Zuljana is truly one of few unspoiled places left on earth.
A haven of peace and beauty nestled away in a picturesque bay on the Southern Croatian peninsula Peljesac.
Extensive pinewood forests reaching straight to the sea, gentle mountains and vineyards surround this little village of approximately 200 inhabitants.
The Locals are mostly occupied with fishing, wine growing, and olive oil production.

Our house is overlooking the bay from the tranquillity of the pinewoods, however the sea is only a 5 minutes walk away.

What makes this small village one of the most idyllic and unique places on the Adriatic Coast is that the bay is turned to the west, so we can enjoy every sun set to the full, watching the great red sun sinking slowly into the sea.
Zuljana has numerous sandy and pebbly beaches especially convenient for families because they are shallow and clean.

It is a perfect place for fishing, sailing, surfing and snorkelling.
Crystal clear sea, shipwrecks and coral reefs make diving in this area a special experience. There are two local diving clubs that offer diving tuition, hire out equipment and arrange dives.

Equally if you like hiking, you can enjoy hours of walking in unspoiled countryside, indulge the fragrances of wild herbs and experience the breathtaking views from St. Ivan with its peak at 900 m.
The local shop and market stalls sell everything you'll need, including organic fruit and vegetables, olive oil, honey and wines, all of which are locally produced. There are two restaurants, a pizzeria and a cafe.

In the village you also find an ambulance, a post office where you have the possibility to exchange money and a tourist office, to get more specific information, or to arrange excursions.

The medieval and historical town of Dubrovnik, "The pearl of the Adriatic" is an hour drive. On the way there you are passing the Arboretum Trsteno, a 500 years old botanical garden.

The National Park on the island Mljet is a 40 minutes sail on the local boat from Zuljana and the beautiful island of Korcula is an hour away.
