What are the benefits of renting a holiday home with a private pool in Croatia?

Many guests choose to stay in a holiday home with a private pool because of its privacy and comfort.

You can spend your holidays preparing BBQ in a summer kitchen, dining on the terrace with sea views, and lounging by the private pool. The properties are big and spacious, ideal for outdoor activities. What’s more, interior spaces are just as spacious and convenient, from large open-space living areas to multiple bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

Families with children and friend groups seeking relaxation usually choose a holiday home over a hotel. A private pool is a particularly popular amenity during the peak summer months when beaches are crowded. Holiday homes are also better for longer stays, as you get more value for your money.

If you’re looking for a good balance between a villa and apartments, we always recommend a holiday home. You’ll get more comfort and privacy than in an apartment, but it’s more affordable and practical than a luxury villa with a pool.

How much does a holiday home with a pool in Croatia cost?

Typically, the price of a holiday home with a pool in Croatia depends on its location, number of bedrooms, and level of luxury. If it’s close to the sea, has a large capacity, and high-end amenities like a heated pool, it will be most expensive. There’s also a difference between the low season, shoulder season, and peak summer season.

The starting prices range from €150 to €600 per night, with an average of about €308 per night for properties accommodating around 8 guests, which equals roughly €40 per person per night.

Bearing this in mind, many families and large groups choose holiday homes over hotels, because they get more value for less money.

However, we always recommend booking early for better availability and pricing.

Which regions in Croatia are best for renting a holiday home with a pool?

Location plays an important role in choosing your dream holiday home, so we’ll try to help you find one that best suits your travel needs.

In fact, there are 4 main regions for holiday homes in Croatia: Istria, Central Dalmatia, South Dalmatia, and the islands.

Holiday Home Cherry Hill in the Porec area

The Istrian peninsula offers a wide range of destinations, from stunning coastal towns with rich histories to small, peaceful hilltop villages overlooking vineyards and olive groves. In fact, most of our holiday homes with a pool are located in central Istria. This location is also popular due to its proximity to central Europe. If you’re arriving by car from Germany or Austria, this is definitely the most convenient option.

Another widely popular destination is Central Dalmatia, especially the Split area. Split is the heart of coastal Croatia and the country’s second-largest city. It’s one of the best bases for travellers looking to visit National Park, smaller coastal cities, and islands like Brac and Hvar. While Split is an urban city with mostly apartments in the centre, you can find many stunning holiday homes in the nearby towns like Kastela, which is just a short drive away.

Dubrovnik is the southernmost region in Croatia. In fact, it’s one of the most prestigious destinations in Europe, known for its Old Town and City Walls. The city’s been featured in many Hollywood movies and popular TV shows, such as Game of Thrones. In the summertime, the picturesque Old Town is quite busy and full of tourists, so many of our guests prefer to stay in the peaceful holiday homes outside Dubrovnik to get the best of both worlds: easy access to the UNESCO-listed attractions and a relaxed holiday.

No matter which destination in Croatia you choose for your holidays, you can’t go wrong. Best of all, Croatia is a small country, so if you book a longer stay and have a car, you can take day trips to various areas and explore as much as possible.

When is the best time to book a holiday home with a pool in Croatia?

The best time to book a holiday home in Croatia is about six to 12 months before your arrival. However, this depends on your flexibility and requirements. Some guests prefer to wait for last-minute deals, but please keep in mind that your selection will be limited and the most popular holiday homes fill up quickly.

The best season to visit depends on your travel style. Of course, July and August are the most popular months. The reasons are good weather with long, sunny days and the warmest sea temperatures.

On the other hand, it’s becoming increasingly popular to travel in the shoulder season, which is May to June and September to October. Some advantages include lower prices and fewer crowds. The weather is also pleasant and warm.

So, if you want to secure a stay in our most wanted holiday homes during the summer months, make sure you book at least six months in advance.

What amenities should you expect in a holiday home with a pool in Croatia?

The amenities mostly depend on the holiday home in Croatia you choose.

Holiday Home Tranquil with Pool

All holiday homes in VIP Holiday Booker’s portfolio include a private pool. Other standard features you can expect include a terrace with outdoor dining, BBQ or summer kitchen, parking, garden, and sea views. Please note that not all holiday homes in Croatia have these features, so make sure to check the list on our website and the photos, and ask your concierge agents for further clarification, if necessary.

What’s more, you can choose a holiday home with luxury amenities, such as a heated pool, sauna, jacuzzi, and a home gym. Entertainment options often include fun family activities such as gaming consoles, darts, a foosball table, and sports courts.

Are holiday homes with a pool in Croatia suitable for families or groups?

Yes, in fact, holiday homes are one of the best options for families or large groups. They are spacious and comfortable, and accommodate 8 to 12 people in multiple bedrooms, shared living spaces, and private outdoor areas.

There are plenty of benefits for families and friend groups who book a holiday home. For example, the entire group can stay together in one place. It’s definitely much more convenient and fun when you’re all together by the private pool, dining on the terrace, or simply enjoying movie nights in the living room.

Meanwhile, your group doesn’t share any spaces with strangers, which is often important for families with children.

What’s more, holiday homes provide good value for money. The shared costs are often more affordable than multiple hotel rooms.

All things considered, holiday homes are the perfect place to enjoy private, authentic, and flexible family time in Croatia.
