Island #1 (€20,400,000)
- Location: Medulin, Adriatic Sea
- Size: ~40 acres, ~16 hectares
- Description: ~870m from shore, 7km south of Airport Medulin
- Ownership: Part ownership (25 acres private ownership, 15 acres state ownership)
- Development: Developed
- Map: See on Google Earth
Ceja Island is located 800 metres from shore off the tip of Croatia’s Istrian Peninsula. This position grants the property convenient access to the municipality of Medulin (three kilometres to the northeast), Medulin’s region airport (7 kilometres to the north), and the seafront city of Pula (10 kilometres to the northwest) – and vice versa.
Though spanning approximately 40 acres in total, Ceja is divided between private land ownership and state ownership. 25 acres are available for purchase, while the remaining 15 will stay under state control.
There are several beaches, a 300-square-metre catering establishment, and a 40-square-metre home on the island, though further inquiry is needed to determine upon which section of land these features exist. The residence is also in need of renovation.
Ceja is visited frequently by both tourists and sailors.
Island #2 (€6,500,000)
- Location: Dubrovnik, Adriatic Sea
- Size: ~38 acres, ~15 hectares
- Description: 500m from shore, 20-min drive from Dubrovnik Airport
- Ownership: Freehold
- Development: Development potential, some ruins
Located near the travel hotspot of Dubrovnik, this private island is well-connected to resources and services – the city centre is a 30-minute drive from the nearest harbour, and the international airport is also a short 20-minute car journey away.
This access to amenities creates an attractive balance between convenience and privacy.
The island’s natural assets include near-40 acres of total land, flat topography accessible from all sides, widespread vegetation coverage, a few small bays with sand and pebble shores, and shelter from harsh winds by the nearby mainland.
The status of the land is deemed agricultural. There is a trio of dilapidated stone houses to the south of the island – these are not considered cultural monuments and so can be renovated according to their original size (30 square metres). A water system in need of repair is the island’s only existing utility infrastructure – no electricity is available.
There is, however, a possibility for further development. Pending amendments to the spacial plan and approval from the local community, there is potential for tourism usage. There is also an opportunity to construct four additional buildings of 400 square metres each, depending on their purpose and land usage – for example, involvement in the cultivation and farming of olive groves (for which the island also has a permit). Such details for construction and development would need closer examination.
Development potential and proximity to Dubrovnik make this an exciting investment opportunity.
Island #3 (SOLD)
- Location: Mali Lošinj, Adriatic Sea
- Size: 99 acres, 40 hectares
- Description: 8km from Mali Lošinj, 15km east of Mali Lošinj Airport
- Ownership: Freehold
- Development: Non Developed
- Map: See on Google Earth
Oruda Island is located approximately 8 kilometres east of Mali Lošinj – the town’s regional airport is a further 7 kilometres inland.
The purchase of Oruda includes another small island located 600 metres further south. The two properties must be sold together.
Foremost, Oruda spans a total land area of ~94 acres and features the ruins of an old church alongside several houses. There is also an existing source of drinking water. The island’s topography is flat and marked by sporadic thickets of indigenous vegetation. Its shores are rocky and lead directly into cerulean waters.
The smaller island is approximately 10 acres in size and holds the remains of a historic monastery. The ruins are subject to protection from the Ministry of Culture.
Together, the islands have been offered to the Republic of Croatia and an official rejection was received. As such, they are now available for private purchase.
Two-thirds of each island (to the sum of 81.5 acres) are up for sale. The remaining third is possible to buy at the price of a judicial assessment.
Island #4 (€2,500,000)
- Location: Kornati Archipelago, Adriatic Sea
- Size: ~9 acres / ~3.6 hectares
- Ownership: Freehold
- Development: Some ruins
Spanning just shy of 10 acres, this private island is located between Pasman and the Kornati National Park.
The island, distinguished by its L-shape, is marked by an abundance of low-lying vegetation and olive trees. It also features a stone shore.
Details regarding the island’s exact position, land titles, and development potential require further investigation.
Island #5 (€700,000)
- Location: Split, Dalmatia, Sibenik Archipelago
- Size: ~1.2 acres, ~0.5 hectares
- Description: 250m from shore, 22km west of Split Airport
- Ownership: Freehold
- Development: Non Developed
- Map: See on Google Earth
Mali Komsać is the smallest property currently listed on the Croatian private island market – its total land area spans just ~1.2 acres.
Aside from its modest size, Mali Kosmać benefits from proximity to Split – the second-largest city in Croatia and the largest in the coastal region of Dalmatia. Proximity to Split also means proximity to its international airport (SPU), a valuable resource for incoming and outgoing travel.
Mali Kosmać is a uniformly flat island covered by macchia shrubland. Rocks around its perimeter prevent easy access.
The island’s spacial plan does not allow construction. As such, Mali Kosmać is only suitable for farming.
