Obonjan is a small island in central Dalmatia (Croatia) which is separated from the island of Zmajan by a 0.5 nM passage. The island of Krapanj is 3 nM E and the island of Zlarin is 2.5 nM W of Obonjan. The top of the island is 56 metres above sea level.
On the E side of the island, there is a small harbour with an even smaller jetty.
During the times of Socialist Yugoslavia, the island used to be nicknamed "Otok Mladosti" (Island of Youth) as it was a popular scouts' venue. Later, during the Independence 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.
