What You Should Know About Croatia All Inclusive Croatia Holidays

All-inclusive resorts and hotels are an excellent choice for families and those who don’t want the hassle of budgeting for food and drinks. You’ll find all-inclusive in every major tourist hotspot, including Croatia .

Indeed, there aren’t as many all-inclusive hotels here in Croatia as there are in some other summer hotspots, but there are also some great ones to choose from. However, you might have a few queries you need to answer before deciding whether to opt for all-inclusive or whether to go with a regular type of accommodation.

Why Are Croatia All-Inclusive Resorts A Good Option?

Most all-inclusive hotels in Croatia offer an all-inclusive package that includes three standard daily meals, e.g., breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks throughout the day and evening. It varies from place to place, though soft drinks and water are standard. Some hotels offer a range of alcoholic beverages in that drink package, while others offer a limited choice of beer, wine, local vodka, and other spirits.

The plus point of all-inclusive is that kids can have as many soft drinks as they want in the sun, but entertainment is also included as part of your holiday package. You’ll also get pool umbrellas and activities for the kids around the pool during the day.

Put simply, staying at all-inclusive hotels helps save you cash, even if it costs a little more at the point of booking. If your children are under a certain age, you might even find kids-free places on offer; still, the age limit and availability of these vary from hotel to hotel. Also, if you can book outside of the regular children’s holidays, you’ll find lower prices and more availability compared to when the kids are off school.

Non-residents of the hotel can enter into some all-inclusive hotels and use the pool facilities; however, they will need to pay for their drinks. In terms of safety, this means that while an all-inclusive hotel is perfectly safe, it doesn’t offer a safety guarantee. That’s simply something to bear in mind.

Where Are The Resorts In Croatia – Popular Destinations For All Inclusive

Croatia doesn’t have the widest choice of all-inclusive hotels compared to some of Europe’s other ample summer hotspots, and you’ll mainly find them along the stretch of coastline that runs between Dubrovnik and Umag.

You’ll also find some on the islands , but you won’t find any all-inclusive anywhere else, including Zagreb. The vast majority can be found in the Istria area .

Most all-inclusive hotels are located just a little from the main beach areas, so you will have to walk slightly to get into the center of town or to one of the gorgeous beaches, but this is usually only a few minutes away. Access is ordinarily direct, so you don’t have to worry about traversing your way through difficult areas, and the quality of food and drink is typically very high.

What Is The Difference Between All Inclusive And All Inclusive Light?

In Croatia , you will find two main packages for all-inclusive hotels – all-inclusive and all-inclusive light. The differences can be confusing, so let’s break it down.

• All-inclusive light: Three daily meals, a drinks selection while you’re eating, and occasional snacks. This package at one of the best all-inclusive hotels doesn’t include drinks during the day
• All-inclusive: Three daily meals, a drinks section during meals and throughout the day and night, and snacks.

Entertainment and pool area access are included in both packages.

So, tell us, which of these all-inclusive hotels in Croatia is it? Has our range of hotels for 2024 in Croatia won you over?

Glad to see Pine beach get a mention. Visited for a day whilst staying nearby in Biograd last year. It’s a fantastic place and quite a unique resort. Xx

Provjeriti ćemo Bellevue u Orebiću krajem mjeseca pa javimo dojmove. Izbor obnovljenih 4* hotela sa tom uslugom bi svakako mogao biti veći.

Oprostite ja ne razumijem dosta. Was the service bad or just not up to 4* standards??

I’m looking at Biokovo right now ☺️

Thank you, I’ll look into these. I’ll be back in Croatia around August next year & this time will have my daughter & two young (9&7) grandsons travelling with me!

While there aren’t any all-inclusive hotels in Pula , you will find one in nearby Medulin.

Family Hotel Amarin, Rovinj – $$$$

This family hotel features 280 rooms across 4 floors. Meals are served at the hotel buffet restaurant, while two beach bars serve light snacks.

Other facilities include a spa and wellness center with an indoor swimming pool; two hotel beaches, and an outdoor swimming pool. A large kids’ zone includes Xbox and play station game room, a kids’ gym, a lab, a playroom, and a movie theatre. There is also a large outdoor play area with slides, trampolines, swings, and the like.

Amarin family hotel is best suited for families with children up to 12 years of age. Family Hotel Amarin is the most popular all-inclusive family hotel in Croatia.

Marea Valamar Collection Suites, Porec – $$$$

This lovely 5-star beachfront property offers accommodation in 108 suites. The hotel serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with drinks included during the meals. The beach is right in front of the hotel and it is partly sandy. The center of the town is only a 20-minute walk, and it can be reached by walk, bike, or electric train.

Spacious suites of at least 40 m2, three meals a day, a sandy beach, and a rich entertainment program make Marea Valamar Collection Suites one of the popular summer spots for an all-inclusive stay in Croatia.

The prices start at 500 € a night for a Junior Suite for 3 persons.

Valamar Girandella Maro Suites, Rabac – $$$$

The only all-inclusive 5-star hotel in Croatia, Valamar Girandella Maro Suites is a perfect place to spend family holidays. The hotel features 149 suites and it offers lots of activities for small children. Both indoor and outdoor swimming pools are heated.

