Croatia in the all-inclusive dilemma: holidaymakers search in vain for offers!
A recent discussion about all-inclusive holidays in Croatia was sparked by a query in an online forum. The questioner was looking for an all-inclusive hotel with a pool and a sandy beach. The reactions to his request were divided. Some users explained that all-inclusive is not very common in Croatia, while others pointed to well-known hotel chains such as Valamar and Plava Laguna that offer all-inclusive packages. It was noted that while all-inclusive hotels do exist, they are not nearly as common as in other vacation destinations.
Critics point out that all-inclusive in Croatia does not fit the country's typical holiday philosophy and recommend enjoying the local cuisine. Nevertheless, there were specific recommendations for all-inclusive options in popular holiday resorts such as Poreč, the island of Rab and Umag.
Decline in the number of holidaymakers
In the summer of 2025, Croatia will record a noticeable decline in the number of holidaymakers, especially from Germany. Around 3.5 million Germans visited the country in 2022, but the Croatian National Tourist Board confirms that visitor numbers have fallen. Price increases and a tense economic situation in Germany have caused many travelers to reduce their expenses and cater for themselves in holiday apartments.
Reviews of all-inclusive hotels
However, the all-inclusive hotels available in Croatia often receive positive reviews. According to holidaymakers, they are particularly suitable for active holidaymakers and beach lovers. With a first-class pool area and fantastic views, they offer families and couples a high-quality holiday atmosphere. The facilities are characterized by excellent cleanliness and good accessibility. Mini golf and a pebble beach as well as the proximity to the water also contribute to the attractiveness of these hotels. Many visitors also appreciate the price-performance ratio and the ability to receive German television.
In summary, while all-inclusive is not the norm in Croatia, there are definitely recommended options that will suit the needs of both families and couples. However, the question of whether this is the right choice for vacationers remains open, given the cultural essence of the country.
