OUR FAVORITE HOTELS IN CROATIA
During all our travels, we’re not just on the lookout for the best spots and activities—we also love discovering the best places to stay. A comfortable home base is, in our opinion, one of the most important parts of any trip. In Croatia, we found a range of excellent hotels, apartments, and B&Bs. Some are located in stunning natural settings, in centuries-old city centers, or even on charming farms. Below, you’ll find our favorite places to stay across Croatia. While there are a lot of apartments in the country, we’ve included at least one hotel option for every destination. All of these hostels and hotels are very popular, so it’s a good idea to book early.
Note: We list starting prices. Hotel rates vary greatly depending on your travel dates and how far in advance you book. Prices can increase significantly if you book last-minute or travel during peak season.