Maro Suites’ all-inclusive formula includes an all-day all-inclusive offer including food, and hot and cold beverages available from 7 am to 9 pm.

Valamar Tamaris Resort, Porec – $$$

Located on the Lanterna peninsula, 10 km north of Porec, Valamar Tamaris Resort features over 500 rooms, suites, and apartments spread in the main hotel building and the surrounding villas.

Guests like Valamar Tamaris Resorts for its variety of room types, a wide range of beaches within the resort, a good choice of sports facilities, as well as a varied entertainment program for kids.

Although Valamar Tamaris’s age starts showing up in many details, and it feels a bit run down, it is still a good choice if you are looking to stay in one of the all-inclusive Croatia resorts.

Maistra Select Funtana Resort, Porec – $$$

This no-frills 3-star all-inclusive resort is located in Funtana village near Porec. We like the resort’s natural environment and the fact that you can make nice walks by the sea, or bike all the way to Porec and Vrsar.

The resort consists of three buildings featuring 76 rooms each, a central area with a reception and a buffet restaurant, a swimming pool area with an outdoor pool, and a pool bar.

The rooms are small but all have a balcony (small) and a sea view. The food is good, the staff is friendly.

Don’t know what’s exactly happening with Funtana, but the rates in the peak season are over 500 € per double room with all-inclusive formula.

Laguna Albatros, Porec – $$

Laguna Albatros is a 4-star all-inclusive hotel within Zelena Laguna resort, less than 5 km north of Porec.

Laguna Albatros is popular among sports aficionados as the hotel disposes of many sports facilities. Tennis facilities in the vicinity are especially popular among hotel guests. Sports activities, although free, are time-limited (eg. 2 hours of tennis per day, 3 hours of bicycle rental, etc).

Rooms are ok if not a bit Spartan. Beware that not all rooms have a balcony.

Laguna Zorna, Porec – $$

Laguna Zorna and Laguna Albatros are two sister hotels located one across the road from the other.

Hotel Zorna is a 3-star hotel offering a bit more modest experience than you will find in Albatros. Nevertheless, in many ways these two hotels are similar.

Zorna is located on the hill, has no elevators, and it takes lots of stairs to climb from the beach to the rooms, even though there are escalator stairs from the road to the lobby.

This is one of the cheap all-inclusive Croatia hotels and resorts.

Hotel Aurora, Umag – $$

Hotel Sol Aurora is perhaps the cheapest 4-star all-inclusive hotel in Istria. Umag is less attractive than Porec, Rovinj, and Pula, and this fact alone makes Umag hotels cheaper than comparable hotels in other destinations.

The hotel is dated, and due for renovation, but it has a nice location near the beach and next to a lovely pine forest.

Hotel Aurora can be a good option if you look for cheap all-inclusive holidays in Croatia.

Valamar Bellevue, Rabac – $$$

Located in Rabac, just above beautiful pebbly beach, Valamar Bellevue hotel is all-inclusive family hotel best suited for families with children.

The all-inclusive formula includes three meals a day, selected local alcohol, soft drinks, coffee and teas throughout the day, and snacks at set hours. The hotel has four swimming pools: a large active pool with water slides, a splash pool for small children, a family pool with seawater, and seawater relax pool.

The rooms are spacious. Family rooms are designed for families with a separate area for kids to sleep and play.

TUI Blue Medulin

A single all-inclusive adults-only hotel in Istria, TUI Blue Medulin has 190 contemporary designed rooms and suites, an outdoor saltwater pool, a lovely public pebbly beach, a buffet restaurant, an a la carte Culinarium restaurant, a gym, and a small wellness area.

Although none of the hotels listed here is the best Croatia honeymoon all inclusive hotel, TUI Blue Medulin is as close as it gets.

Since you won’t find all-inclusive hotels in Pula, TUI Blue Medulin is the closest Pula all inclusive you can stay at.

The hotel is very popular with British guests. Read reviews here.

Hotel Icici, Opatija – $$

This Croatia all-inclusive hotel located in Opatija features 180 rooms, an outdoor swimming pool, a pool and lobby bar, and a buffet restaurant.

It’s a beautiful, modernly designed hotel right on the seafront with comfy rooms and great views from the balcony.

All-inclusive hotels and resorts in Dalmatia

Dalmatia, a southern coastal region of Croatia, spreading from Zadar to the north to the Peljesac peninsula to the south, offers a handful of all-inclusive Croatia hotels and resorts.

Many big tour operators advertise all-inclusive holidays to Split, Croatia to make it easy and memorable for guests flying into the Split airport. However, there aren’t any all-inclusive hotels in Split, Croatia. Instead, they are located along Makarska Riviera (an hour’s drive south of Split).

If you are looking for an all-inclusive hotel in Split, Croatia, you might check out the Ora Hotel . The hotel at least offers a full-board meal plan.

