Not so long ago, we told you all about Madeira’s digital nomad village, and it looks like the trend is catching on. The newest digital nomad hotspot is in Zadar, Croatia, where a dedicated village for digital nomads and remote workers has opened.

The village is called The Valley and is located in Bokir, which is just a short walk away from the center of Zadar. The village opened on the 10th of October and is welcoming nomads to stay for up to a year, with a minimum stay of 2 weeks. Croatia already has a digital nomad visa in place which allows the applicant to stay in the country for up to 12 months.

The Valley boasts affordable accommodation options, but how affordable is it really?

The prices fluctuate based on the length of your stay, with those intending to live there for over 7 weeks getting the best deal. A studio apartment for those staying for the longest period of time is €249 per week, working out at around €1000 per month. There are also options for bigger apartments, either to book the entire place or to book a private bedroom and co-live.

A double bedroom unit ranges from €349 to €479 depending on the length of stay, but renting a private bedroom inside one of these units will only cost between €175 and €240 per week. The cheapest accommodation option is a private room within a 3 bedroom apartment, which can cost as little as €130 per week.

Included in the price are your utilities and access to the wellness facility and gym. All apartments are equipped with a full kitchen, and all bedrooms have a private bathroom.

If you’re currently touring Europe in a camper van, this could still be an option for you, with a campsite welcoming caravans and camper vans, from €89 per week.

A coworking office is available to use in The Valley, located at a hotel that is just a couple of minutes walk along the beach. The Valley also has a community manager, a community channel for connecting with other nomads, access to partner discounts, and exclusive events. 

If you’re interested in visiting The Valley, book your slot quickly, as this project is only set to last until 31.03.22.
