Discover Drvenik Mali's Hidden Gem: Vela Rina Beach Nestled in the heart of the Adriatic Sea, Drvenik Mali is a small, idyllic island that promises an escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. This Croatian paradise, just a short boat ride from Trogir, is a haven of tranquility, boasting untouched nature, crystal-clear waters, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Among its many treasures, Vela Rina Beach stands out as a true gem—a place where time seems to slow down, allowing visitors to unwind and soak in the beauty of the Mediterranean. A Slice of Paradise Vela Rina Beach is the crown jewel of Drvenik Mali, renowned for its soft, golden sands and gentle waves. Unlike many other beaches in Croatia, which are often pebbly, Vela Rina offers a rare stretch of fine sand that feels like silk underfoot. The shallow, azure waters make it an ideal spot for families, providing a safe environment for children to play and explore the sea. Embrace the Serenity One of the most alluring aspects of Vela Rina Beach is its unspoiled, serene environment. Drvenik Mali has managed to retain its traditional charm, with very little commercial development. The beach is free from large crowds and loud beach bars, making it the perfect destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat. You can lay down your towel, bask in the sun, and listen to the gentle lapping of waves without any interruptions. Activities for Everyone While relaxation is the main attraction at Vela Rina, there are plenty of activities for the more adventurous. The clear waters are perfect for snorkeling, allowing you to discover the vibrant marine life that calls this area home. Kayaking and paddleboarding are also popular, offering a unique perspective of the island’s stunning coastline. For those who enjoy a bit of exploration, a walk around Drvenik Mali reveals charming stone houses, olive groves, and ancient paths that lead to breathtaking viewpoints. Taste the Local Flavor No visit to Vela Rina Beach would be complete without sampling the local cuisine. The island’s small, family-run konobas (traditional Croatian taverns) serve up fresh seafood, caught daily by local fishermen, alongside hearty Dalmatian dishes. Pair your meal with a glass of locally produced wine, and you have the perfect recipe for a memorable dining experience. One of the joys of Drvenik Mali is its simplicity, and nowhere is this more evident than in its food—authentic, fresh, and delicious. Tips for Your Visit Bring Essentials: While there are a few small shops on the island, it’s best to bring any essentials with you, especially if you plan to spend the day at the beach. Respect the Environment: Drvenik Mali is an eco-friendly destination, so be mindful of your impact. Take any trash with you, and avoid disturbing the local wildlife. Stay a While: If you have time, consider staying overnight on the island. The peaceful evenings, star-filled skies, and the sound of waves make for an unforgettable experience. Final Thoughts Vela Rina Beach on Drvenik Mali is more than just a beach—it's a sanctuary of natural beauty, relaxation, and simple pleasures. Whether you're a solo traveler, a couple, or a family, this hidden gem offers something for everyone. In a world that often feels too fast-paced and chaotic, a visit to Vela Rina is like stepping back in time to a place where life is simpler and the beauty of nature takes center stage.

When the ocean delivers, it really delivers. When dolphins choose to ride alongside sailboats, it's the most amazing experience. One we never get tired of seeing. Dolphins always make an already amazing sail even more so. This pod of dolphins put on a real show for us. What we find amazing is how they can choose to make their presence known, and then just like that, they're gone! One of the many examples of how the ocean is such a beautiful but vast and wild place. What a privilege to see these incredible mammals and what a way to end the year! We hope you enjoy it! As always, thanks for watching.

After a few years of studying and working hard we decided it was time to make a change. We needed a change that would allow us to spend more time together, give us a better work/life balance, and the freedom to travel. While we still had time on our side, we wanted to use it to live rather than use it to chase money. Learning to sail was the answer. In December 2021 we moved onboard Te Tāiko, a Chico40, and since then we have been so fortunate to explore many of New Zealand’s pest free islands and its beautiful anchorages. With our love of travel and adventure, this lifestyle has enabled us to experience so much more than we could ever have imagined. From new experiences to meeting incredible people along the way, our life has been enriched in so many ways and makes us ever so more appreciative of our environment and the footprint we leave behind. Tāiko is our floating home. She gives us the freedom to go anywhere the wind and weather allows. By living a more minimalistic and sustainable lifestyle, she has provided us with a better work/life balance and has taught us to live and be present more in the moment. Tāiko has also taught us to be more independent and less reliant on services. Some of these experiences have taken us out of our comfort zone many times but as the saying goes, ‘a comfort zone is a wonderful place but nothing grows there’. Our plan is to do blue water cruising. So, over the next year we will be completing some maintenance work on Tāiko and be getting her ready to meet New Zealand’s category 1 requirements to be able to go offshore. In the meantime, follow along with us as we navigate this new lifestyle whilst sharpening our skills exploring New Zealand waters. #boatlife #boat #travelvlog #digitalnomad #lifestyle #sailing #travel
