Obonjan is a 136-acre private island in central Dalmatia, a short 20-minute speedboat ride from the historic town of Šibenik, where pine and olive groves meet the warm Adriatic. Once uninhabited, the island has been transformed into a Mediterranean glamping resort that pairs soulful, design-led living with a full calendar of wellness, music, and gastronomy. Open for the summer season from July 11 to August 31, with all other dates reserved for group requests, Obonjan welcomes couples, families with children, and even four-legged companions. It is a car-free world of hidden coves, forest trails, and rocky beaches, equally suited to quiet reconnection and high-energy celebration.
Accommodations & Design
The design language is sustainable chic: low-impact materials, minimalist interiors, and architecture that settles into the rocky terrain. Island Homes are spacious, eco-conscious, family-friendly houses; Glamping Lodges pair unique design with private bathrooms, air conditioning, and wooden terraces facing the sunrise over the sea; O-Tents reimagine classic camping for true nature lovers with modern fittings and air conditioning; and the Obonjan Horizon Loft hosts up to four guests in the front row by the water. All 250 units are air-conditioned with free wifi across the island.
Amenities & Inclusions
The island is a complete lifestyle hub. Seven dining and drinking venues span The Kitchen, Bok, Drift, the Pizza Bar, The Pavilion, the Burger Bar, and the Sundowner Bar, serving Dalmatian and international flavors from fresh seafood to wood-fired pizza. Days fill with yoga, fitness classes, massages, kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, and a lively animation program, alongside dedicated kids' activities and island adventures. Two main rocky beaches plus countless rustic coves, an outdoor seawater swimming pool with parasols and lounging terraces, and open-air wellness decks complete the picture. The official "Zvjezdica" boat runs between Šibenik port and the island three times daily in season, and medical staff are on hand throughout the season for complete peace of mind.
How Private Is This Island?
Privacy at Obonjan is defined by expansive exclusivity. While the island can host up to 866 guests, its 136-acre footprint gives every group room to find its own territory, from social hubs to total solitude in hidden coves. The island is strictly off-limits to non-resort guests, and with no traffic and no city rush, the atmosphere stays serene. For weddings, corporate summits, and creative retreats, a full buyout delivers absolute sovereignty over the entire island, its venues, and its beaches, making Obonjan one of Europe's most distinctive private event settings.
