Torretta Palace Hotel  

In the historic centre of Turanj (Sveti Filip i Jakov) on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, this 4-star beach hotel sits just 70 metres from a pebbly beach and the Lungomare promenade. It’s a short drive to Ilirija Aquatic Center and Marina Kornati, with Zadar Airport about 20 km away and easy access to the Pašman Channel and nearby towns like Zadar, Biograd and Šibenik.

Housed in a protected, historic building with modern-style rooms, Torretta Palace offers 24 air-conditioned rooms with minibars, satellite/flat-screen TV, safes and daily housekeeping. Expect a clean, contemporary vibe and a sun deck for strolling; the hotel sits amid Turanj’s old defensive towers and seaside charm.

Make waves with an outdoor pool, hot tub and on-site spa services, or rent bicycles, mopeds and scooters to explore the coast. There’s a diving club, picnic area, library and 24-hour front desk; airport shuttle is available for a surcharge and free self-parking is on site. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and easy access to the Lungomare walking route.

A conference hall and meeting facilities serve business guests, plus complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the hotel and monitored parking with video surveillance for added peace of mind.

The on-site restaurant serves breakfast and Mediterranean dishes—local fish, meat and vegetarian specialties—either in the air-conditioned dining room or on the outdoor terrace. Finish the day with a cocktail at the bar/lounge.
