Seaside holidays in Croatia have for decades been synonymous with nature, the great outdoors and spartan accommodation (often campsites) tucked away in green pine forests beside a beautifully coloured sea. Times have changed for a while now, and today Croatia, like other popular seaside holiday destinations, can boast a first-class hotel offer that includes beautiful resorts and holiday villages.
Croatia’s resorts and holiday villages allow you to completely immerse yourself in the greenery that has made this destination so famous without sacrificing modern comforts and – why not? – luxury. In addition to the dreamlike sea, you will also find designer furniture, high-quality cuisine and infinity pools.
All-inclusive resorts are recommended for couples and groups of friends who want a hedonistic, pure pleasure holiday. For families, villages with entertainment or perhaps resorts with self-catering flats are perfect.
For everyone, the top is a seaside resort that allows you to reach the beach without a car, enjoy splendid views at any time of the day and maybe even take a last-minute swim before closing your suitcase and heading for the airport.
Holiday village offers for Croatia are numerous, but the quality of the facilities on offer is not always good. That is why we have selected for you the best resorts and holiday villages in Croatia where you are sure to experience a holiday to remember forever. It’s money well spent!
