The Property — Club Funimation Borik
Club Funimation Borik is a sprawling, family-oriented resort hotel on Zadar’s Borik peninsula, built in the 1970s and recently refreshed. The lobby feels like a busy airport lounge—lots of polished concrete, a central bar, and queues at the reception desk. It trades on its direct beach access, three swimming pools, and all-inclusive dining; suited best to holidaymakers who want sun, sea, and zero meal planning, rather than couples or solo travellers after quiet charm.
Chronicles of Zadar
Zadar began as a Liburnian settlement, became a Roman colony (Jader) in the 1st century BC, and still shows its forum and city walls. Under Venetian rule for four centuries, it acquired Renaissance fortifications and a grid of narrow stone streets. The 20th century brought heavy damage from Allied bombing in WWII, then a long communist-era rebuild. Today it balances cruise-ship tourism, a UNESCO-listed old town, and the experimental Sea Organ and Sun Salutation installations along its modern waterfront.
Best Time to Visit
Full Zadar guide →Best months
June and September: warm sea, strong sun, fewer crowds than peak July–August. Late May also works for good weather without the throngs.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest months, when Zadar’s population effectively doubles. Hotel prices—including Club Funimation—peak at roughly 20–30% above shoulder rates. The main driver is the European summer holiday season; the Midsummer’s Eve celebration (June 23/24) also adds pressure.
Budget shoulder season
Late May and early September offer good swimming weather, significantly lower hotel rates, and empty beaches. Hotel occupancy drops sharply after August 25, making this the best budget window.
Weather & packing
Zadar has a semi-arid Mediterranean climate, so summer rain is rare but strong Bura winds can arrive in a day. Pack a packable windproof jacket, beach sandals, and a sun hat; leave the umbrella at home.
Live City Briefing — Zadar
- The old-town pedestrian zone is being expanded along the Riva waterfront, adding new cafe terraces but causing minor construction noise near Trg Pet Bunara through August 2026.
- Zadar’s main bus station (Autobusni Kolodvor) underwent a terminal renovation that finished in March 2026; schedules and platforms are now digital and easier to navigate.
- A July heatwave advisory: daytime temperatures are projected to hit 36–38°C in July 2026; the hotel’s air-conditioning in public areas runs well, but check your room unit upon arrival.

Top Attractions in Zadar
💡 Go just before sunset and sit on the upper steps to hear the notes rise as the sun hits the Adriatic. Bring a light jacket even in summer as the sea breeze picks up.
💡 Arrive at civil twilight (about 40 minutes after sunset) when the colours just start to glow. Avoid Friday and Saturday peak hours when it gets crowded with groups.
💡 The building often hosts classical music concerts in summer – check the tourist board poster outside. If the door is locked, peer through the iron grille at the mosaic floor.
💡 The nearby public toilet is one of the few free ones in the old town. Also a good spot for a picnic if you grab burek from the bakery on Varoš Street.
💡 First Sunday of the month is free. Otherwise, pay the 30 kuna (€4) – it’s worth it for the late-Roman blue glass swan and the short film on ancient glassblowing.
