1. Ceja Island (€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.
2. Sridnja Island (€6,000,000)
- Location: Zadar Archipelago, North Dalmatia
- Size: 31.63 acres
- Description: Around 14 km or 30 min by boat from Zadar, with rocky coves and a 19th-century stone house
- Ownership: Freehold
- Development: Undeveloped
- Map: See on Google Earth
Sridnja, also known as Sridnji otok or “Middle Island,” is an almost 13-hectare private island in the Zadar Archipelago. It lies only around 500 m from the NW coast of Veli Iž and approximately 30 minutes by boat from the city of Zadar.
The island has the classic character of North Dalmatia, with rocky coves, low Mediterranean vegetation, clear channel waters, and a historic stone house reportedly dating from the 19th century. Its position between Ugljan and Dugi Otok gives it a secluded island atmosphere while keeping mainland services and transport links within practical reach.
The ownership structure is the main complication. The freehold is reportedly divided among more than ten co-owners, meaning that a buyer would need to acquire and consolidate every relevant ownership share rather than complete a straightforward single-owner purchase. Croatian statutory pre-emption procedures may also apply.
Development rights require equally careful verification. Although the selling agent reportedly suggests that construction may be possible, land-registry or planning information appears to classify the property as pasture or non-building land. The safest realistic development route is therefore the restoration of the existing stone house, subject to the necessary approvals. For a patient buyer prepared to handle the legal and planning work, Sridnja offers substantial acreage and genuine Dalmatian character within easy reach of Zadar.
3. Mali Ston Island (€3,250,000)
- Location: Bay of Mali Ston, Pelješac, Dubrovnik-Neretva County, South Dalmatia
- Size: 5.36 acres
- Description: Around 2–3 km E of Mali Ston and approximately 60 km NW of Dubrovnik, with boat access
- Ownership: Freehold
- Development: Undeveloped
- Map: See on Google Earth
Veliki Školj is a 2.17-hectare private island in the sheltered Bay of Mali Ston, at the base of Croatia’s Pelješac Peninsula. Located around an hour’s drive NW of Dubrovnik, the bay is especially known for its protected waters, oyster farms, and long shellfish-growing tradition.
The island is covered mainly by pine woodland and gently rising Mediterranean terrain. It includes planted olive trees, a natural freshwater spring, and an old dry-stone house reportedly dating from before 1968. Freshwater is particularly unusual on a small Adriatic island and adds practical value for agricultural or low-impact private use.
Veliki Školj is zoned as agricultural land, meaning that construction of a conventional modern villa is unlikely to be permitted. The more realistic route would involve restoring the existing stone structure, subject to approvals, and potentially adding small agricultural buildings where legally allowed. Any tourism, glamping, or retreat concept would also require confirmation under the applicable spatial plan.
The Croatian State may hold statutory pre-emption rights, while parts of the shoreline may fall within the public maritime domain known as pomorsko dobro. For a buyer comfortable with these restrictions, Veliki Školj offers a rare opportunity to own an unspoilt freehold island in one of South Dalmatia’s most distinctive coastal settings.
4. Mali Kosmac Island (€1,500,000)
- 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 Kosmać 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.
