby for up to three transfers daily, guests maintain total autonomy over who steps foot on the island.