Falkensteiner Funimation Borik, Zadar – $$$

Falkensteiner Funimation Borik, located in Zadar, is one of the best all-inclusive resorts in Croatia. The hotel features 258 rooms and suites, an outdoor swimming pool with a big slide, a hotel’s beach, an Aquapura SPA center, a Falky Land children club and playgrounds, and a sports center.

Their All-inclusive Plus offer includes three meals a day, selected drinks during the meals, snacks at the pool bar throughout the day, free access to the SPA zone, midnight snacks, and also alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks throughout the day at the Tramontana Bar.

Falkensteiner Diadora Hotel, Zadar – $$$$

Located in Punta Scala Resort, 15 km north of Zadar, Falkensteiner Diadora Hotel offers a full-board plus meal plan including three meals a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), with beer, wine, and soft drinks free of charge during meal times. There is a separate kid’s buffet restaurant where your little ones can eat with their peers under the surveillance of the hotel’s staff.

The hotel features 250 rooms (many of them made for families with children), three bars, two a la carte restaurants, the Acquapura wellness and spa center, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, Falky Land indoor and outdoor kid’s world, and great outdoor sports facilities.

Pine Beach Resort, Pakostane – $$

Featuring a natural sandy beach, accommodation in reed huts without electricity, and shared toilets, resort Pine Beach Pakostane is quite unique place to spend your Croatia all-inclusive holidays. It’s a back-to-nature kind of holiday that kids usually love.

You can charge all your devices on solar benches or reception. Food is awesome and plentiful throughout the day, and there are also tons of activities for children and adults.

Bluesun Hotel Neptun, Tucepi – $$$

This great value for a money 3-star hotel in Tucepi, along Makarska Riviera, has an awesome seafront location with lovely views over the sea and the mountains.

Hotel’s 254 rooms are rather smallish but tastefully decorated, clean, and comfy. The all-inclusive formula offers an amplitude of meals, drinks, and a select sports offer. With three meals a day, midnight and afternoon snacks, and 5 o’clock tea, you won’t go hungry in the Bluesun Hotel Neptun.

Facilities include a large outdoor swimming pool complex, a lovely public pebble beach, a buffet restaurant, a lobby, and a pool bar.

If you travel with kids, you’ll like to know that all family rooms are located in annex buildings, but not in the main building.

TUI Blue Makarska

Guests like 4-star all-inclusive hotel TUI Blue Makarska in Igrani for its seafront location; simple but stylish rooms with lovely sea views; all-inclusive service; and an outdoor infinity pool. The hotel is a short walk from the harbor where all shops, bars, and restaurants are.

The all-inclusive TUI Blue Makarska is an adults-only hotel.

TUI Blue Adriatic Beach Resort

A sister hotel of TUI Blue Makarska, Adriatic Beach Resort is also located on the Makarska Riviera. It’s a beachfront hotel in a seaside village of Zivogosce.

TUI Blue Adriatic Beach Resort is a 4-star property featuring 266 rooms. Some of the rooms come with a private plunge pool on the terrace. This makes it a good choice if you are looking for one of the all inclusive Croatia honeymoon hotels. Other facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, buffet restaurant, two a la carte restaurants, and three bars.

Bear in mind that this is a multi-level hotel with lots of stairs.

Dubrovnik all inclusive resorts and hotels

If you are looking for Dubrovnik holidays all inclusive, you’ll be able to choose among a few Dubrovnik all-inclusive resorts.

Some of these all-inclusive hotels are located in the town, while others are in the small coastal villages a short drive from the town of Dubrovnik.

Club Dubrovnik Sunny Hotel – $$

Valamar Club Dubrovnik is the only all-inclusive hotel in Dubrovnik town. The hotel is located on the Babin Kuk peninsula, in the northern part of Dubrovnik.

Valamar Club Dubrovnik offers three meals a day but in a little bit unusual formula. The hotel restaurant serves food in the morning from 7 am to 1 pm in the afternoon, with extended breakfast and brunch offers. Multiple entrances to the restaurant are allowed during that time. Drinks from the dispenser, as well as good quality coffee, are available free of charge during breakfast and brunch. The buffet dinner is served from 7 pm to 9 pm with drinks available for an extra charge.

This hotel, during the summer, caters mostly to families with children.

The rooms have recently been refurbished, clean and comfortable. Other attractive features include an outdoor swimming pool; a pebbly public beach in front of the hotel; and a Maro Club for children aged 3 to 12.

Remisens hotel Epidaurus, Cavtat – $$

Last refurbished in 2017, Remisens Hotel Epidaurus is set on the seafront, and it overlooks the beautiful bay. The hotel offers different meal plans, bed and breakfast, half-board, but also all-inclusive light. The all-inclusive formula gives you three meals a day and a selection of Croatian alcoholic, soft drinks, and other hot and cold beverages throughout the day from 10 am to 11 pm.

Remisens Hotel Epidaurus features 312 rooms, an outdoor swimming pool, and a nice public beach in front of the hotel. Unfortunately, many additional amenities come at a charge, like onsite parking, deck chairs, and sun umbrellas.

