Lun is a small fishing village at the northernmost part of the island of Pag. It is famous for its ancient olive groves, unspoiled nature, crystal clear sea, mild Mediterranean climate and relaxing silence. That almost biblical environment provides the opportunity to experience the magic of the Mediterranean as it once existed. Hearing the early morning singing of crickets in the olives, swimming in hidden coves, experiencing breath-taking sunsets and enjoying the local cuisine specialities, will create an unique experience and restore your energy. And therefore it is not strange what locals always repeat: “Once you’ve visited Lun and experienced the magic of its stunning beauty and authenticity, you will always keep coming back.”

The island of Pag
Pag Island is known as one of the sunniest islands in the Adriatic with over 2 500 hours of sunshine annually. It is also called “lunar island” because its appearance resembles the moon’s surface – its bare and raw nature and scalding rocks make it unique. It is almost entirely covered with salt which the wind Bora spreads from the Velebit channel. Only in the far north of the island (in Lun) there is more developed vegetation which is reflected in the numerous agricultural lands enclosed by stone walls, olive and holm oak groves.
