Falkensteiner Club Funimation Borik

Borik is Zadar's beach and resort district, a few kilometres from the old town along a tree-lined promenade by the sea. Falkensteiner Club Funimation Borik belongs to a family-oriented brand known for entertainment programmes for children, and it is a popular choice for parents who want a holiday with built-in activities. The setting is by the water, with a long coastline of pebble and concrete bathing platforms and the shade of pines. Staying here means a beach holiday with an excellent city on the doorstep. The old town is a short bus, bicycle or taxi ride away, so you can combine swimming with sightseeing.

The key advantage of a resort in Borik is that families can relax without needing to plan every hour. Children's clubs, play areas and entertainment are central to the Falkensteiner family brand, and the hotel is designed to occupy children while adults swim, read or take a spa break. The beach promenade is a pleasant place for walks and bicycle rides, and ice cream and cafes line the route to the old town.

Accommodation in a family club typically includes family rooms and apartments, suited for parents with children of different ages. Meals are an important part of the experience, with buffet breakfast and dinner common, plus a mix of local and international dishes that please fussy eaters. Check the current board options, such as half board or all-inclusive, when you book, as these can change by season.

For sightseeing, the old town is about four kilometres away. The easiest ways to get there are by local bus, taxi or bicycle, or by a pleasant walk along the sea on a cool evening. Many tour operators collect guests from Borik hotels for excursions to Krka, Kornati, Paklenica and Pag, so you do not need a car. Ask reception about transfers and local activities.

This is a seasonal destination. In summer, the beach is busy and the hotel is lively. In May, June and September, the weather is mild, the sea is warm enough for swimming and the atmosphere is calmer. In winter, resort facilities may be reduced, and many visitors choose city hotels instead.

A resort stay works best if you split your time. Spend a couple of days at the beach and pool, one day in the old town, one day on a boat trip and one day on a national park excursion. That keeps children entertained and gives adults the Dalmatian culture they came for.