Remisens hotel Albatros, Cavtat – $$$

Remisens Hotel Albatros is a sister hotel of Remisens Epidaurus. The two hotels are located one next to another. Albatros is a 4-star hotel featuring 306 rooms, but also an indoor and outdoor swimming pool; wellness and spa center; buffet restaurant; and a couple of bars.

The hotel was last refurbished in 2018.

Aminess Grand Azur Hotel, orebic – $$

The lovely 185-room light all-inclusive Aminess Grand Azur hotel is right at the beachfront. The hotel is also just a short boat hop from Korcula. A pebble beach in front of the hotel is one of the nicest hotel’s beaches of all inclusive Croatia hotels.

Rooms come with classic but elegant decor, and many have wonderful sea views. The hotel is immaculately clean and the staff is super friendly. In summer you’ll see more families with children staying in Azur. Off-season hotel caters to all types of travelers.

Croatia all inclusive hotels on the islands

If you prefer to spend your all inclusive holidays in Croatia on one of the Croatian Islands , we have great news for you. There are a couple of Croatian Islands, from the north to the south, with hotels offering all inclusive formula.

Below is our list of Croatian all-inclusive resorts located on various Croatian islands!

Bluesun Holiday Village Bonaca, Bol – $$$

Bluesun Holiday Village Bonaca on Brac Island is an old-fashioned but clean all-inclusive hotel with friendly staff and a great location, just a 10-minute walk from the famed Zlatni Rat Beach. The rooms have been refurbished for the season 2023!

The resort consists of separate accommodation buildings while the central building features the reception, main buffet restaurant, and an outdoor swimming pool.

The all-inclusive light offer includes 3 meals a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). A selection of drinks is available free of charge during the meals and includes soft drinks, a selection of coffees and teas, Croatian table wine, and draft beer. Hotel Bonaca also has a varied sports offer included in an all-inclusive plan.

TUI Blue Kalamota Island

TUI Blue Kalamota Island Hotel is the only hotel on the car-free Kolocep Island, off the coast of Dubrovnik. Just like other TUI Blue hotels, Kalamota is an adults-only all-inclusive hotel.

The hotel is set on the hill, and it consists of few villas with a number of rooms in each. This also means that there is a decent amount of walking and climbing the stairs. If you aren’t mobile, better ask for accommodation in one of the buildings closer to the sea.

Rooms are nice, clean, and minibar is restocked daily. However, the balconies are very small.

Falkensteiner Park Punat, Krk Island – $$

Refurbished in 2017, hotel Falkensteiner Park Punat consists of two buildings featuring 194 well-appointed rooms. The hotel has two outdoor swimming pools and a slide.

It’s a family-friendly hotel with Falkensteiner’s distinct entertainment programs for children, and well-thought Falky Land playgrounds and children’s play areas.

The hotel is set amidst greenery and just a few meters from the sea. However, the closest public beach is a 10-minute walk from the hotel.

Are all-inclusive properties in Croatia safer than non-all-inclusive?

Croatia, being in the heart of Europe, is generally a very safe country. For this reason, in Croatia, you won’t find closed-off out-of-town all-inclusive resorts where the only locals you see are the ones who work at the resort.

In Croatia, public spaces within the all-inclusive resorts and hotels, are open to locals as well. Remember that in Croatia all beaches are public and there is no way to forbid local people from using them.

All-inclusive properties in Croatia are as safe as non-all-inclusive resorts and hotels in Croatia. They aren’t safer, just as safe.

Croatia all-inclusive resorts and hotels: what to expect

All all-inclusive hotels in Croatia are located along the coast from Umag to Dubrovnik and on the islands. You won’t find any of them in Zagreb or continental Croatia.

The majority of Croatian all-inclusive resorts and hotels are in Istria. Other destinations include islands (Krk, Losinj, Brac, Kolocep), Dalmatia (Zadar, Pakostane, Split, Makarska Riviera), and Dubrovnik Riviera (Dubrovnik, Cavtat, Peljesac).

The majority of all-inclusive hotels in Croatia are within walking distance of the nearest town.

Croatian hotels and resorts aren’t closed-off properties accessible only to tourists and staff. Instead, they are open to all, and locals come around to swim at the beach or have a drink. In Croatia, all beaches are public and they remain accessible to everybody.

The majority of all-inclusive hotels in Croatia either belong to a Croatian hotel chain or are independent properties. You won’t find any all-inclusive international brands.

The only other hotel brands besides Croatian ones are TUI Blue , a UK-based tour operator that applies its standards on locally owned and managed hotels; and Falkensteiner , an Austrian-based hotel brand present in southern and eastern Europe.

There are many all-inclusive family resorts in Croatia. In fact, all-inclusive resorts and hotels are often a synonym for kids-friendly hotels. These two terms are often used interchangeably. However, hotels under the TUI Blue brand are the only adults-only all-inclusive properties in Croatia.

The majority, if not all, all-inclusive resorts and hotels have direct beach access.

The service in these properties is usually very good.

Meals and Drinks

There are basically two types of all-inclusive hotels in Croatia: all-inclusive and all-inclusive light. All-inclusive is pretty straightforward, you get five meals a day, an open bar all day long, and all programs and facilities are included in the room rate.

