If you want to have your own island in the Adriatic, you now have a chance, but there are certain regulations if you should seriously consider it.
Peljesac - The dream of many: a private holiday home all to yourself.
No hotel or noisy resort, a small island with sun and sea where privacy is protected.
Your own house, hammock and lots of peace and quiet.
There are now advertisements for buying your own island in the Adriatic.
At first glance it all sounds like the dream destination, but there is a small catch.
Beautiful location for Croatia holidaymakers: It's not just the price that bothers you when buying
There is the opportunity to purchase an island near Croatia's second largest peninsula, Peljesac.
Peljesac was in the media for a short time in the summer due to a small earthquake.
The island is offered in online advertisements by
immowelt
and
eurovilla.hr
.
With a property area of 21,677 m², the desired object costs 3,200,000 euros.
Converted to the square meter price, it sounds like a bargain: 147 euros per square meter; in Upper Bavaria, a square meter costs an average of 6,250 euros.
It is advertised with the words: “A unique opportunity for those seeking the absolute privacy that only the island can offer.
It is a privately owned island with an area of 21,677 m2 in Maloston Bay.
The island is ideal for glamping resorts, naturist resorts, wedding venues (resorts), oyster tasting and visits to oyster farms, private parties, team buildings, for exclusive day rentals of the island for various events and the like.”
Paradise with building regulations: Is it worth vacationing or buying here?
What sounds like paradise, but has a big catch, as the Croatian website
morski.hr
describes.
Article 14, paragraph 6 prohibits concreting in the maritime area near the coast, such as for a jetty or a landing place for boats.
In addition, islands that are advertised as “agricultural land”, for example – such as the one described above – can only be developed in exceptional cases.
A family farm is permitted because only buildings approved for this purpose may be built for agricultural production.
You can buy an island in Croatia near the Adriatic coast of Peljesac, but there are catches.

Island in paradise, but many regulations make life there almost impossible
According to the portal, these can be cellars, fruit and vegetable warehouses, greenhouses, stables and the like.
Depending on the size, according to the regulatory plan, only a minimum area may be built on, such as a warehouse (10m²), field house (30m²) or farm building (50m²).
It should also be mentioned that all variables must always be clarified before making such a large purchase.
In addition, there is the state's right of first refusal.

There is already a stone house on the island and, at the request of
morski.hr,
another one may be built, or even a family farm.
Sounds anything but like a hammock with a view of the sea and access to the beach.
According to the broker on the Croatian portal, one way to build accommodation would be to turn to mussel farming and install a pontoon berth.
It is more likely that holidaymakers will settle in hotels or other accommodations before taking on such a complicated and expensive project.
