There are fewer beds for rent and more and more vacation rentals: be careful who you invite!

Croatia has experienced a significant decrease in available beds in family accommodations this summer, with over 6,700 fewer beds compared to last year, according to data from the Croatian Tourism Board (HTZ). This decline is attributed to legal restrictions and increased costs, leading some rental providers to withdraw their capacity due to financial unsustainability. Meanwhile, the number of beds in weekend cottages and non-commercial accommodation has risen by nearly 27,000 compared to last year, continuing a growth trend. The HTZ notes that while family accommodations have seen a slight decline, non-commercial accommodations like weekend cottages continue to expand. New regulations now classify stays of individuals who are not immediate family members in private homes or holiday properties as unregistered hospitality services if they occur repeatedly or in an organized manner.

The town’s secluded location, sandy beaches, and low-cost amenities make it attractive for families and older couples seeking a relaxed holiday.