All-inclusive light, on the other hand, we need to explain better, as this is mostly the formula you’ll find in the majority of Croatian all-inclusive hotels.

All-inclusive light will get you three meals a day, as well as a selection of drinks, included free of charge during the meals. Some hotels also have an afternoon snack or ice cream for children in the mini club. Otherwise, there aren’t afternoon or midnight snacks for adults, nor free drinks throughout the day.

The majority of all-inclusive resorts and hotels serve buffet meals . And only some of them give the option to the guests to upgrade to the onsite a la carte restaurant once during their stay.

Otherwise, if you would like to have a served dinner , you’ll need to pay extra.

A selection of drinks usually includes unbranded soft drinks, draught wine and beer, local liquors, and water. Should you feel like having a Pepsi or Coke, or your favorite beer, you’ll pay extra.

The quality and variety of food are usually good, and it depends on the hotel category. Eg. 4-star properties usually have a better buffet than 3-star properties.

What is an all-inclusive resort?

Croatia all-inclusive resorts provide you more for your money and reduce your planning stress. While their exact offerings will vary, you can usually expect meals and drinks to be included with your room rate, often with unlimited options. That’s what we call a relaxing vacation!

Many resorts also include activities, plus evening entertainment options such as live shows or theme parties. Tips and gratuities are usually included too (though still welcome).

Does all-inclusive include alcohol?

Most all-inclusive resorts in Croatia will include alcohol in their all-inclusive rates. However, they may charge extra for things like premium or imported spirits. Always check the details of your resort before booking, as there are some that do not include alcoholic beverages.

Does “all-inclusive” include flights to Croatia?

All-inclusive resort rates typically do not include flights. Your room rate includes only what you need once you’ve landed, like food, drinks, and entertainment. That’s where Travelocity’s all-inclusive packages come in. You can bundle your all-inclusive accommodation and your flight to Croatia to get you the best rate—and peace of mind knowing everything is taken care of.

Everything you need is nearby, from delicious restaurants to daily activities, and night-time entertainment. There’s no limit to your fun, and you never have to watch your spending, because it’s all included.

Best time to visit croatia.

Croatia's peak season runs between July and August, with temperatures in the high 60s or mid 80s on the coast. But in this region, you can expect plenty of sunshine from May to October, which are the best times to visit if you want to take advantage of Croatia's beautiful beaches and islands. The inland areas are also hot in the summer but can get cold in the winter with low temperatures and snowfall. Winter on the coast is milder and frequent rain can be expected.

Read more about the best time to visit Croatia

Culture and customs

Generally, Croatians are very proud of their country and cultural heritage. While this may not be obvious in everyday life, the Slavic heritage of Croatian people becomes more evident during festivals and national holidays, where cities and villages come to life with traditional costume, folk music and feasts. While most of Croatia's population are Roman Catholic, there are also groups of people who identify as Serbian Orthodox, Muslim, Protestant and Jewish. Having endured war, hardship and frequent earthquakes, the people of Croatia have a great amount of national pride and connection to their country and family. It's quite common for extended families to live together and children to remain close to their parents well into adulthood. Time for leisure and family is highly valued, particularly along the coast, where many offices end their day at 3pm.

Eating and drinking

Croatian cuisine   is heavily influenced by its surrounding countries. Separated from Italy by the Adriatic Sea, cuisine along the coast tends to have more of a Mediterranean flair. Fish and seafood are integral to many coastal dishes, such as brodet (fish stew) and crni rizot (black risotto made with squid). Homemade pasta and olive oil are also dietary staples. Further inland, you’ll find heartier dishes with Austrian, Hungarian, and Turkish influences such as cobanac (a goulash-like stew) and kulen (paprika-seasoned sausage).

Foodies will definitely want to visit Istria – home to award-winning olive oil, wild asparagus, rare white truffles and excellent wines – which has gained an international reputation as a foodie destination.

Croatians enjoy their beer (Karlovacko and Ozujsko are two of the most popular local brews), but they love their kava (coffee). Take a cue from the locals and spend a morning people-watching at a cafe over a kava – it’s a Saturday morning tradition in Zagreb. Rakija (brandy) is the spirit of choice, with many restaurants offering a small glass before a meal. Another favorite is Pelinkovac, a must-try bitter liqueur.

Things to try in Croatia

1. Pasticada

A slow-cooked beef dish usually served with gnocchi. This Dalmatian staple can be found in many restaurants in this region.

2. Manestra

There are many variations to Istria’s hearty take on minestrone soup, but it usually includes beans, corn and meat.

3. Paski sir

This popular hard cheese is produced exclusively from the milk of sheep on the Island of Pag. It gets its unique pungent taste from the sheep’s aromatic herb diet.

