Top attractions in and around Zadar & places of interest:
There are four national parks and several historic towns that are part of the Unesco World Heritage Site and are less than 1.5 hours' drive from the Falkensteiner Resort Punta Skala. The stone houses, narrow streets, magnificent palaces and squares in the towns of Trogir, Šibenik, Zadar, Split and Nin, some of which are several millennia old, are still inhabited today.
Spend part of your holiday getting to know these places: visit the local markets, sit comfortably in a bar with a terrace, order a coffee and watch the hustle and bustle of people for a few hours... One of the Dalmatian people's mottoes is "pomalo", which means "no hurry". Live by this motto. "Coffee to go" is out here. So sit down for a while in a cosy café and enjoy your coffee - just like a local.
Swim in the Kornati and Krka national parks, watch bears in the Velebit mountains, walk along the shimmering turquoise waters of the Plitvice Lakes National Park or visit the salt pans near Nin. If you explore the area on this holiday, you will discover wonderful places!

If you had to describe the creations of the kitchen team at the Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Iadera in just one word, it would certainly be "refined". Because the mixture of numerous European influences makes the Falkensteiner cuisine at the hotel something very special.
The Mediterranean cuisine of Dalmatia, with its strong Italian influences, is complemented by the cuisine of the Croatian hinterland, where the Austrians and Hungarians have left their mark. But you can also enjoy some Italian, Austrian and South Tyrolean specialities.
The Iadera has a total of four restaurants. Konoba Planika, a little off the beaten track in the pine forest, serves traditional Dalmatian cuisine. So grilled calamari, lamb stew and Ćevapčići. Mediterranean cuisine and fine wines from the Alpe-Adria region in the hotel restaurant Jardan. All four restaurants offer sweeping views of the sea.
Hotel Restaurant Jadran
Here, guests enjoy a 5-star breakfast in the morning and Mediterranean and regional Alpe-Adria specialities in the evening. The menus and themed buffets are accompanied by a large selection of wines from the Alpe-Adria region as well as a fine selection of excellent rare wines that are only available in Croatia.
La Veranda
A fantastic offer between the famous Adriatic cuisine and the new fabulous Adriatic-Asia fusion concept, prepared with fresh regional products.
Aquapura Spa Bistro & Vital Bar
Fresh salads, "unmissable" classics and snacks inspired by our Falkensteiner Alpe-Adria cuisine are served here. Freshly squeezed fruit juices, smoothies and matcha drinks made to homemade recipes not only taste delicious, but also boost your well-being and vitality.
Sotto Voce Lounge Bar
What could be better than rounding off a perfect day in a stylish bar with a glass of champagne, exquisite cocktails and good music? From here, you can also enjoy the magical moment when the sun sinks into the sea in the evening, glowing orange.
Cigar lounge
The stylish combination of cosy seating and a large selection of cigars and cigarillos offers enough space to really unwind.
