New builds - Vir
Vir is an island that behaves like a peninsula: a bridge at Privlaka links it to the mainland, so you arrive by car without a ferry, and Zadar is some thirty kilometres away. That accessibility, combined with flat, low-lying terrain, made Vir the site of the most intensive holiday-home building in northern Dalmatia over the past three decades, so a few thousand permanent residents now share the island each summer with many times that number of visitors. Settlements such as Torovi, Lozice, Miljkovica and Sabuni grew up almost entirely as holiday zones, with rows of houses and the sea a few minutes' walk away. This makes Vir one of the most attainable places on the Croatian coast to buy a house by the sea — and also a place where checking the paperwork is not a formality but the decisive part of the purchase. The landscape is low and austere, with sandy beaches in the south and open views towards Velebit and the archipelago.
Buyers from continental Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia and the Czech Republic looking for an attainable house by the sea that they can drive to. A growing group renovate for family lettings, since demand on Vir for accommodation with a garden and parking is steady.