These grilled skinless sausages are common throughout Croatia and are usually served with onions and ajvar (a red bell pepper relish) on a flatbread

Geography and environment

Sharing borders with  Bosnia and Herzegovina ,  Slovenia ,  Hungary ,  Serbia  and  Montenegro , Croatia benefits from more than 5,000 km of coastline that spans along the Adriatic Sea. In addition to the mainland, Croatia also has many islands, some inhabited, some not. Croatia's terrain is very diverse and varies from flat plains to low mountains and highlands, limestone karst cliffs, wetlands, lakes and forests of cypress. Nature reserves and wetland areas are home to large populations of migratory birds, deer, bats and bears. Visitors will also see much of the land is used for agriculture with vineyards, lavender fields, olive groves and orchards being prevalent in rural areas. Croatia's cities, while developed, have managed to maintain a high level of charm with cobblestone streets, ancient housing, historic squares and heritage buildings being preserved and still used by the current population.

History and government

Early history.

Archaeological evidence suggests that the land now known as Croatia has been occupied by humans since the Stone Age. Croatia's geographical position in  Europe  allowed a great amount of influence from neighboring regions, with tribes and people from different cultures and groups making their mark. The first Kingdom of Croatia was formed in 925 but by the 12th century Croatia had formed a union with Hungary, with a Hungarian King instated as leader of both territories. During the 15th century, Croatia lost territory to the Ottoman Empire and, in later centuries, once again came under Hungarian rule. Evidence of these many cultural influences can be seen in the architecture, cuisine and archaeological ruins of contemporary Croatia.

Recent history

Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia formed a union in 1918 to create the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, but the occupation of Axis forces during World War II lead to the creation of the Independent State of Croatia, which only lasted a couple of years during the war. By the end of the war in 1945, Croatia had become a Socialist Republic (within the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, together with Bosnia, Serbia, Slovenia, Macedonia and Montenegro), with the constitution of 1963 attempting to alleviate tensions surrounding the balance of power between Serbians and Croats. By 1980, after the death of President Tito (founder of modern Yugoslavia), economic and political difficulties resulted in a near collapse of government. What followed was years of conflict, polarity and political turmoil. The referendum of 1991 resulted in an overwhelming vote for independence, with Croatia and Slovenia declaring independence from Yugoslavia in June of the same year. Much armed conflict followed and lasted until 1995, leading to great loss of civilian life and displacement, creating large populations of refugees. However, the last two decades have been a time of peace and reconciliation for the people of Croatia and the country even joined the European Union in 2013.

Top 10 historic buildings of Croatia

1. cathedral of the assumption of the virgin mary.

One of Zagreb’s most visited historic sites, this grand neo-Gothic cathedral has been renovated and reconstructed many times since it was originally built in the 13th century. With massive twin spires, a marble interior and 800-year-old treasury, this is a monumental masterpiece.

2. Church of St Donatus

Considered one of the most impressive examples of early Byzantine architecture, this church in Zadar was built way back in the 9th century. With much historical value, its simplistic, circular design is quite unlike other buildings in Croatia, making it a standout, must-see church in a country with so many churches and cathedrals to see.

3. Croatian National Theatre

Built in 1895, this national treasure located in Zagreb is an elegant example of neo-Baroque style architecture. Visitors lucky enough to catch an opera, ballet or classical music concert here will be able to revel in all the fine details, from the luxe furnishings to the excellent acoustics.

4. Diocletian’s Palace

One of Split’s main attractions, this UNESCO World Heritage monument is considered one of the best-preserved Roman palaces in the world. The sprawling complex is home to many fine examples of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture, so visitors will be able to admire open-air courtyards, marble arches, columns, gates and walls from a variety of different periods.

5. Cathedral of St Lovro

This cathedral located 30 minutes from Split is well known for its distinct Romanesque portal crafted by one of Croatia's most celebrated sculptors, Radovan. Mythological creatures and biblical figures all feature heavily, with saints, lions, sirens and centaurs all gracing the spectacular doorways.

6. Rector’s Palace

Also known as Dubrovnik Museum, Rector’s Palace is an impressive building in itself. With soaring arches, period furniture and a dramatic staircase, this structure steals the show from the museum exhibits it holds within.

7. Dubrovnik Synagogue

Reported to be the second oldest synagogue in Europe and the world’s oldest Sefardic synagogue still in use, Dubrovnik’s synagogue is still a place for the local Jewish community to worship on holy days. Sustaining damage from earthquakes and wars, this small but well-cared-for structure stills stands today due to its historical value and unique design.

8. Marco Polo Tower

While not the most elaborate or opulent building in Croatia, the Marco Polo Tower of Korcula has much historical significance. It is believed that Marco Polo was born in this medieval, walled city and this tower named in his honor rises above the town as a reminder of his legacy. Climb to the top for phenomenal views and panoramic photo opportunities.

9. Franciscan Monastery

Featuring 14th-century cloisters, intricately carved columns and a striking, sculptured facade this Dubrovnik wonder is also home to the third oldest pharmacy in Europe, so you can get a prescription filled while seeing the sights.

10. Trakoscan Castle

This lovely castle located in northern Croatia was inhabited from the 13th century right up until the 1940s. Featuring all good things a castle should have - including a dungeon, hunting room and tower - visiting here is like stepping back to a time when castles weren’t just historical monuments, but actual places to live.

