Hotels in Rab, Croatia

Rab is a Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea, famous for its sandy beaches (a rarity on the rocky coast) and the medieval Rab Old Town with its four iconic bell towers. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot summers (around 86°F / 30°C) perfect for swimming at Rajska plaža (Paradise Beach) in Lopar, and mild winters (around 50°F / 10°C) ideal for strolling the cobblestone streets and visiting the 12th-century St. Mary's Cathedral. If you visit in July, you can catch the Rapska fjera festival with costumed archery contests; if you come in spring or fall, you'll find fewer crowds and cheaper rentals for kayaking or cycling along the 22-mile coastal path.
