10 Best hotels in Croatia with a beach and all inclusive: where to stay

Croatia is known for its clean Adriatic waters, pine forests right at the water's edge, and a long string of beaches along the coast. We've rounded up ten hotels in Croatia where the beach is close by, and at most of them food and drinks are already included in the price.

Most of the hotels on the list operate on an all-inclusive basis. Hotel Orsan and Hotel Faraon offer breakfast only. At Park Plaza Verudela, some guests cook for themselves. They are located in Orebic, Pula, Porec, Zadar, Trpanj, Gradac, and Dubrovnik, so each has its own shoreline character and its own promenade area. Aminess Grand Azur in Orebic has a fine-pebble beach and two outdoor freshwater pools (verified 09/14/2026 on the official Aminess website).