Top places to visit in Croatia

1. islands of kornati.

There are plenty of enchanting islands along the coast of Croatia but perhaps none more so than the secluded Kornati, a collection of 89 spectacular islands full of islets and reef systems just waiting to be explored. Known as the largest and densest archipelago in the Adriatic region, the Kornatis present the perfect way to spend a couple of days with beautiful bays to swim in and fascinating nature parks to adventure through.

2. Dubrovnik

Steeped in both beauty and history, Dubrovnik’s UNESCO-listed Old Town is, quite simply, the undisputed jewel of the Dalmatian Coast. With its beautiful white stone-covered buildings, tiled-roof houses, and limestone streets all encompassed within sea-facing city walls, this city is full of charm and splendour. Whether you want to wander the bustling streets on foot or view the town from the sparkling water of the Adriatic Sea, Dubrovnik is one character-filled city you can’t miss. Wander the cobblestoned streets of Dubrovnik on our 15 day Dubrovnik to Athens tour or on our 15 day Dubrovnik to Bled tour.

If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Dubrovnik then setting sail for the small island of Lokrum is the best way to achieve it. Covered in lush vegetation and surrounded by sparkling blue waters you’re never going to want to leave, this sleepy island presents the perfect opportunity to relax under the warm Croatian sun. Whether you want to soak up the rays on rocks by the sea or wander through the Botanical Garden, you’re guaranteed to find peace within Lokrum’s stunning surroundings. Sail to the small island of Lokrum on our 10 day Dubrovnik to Venice tour or on our 8 day Explore Croatia adventure.

Another day, another magnificent city in Croatia to adventure through; this time, it’s Zadar. Once the capital city of Dalmatia, Zadar boasts a rich heritage that’s easily visible when you start wandering its ancient buildings such as the Roman Forum and St Donatus’ Church. From walking through cultural exhibitions at the Museum of Church Art and exploring the spirited fish markets at the port to admiring the ‘Greeting to the Sun’, a modern monument dedicated to the sun, this energetic destination will surely capture your heart (and your camera’s remaining storage). Explore historic Zadar on our 8 day Croatia & Slovenia tour.

Packed with a rich history you’re going to want to explore, Korcula Island is a hidden gem with as many beautiful sights and ancient buildings as some of the bigger islands, such as Hvar, but without the crowds. Offering a lot of sun to soak up, plenty of golden sandy beaches to lie on, and an abundance of sparkling blue waters to swim in, this seaside destination is truly one-of-a-kind. And you can't forget about the food. From traditional beef stews to the sweet delicacy of travarica, you'll never go hungry in Korcula. Marvel at the sights of Korcula on our 8 day Croatian Coastal Cruising or on our 7 day Cycle Croatia tour.

Split may be Croatia’s second largest city (after Zagreb) but it’s first when it comes to personality and soul with historic streets, a World-Heritage listed palace, and a vibrant mix of shops, cafes, and restaurants scattered throughout its picturesque Old Town. From sipping on frothy kava at a table on the Riva waterfront promenade to listening to street musicians filling ancient courtyards with their sweet sounds, Split promises to take your Croatian tour to another level. Eat your way through Split on our 11 day Slovenia & Croatia Real Food Adventure.

7. Plitvice Lakes National Park

If you thought Croatia couldn’t get any more beautiful, only one visit to Plitvice Lakes National Park is enough to make you change your mind. Gaining World Heritage listed status 20 years ago, this spectacular park covers 19 hectares of wooded hills and 16 turquoise-covered lakes all connected by a series of waterfalls that won’t hesitate to take your breath away. Whether you want to spot some wild animals (think wolves, deer, and birds), wander through the park’s forest vegetation, or simply marvel at the captivating landscape that surrounds you, this dazzling park will be etched in your mind forever. Walk through Plitvice Lakes National Park on our 26 day Budapest to Rome adventure or on our 17 day Dubrovnik to Rome tour.

If culture’s what you’re after, then visiting the spirited city of Zagreb should be high on your Croatia bucket list. Bursting with museums such as the quirky Museum of Broken Relationships or the more traditional Croatian Museum of Naïve Art, and historic locations such as the Mirogoj Cemetery and Lotrščak Tower, you’ll never run out of things to do in Zagreb. Perfect for exploring on foot, this lively destination blends the best of crafts, cuisine, and culture for an adventure you’ll want to relive over and over again. Absorb the Croatian culture on our 19 day Budapest to Venice tour or on our 10 day Dubrovnik to Venice tour.

On the surface, Osijek may seem like just another breathtaking Croatian town but as soon as you start wandering its streets full of grand buildings and popular landmarks, you’ll see why it deserves to be explored. With a laidback atmosphere and bubbling personality, this town will easily have you entranced from its many cafes and restaurants lining the Drava River to its captivating medieval structures. Spend your time walking through the Museum of Slavonia or strolling down the European Avenue for an in-depth look at this remarkable region. Stroll the streets of Osijek on our 29 day Vienna to Dubrovnik tour or on our 15 day Balkan Adventure.

