🌊 RIJEKA
This is the luxury option I'd put at the top of the Rijeka section. It's a 5-star beachfront resort, so it's obviously not the cheapest hotel on this list, but it's a good choice if someone wants to spend more for a proper resort experience. I'd incl...
Hilton Rijeka Costabella Beach Resort & Spa
🌅 PULA
This is one of the better options if you're looking for a more affordable stay around Pula. It's a 4-star resort with a pool and accommodation designed more for a relaxed holiday. I especially like it for people travelling with family or friends who ...
Family Resort Del Mar in Medulin - Instant Booking
A great choice if you care about being close to the beach and surrounded by nature. It's a 3-star hotel with a very strong guest rating, plus pools, restaurants and wellness facilities. I'd choose this for a summer trip where the beach is more import...
Park Plaza Arena Pula
🌊 MAKARSKA
A 4-star hotel in a great location for exploring Makarska. I like this one if you want something a little nicer but don't necessarily want a huge resort. Current prices start around €146 per night, although summer dates can be considerably more expen...
Hotel Biokovo in Makarska - Welcome
A 4-star hotel that's a really good option if you want a more complete summer experience. It's right in Makarska and close to the waterfront, so you can easily combine beach days with evening walks and restaurants. The hotel currently has an excellen...
Valamar Meteor Hotel, Makarska, Croatia
🏖️ ŠIBENIK
This is a really interesting option if being close to the beach is your priority. The hotel is surrounded by pine trees and sits right by the Adriatic coast, with a nearby sandy beach. I think it's especially nice for someone who wants a relaxing sum...
Hotel Niko | Beach Hotel in Šibenik, Croatia
🌴 SPLIT
I’d consider this hotel if I wanted to visit Split while keeping accommodation costs reasonable. It’s a simple and practical option for a summer trip, especially if you're planning to spend most of your time exploring the city, going to the beach and...
Hotel As
I really like this option because the location is one of its biggest advantages. Staying in the Old Town means you're close to restaurants, cafés, shops and the main sights, so you can explore a lot of Split on foot. It would be especially good for a...
Split Old Town Suites
I’d choose this one if being close to the beach is more important than staying directly in the centre of Split. It's in Podstrana, just outside Split, which gives you a more relaxed seaside atmosphere while still keeping the city close enough for day...
Beach Hotel Bozikovina
👀zadar
A nice 3-star option in Zadar if you want to stay close to the sea without going for a luxury hotel. I like the location for a summer trip because you can easily combine beach time with exploring the city. It also has free Wi-Fi, a restaurant and wel...
Hotel Delfin
A modern 3-star hotel that I'd consider if you want something comfortable while still keeping the trip reasonably priced. The rooms have useful extras like coffee makers and minibars, and the hotel is around a 15-minute walk from Zadar Market. It's a...
