Necujam, classed as the "youngest" village of the island of SOLTA, has in fact been inhabited since before Roman times.  The bay of Necujam (made up of the coves of Piskera, Maslinica, Podkamenika, Sumpljivina and Tiha) is the largest on Solta's northern coastline. The Latin name for Necujam was "Vallis Surda"(Deaf Cove) due to it's size; sounds from the shoreline could not be heard until you arrived at it.  These coves provide very good sheltered anchorages to visiting private and charter yachts and host many "fish picnic" boats. 

Necujam first reached real prominence when Roman emperor Diocletian built his summer retreat and spa here and also constructed a fish farm in the cove of Piskera.  Swimmers and divers can still see the remains of those underwater walls that enclosed the cove - sailors are warned of this obstruction when navigating this area. Other Roman era ruins discovered in Necujam include farm buildings, a necropolis, grave sites, pottery and money. (Do not miss the opportunity to visit Diocletian's Palace in Split.  A preserved UNESCO site, it is still inhabited today by local residents and is the home to a variety of private apartments and hotels, shops and banks, restaurants and cafe-bars and other places of business - just as in Roman times).

Necujam's natural scenic beauty and fame also attracted Marko Marulic (the father of Croatian literature) and his small simple house is now a museum.  In later years yet another famed writer and poet, Petar Hektorovic was inspired, settled and wrote many of his acclaimed papers, having been attracted by Marulic's description of the location.  As time passed the more affluent citizens of Split also built summer homes around Necujam's bay.

Today, Necujam is home to the only "modern tourist village" development on the island of SOLTA.  A small complex of 2-story apartments were constructed in 1984, whilst still under Yugoslav rule. After the end of the civil war(in 1992), the beginning of the new millennium in 2000 saw the addition of 5 more groups of 2-story apartment duplexes.  The original complex(renovated in 2004) is nestled amongst pine trees and sits below the newer apartments; all contained in one area with their surrounding modern amenities.  The centre of Necujam offers a "maintained" pebble beach(the largest beach on Solta), a variety of nearby restaurants and cafe-bars, sporting and water activities and other conveniences. 

The large expanse of Necujam's shoreline area, including all it's coves, still allow you to discover the traditional "old world charm" and escape to the more private accommodations of individual single rooms, apartments and houses, the peace and quiet of less congested spaces and it's beautiful Mediterranean landscape and views.
