Obonjan is an islet in central Dalmatia (Croatia) which is separated from the island Zmajan by a 0.5 NM passage. The island of Krapanj is 3NM E and the island of Zlarin is 2.5 NM W of Obonjan. The top of the island is 56 metres above the sea level.

On the E of the island, where there is small harbour with an even smaller jetty.

During times of the Socialist Yugoslavia the islet used to be nicknamed as "Otok Mladosti" (Island of Youth) as it was a popular scout's venue. Later, during the Independance war refugees inhabited it. Then in 2015 after some years of uncertainty the island was bought by a group of British entrepreneurs to be converted into a resort with a techno music venue.

Weather

Diurnal winds among the islands are mostly moderate during the summer months, predominantly from NW and rarely exceeding force 4/5, although gusting is common in narrow channels between islands and on the lee side of headlands. At night, katabatic winds off the mountains affect some of the islands close to the mainland coast. During early spring and (especially) autumn conditions can be more unsettled, occasionally accompanied by violent thunderstorms - luckily of short duration - with winds of 30-35 knots or more and vicious, steep seas. In the winter the sudden, violent N wind off the mountains, the bora, is much to be feared, especially along the coast from Rijeka down to Zadar, although its effects can be felt as far south as Split.

Equally prevalent in winter - although not uncommon in summer - is the scirocco, a S/SE wind that blows up from North Africa, usually in advance of a depression moving E across the Mediterranean. Unlike the bora, the scirocco only occasionally exceeds gale force, but is still a phenomenon to be wary of, especially if on a lee coast.
