Island Mali Drvenik (Little Drvenik Island) is a tranquil paradise located in the central Dalmatian archipelago, Croatia.
It lies just 5 nautical miles from the famous Blue Lagoon and about 8 nautical miles from Trogir, making it easily reachable by speedboat or ferry.
Mali Drvenik is situated near Drvenik Veli and Šolta Island, forming a trio of small, picturesque islands surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters. Although the island is small, it offers visitors an unforgettable experience of natural beauty, peace, and authenticity.
The highlight of Island Mali Drvenik is the stunning White Lagoon (Vela Rina Beach) — a soft sandy bay with shallow, turquoise water that feels like the Caribbean in the heart of Dalmatia.
This natural lagoon is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing, and it’s one of the stops on our private and group speedboat tours from Split and Trogir. The sea here is exceptionally clear, and the surrounding peaceful landscape creates a perfect setting for relaxation.
Because of its calmness and shallow water, Vela Rina Beach is also excellent for families with children or anyone looking for a serene escape away from the crowds.
The island features just one small village, home to a few friendly locals who live a simple, traditional lifestyle.
There are no paved roads, only dirt paths — giving the island a charming, untouched feel. Cars are allowed, but since Mali Drvenik is very small, there’s little need for them.
This simplicity adds to the island’s appeal, making it ideal for those who wish to escape the stress of modern life.
Here, you’ll find no traffic, no crowds, and no rush — only the gentle sound of the sea, the scent of pine trees, and the warmth of the Adriatic sun.
Visitors can enjoy fishing, hiking, swimming, or simply relaxing on the beach. There are also a few private accommodations and family-run restaurants offering traditional Dalmatian food, fresh seafood, and local wine.
