Original Idea for a Unique Honeymoon: Top Destination and Activities

Imagine a place where you are practically alone with your partner, an island in the middle of the sea where time seems to stand still, where every corner gives you a new reason to smile, and where the view takes your breath away with every glance. If you’re looking for the perfect spot to have a romantic and relaxing honeymoon, Dugi Otok is the answer. And what better and more original place to stay than Gorgonia Apartments & Suites?

Honeymoon on a Quiet and Picturesque Island

Dugi Otok, which means “Long Island,” is a small hidden gem in the stunning Dalmatia region of Croatia. Away from the tourist crowds, this corner of the world offers a rare tranquility that is hard to find elsewhere. Its natural beauty is breathtaking: golden sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, green hills that stand out against the blue sky, and picturesque villages where time seems to move slower. If you want a honeymoon in a place where romance reigns supreme, Dugi Otok is the right place. You can walk hand in hand with your partner along the coast, take a dip in the turquoise sea, or simply enjoy the silence of the surrounding nature. It’s not hard to imagine yourself sipping a cocktail at sunset at a seaside bar, with the sea breeze caressing your skin and an atmosphere of pure serenity.

Honeymoon with Romantic and Adventurous Activities

If you think a honeymoon is just about lounging on the beach, let us tell you that Dugi Otok has much more to offer! If you want to mix a bit of adventure into your romantic trip, you can choose from several outdoor activities. Take our boat and leave for a trip; we’ll give you instructions so you can safely navigate it. Pack a picnic and head out to discover a wreck lying just a few meters underwater, surrounded by fish in a turquoise sea. Then, reach a secluded bay that is inaccessible by car—you will feel like you’re in paradise! The next day, take our bike and head to the famous sandy beach of Sakarun, one of the most beautiful beaches in Croatia, or explore the hidden caves and coves along the coast. A hike to the Veli Rat lighthouse offers a panoramic view that will leave you speechless, while a walk in the Telašćica Nature Park will surprise you with the play of nature that created this deep fjord with vibrant colors. You’ll be amazed to see the towering cliffs and a lake of deep blue. To finish, you absolutely must join a day trip to the Kornati National Park, which will take you to an enchanted place, where many islands are packed into a small area. Here, you’ll swim in cream-like water and eat plenty of fresh fish, dressed in first-press olive oil—such a fresh and authentic dish that you won’t even find in a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Honeymoon in a Corner of Paradise on Dugi Otok

After a day of exploration, the perfect place to relax is definitely Gorgonia Apartments. Located in Verunic, a small village in the north of the island, this apartment complex is ideal for couples looking for privacy, comfort, and breathtaking views. The apartments are spacious, simple, and well-equipped, and will make you feel right at home. Every morning, you’ll wake up to a view of the sea and the feeling of being in a dream you don’t want to wake up from.

We also provide a two-seat kayak, to reach hidden coves near the residence: bring your breakfast at dawn and watch the sunrise, or take some champagne and wait for the sunset. You’ll be just the two of you, surrounded by nature under a sky full of stars, with the sound of the waves as your honeymoon musical background.

Honeymoon: Organization

Dugi Otok is the perfect island for those seeking a bit of distance from the fast-paced life, without sacrificing comfort during honeymoon. If you come to us, you can leave the organization of your transfer from Zadar airport to us. From there, we’ll send a car to take you to the port, and in 90 minutes by ferry, you’ll reach the island. If you come in May, you’ll find the island fully in bloom with sweet fragrances; June and September offer the perfect temperature, and even the most popular beaches will be almost all yours.
