Zdrelac was formed around the church of St Luka. The name of the settlement was first mentioned in c 1397. Afterwards, in c 1446, ‘Zdrelac’ was mentioned as the last north hamlet of the village Banj, in c 1555 it was given the name ‘Zdrelac overo Bagno’, and in c 1668 ‘Zdrelac di Bagno’. In 1825 Zdrelac officially became an independent settlement with the name it has today. It had been named after a tight sea passage called ‘Zdrilo’, where this settlement is placed. The passage Zdrilo separates two islands: Ugljan and Pašman.
Nowadays Zdrelac spreads around a few coves, and covers the biggest area of all settlements; it’s the biggest settlement on the island. Zdrelac is the favourite destination for weekend-visitors, so a completely new settlement within Zdrelac by the name of Gladuša has appeared. During the summer season, a beach club is opened in the centre of the village. There is also a grocery store, a news-stand, post-office, a restaurant, a buildings-material store . A women's association «Zdreške» successfully operates in Zdrelac; they take care of the horticultural arrangement of the village. Up to a few years from now, wattle crates were made in Zdrelac, but when the last skilled master departed, the tradition of ‘knitting’ crates disappeared.
Sand beach in Tarokić (a cove south of the centre) is well organized, and beside a café bar, there are lots of sports contents and a mobile ice-cream van sale on the beach. During the summer, in the centre various concerts are organized, and the summer carnival is growing more popular every year. The tourists of all the island's are becoming very active in this unusual activity.

Banj, like the most of the settlements on the island, was once
formed in the island’s inland at the bottom of peak Bokolj (170 m),
where the church of Our Lady of Loretta is placed (20th Ct).
Nowadays, the centre of the settlement is by the seaside, around the
Church of St Kuzma and Damjan. This church was first mentioned in the 14th and 15th centuries, and nowadays the Church dates back to the 17th Ct. It was consecrated in the 19th century, when it officially belonged to the Benedictine abbey on Ćokovac. In Banj, there is also a chapel of Our Lady of Seven Mourns. In these parts, many archaeological
finds dating back to the Roman Age were discovered. These can reveal
much about this settlement’s history. Banj was first mentioned c 1265
by the name of BAGNI (the name comes from Latin word BALNEAE), that
means thermal spring or plentiful of water, which is logical
considering the fact that the whole village is plentiful with natural
spring water, only a few meters deep. It is obvious that during the
Roman Age, the patricians spent their holidays at Banj, and a legend
says: If you drink the spring water of Banj, you will once again want
to come to this peaceful and beautiful place. Banj and the entire
island of Pašman, this year celebrate a 100-year anniversary since the
first modernization of the island’s economy appeared, in other words,
since the first Village Treasury with unlimited guarantee had been
founded.
The inhabitants’ traditional occupations are agriculture and fishery. In the document dating 18th
Ct., it was written that people from Banj drew shelves from the sea and
that they caught fish with fish traps. Banj is now an excellent place
for spending holidays. Like in other settlements on the island, Banj
also has a sand beach, where you and your children can enjoy swimming
and relaxing. Next to the beach, there is a grocery store, a café bar,
a restaurant and a bowling ground. While you are in Banj, you have an
excellent opportunity to walk Bokolj peak (170 m). When you
climb to the peak, you follow the Way of the Cross, from the bottom to
top of the hill marked by drawings on all stops of the Way. When you
come to the peak, you come to see a beautiful sight of National Park
‘Kornati’ archipelago and the Pašman Channel. If you come to Banj
during the winter, you join your hosts in squid ‘sea hunt’. People in
this area are excellent at doing it…
