Flight to Novalja & Zrce Beach

Fastest option for solo travelers and small groups. Zadar (ZAD) is just 110 km from Novalja — 90-minute transfer gets you to Zrce Beach.

The three relevant airports

Zadar (ZAD) — 110 km / 90 min — the optimal airport. Ryanair from Memmingen (FMM), Eurowings from Düsseldorf/Cologne, Lufthansa from Frankfurt/Munich. From 49 € one-way off-season.

Split (SPU) — 300 km / 3,5 h — more direct flights, but travel time to Novalja is twice as long. Worth it if the flight is significantly cheaper.

Zagreb (ZAG) — 350 km / 4 h — only as a fallback or if you want to visit Zagreb anyway. Too long a drive for a relaxed arrival.