If Dubrovnik is known as the ‘Jewel of the Dalmatian Coast’ then Hvar is the ‘Queen of the Dalmatian Islands’ thanks to its picture-perfect town full of wonderfully preserved Renaissance facades. Boasting plenty to do including admiring the views of the town and the Adriatic Sea from the Spanjola Fortress, wandering the streets full of unusual boutiques and interesting galleries, and sipping on cocktails at a bar by the water, this spectacular island town is like something straight out of a fairytale. 

Croatia has an interesting mix of quaint outdoor markets, modern malls and hip clothing boutiques. There's plenty of options that make better souvenirs than the usual lurid magnets or tourist t-shirts.

It's a good idea to check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to bring certain items back into your home country. The   United States   and   Canada  generally have strict customs laws.

Things to buy in Croatia

1. Local produce

If you're able to take food products back to your home country, then Croatia's markets are filled with delicious gourmet produce. Honey, olives, cheese, wine and lavender products are good choices that help to support local farmers and the rural economy.

2. Traditional handicrafts

Embroidered tablecloths, handmade dolls and lace from the island of Pag make authentic gifts for friends back home.

3. Natural cosmetics

Croatia has many brands of natural soap, body butter and shower gel derived from ingredients like olive oil, goat's milk, lavender, almond oil and seaweed.

Festivals and events

Dance week festival.

This celebration of dance and movement hits Zagreb each year. Featuring a diverse range of contemporary and traditional dance from local and international dancers and choreographers, the eclectic program highlights the artistic vision of many coming together to celebrate their love of dance.

Dubrovnik Summer Festival

Classical music, theatre, dance and opera combine to create an enriching program of events performed in open air venues around Dubrovnik. Held every year since 1949, Croatia's temperate summer climate ensures the perfect conditions for outdoor performances.

International Folklore Festival

Croatia travel faqs, do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

Do you need a visa to visit Croatia?

Visas are the responsibility of the individual traveler. Entry requirements can change at any time, so it's important that you check for the latest information. Please visit the relevant consular website of the country or countries you’re visiting for detailed and up-to-date visa information specific to your nationality. Check the Essential Trip Information section of the itinerary for more information.

Is tipping customary in Croatia?

Tipping isn't mandatory in Croatia, although feel free to round up the bill or leave spare change for wait staff. Tip more if the service has been particularly good. Some restaurants and cafes will already include a 10-15% margin in the bill, to account for taxes and tips. In this case, generally no further tip is required.

What is the internet access like in Croatia?

Travelers will be able to access the internet at internet cafes and hotels in Croatia's large cities and tourist-orientated towns. Expect less internet accessibility in rural areas.

Will my cell phone work in Croatia?

Cell phone coverage is generally very good in Croatia's large cities and urban areas. Islands and remote areas may have less reliable service.

Ensure global roaming is activated with your service provider before arrival.

What are the toilets like in Croatia?

Western-style, flushable toilets are the norm in Croatia's cities and urban centres.

Can I drink the water in Croatia?

Tap water is considered safe to drink in Croatia; however, due to the different mineral content, some people may get stomach upsets from the drinking water if they aren't used to it. A better option is finding filtered water rather than relying on bottled water.

Are credit cards accepted widely in Croatia?

Large hotels, restaurants and tourist sites will most likely accept credit cards. Always carry enough cash for smaller purchases and when shopping at vendors like market stalls and smaller cafes and hotels, which may not have credit card facilities.

What is ATM access like in Croatia?

ATMs are readily available throughout Croatia. Cities and large towns will have more ATM access than small villages or rural areas, so prepare accordingly if traveling out of urban areas.

What is the weather like in Croatia?

Croatia's climate is split into two different regions - along the coast and in the mainland.

Depending on which region you're travelling to, the weather may vary slightly with temperatures higher in the mainland area due to a lack of sea breeze.

Winter temperatures are also lower in the mainland with snowfall expected and enjoyed, whereas on the coast, snowfall is quite uncommon.

Is Croatia a safe destination for LGBTQIA+ travelers?

Discretion is advised for LGBTQIA+ travelers in Croatia. Homosexuality has been legal in Croatia since 1977 and is tolerated but not widely accepted. Public displays of affection between same-sex couples may be met with hostility in lesser populated cities. Gay venues are virtually non-existent outside Zagreb but this is improving every year. 

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting   Equaldex   or   ILGA   before you travel.

What's the transport like in Croatia?

Intrepid believes half the fun of experiencing a new country is getting there, and getting around once there! Where possible, Intrepid uses local transport options and traditional modes of transport - which usually carry less of an environmental impact, support small local operators and are heaps more fun.

Depending on which trip you're on while in Croatia, you may find yourself traveling by:

No tourist coaches here! Travel through Croatia the way the locals do, aboard a local bus. It's a cheap, reliable and authentic way to get around.

Trip: Explore Croatia

Amazing views and quick access to the islands - what better way to see Croatia's splendid coast than aboard a ferry?

Trip: Cycle Croatia

Trip: Dubrovnik to Bled

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.
