Top 10 All-Inclusive Resorts in Croatia

·Officially confirmed family resort with Maro kids programming

Valamar Bellevue is a family all-inclusive above Rabac on Istria's east coast, for parents who want polished kids' programming and a Blue Flag beach. It is a true plan in a country where they are still rare, about 44 minutes from Pula's airport, on a pine-clad bay with the resort stepping down the hillside to the water, and the beaches here are pebble rather than sand. That last point decides more holidays than the brochure admits, and water shoes settle it.

·Direct access to very clear Adriatic water.

·Direct beach access with clear, calm Adriatic water.

·Clear Adriatic beachfront location

Girandella is a resort of separate sections above Rabac in Istria, for families who want the Adriatic and book the right building. It is about an hour from Pula, with 391 rooms, five restaurants, themed pools and a children's pool, on a white-pebble beachfront with Rabac itself within a walk. All-inclusive belongs to the Family Hotel and Maro Suites & Villas sections only, so the section you book is the plan you get.

·Only-hotel island feel with a calm, car-free setting.

TUI BLUE Kalamota Island is an adults-only resort on a car-free island off Dubrovnik, reached only by boat. It has 144 rooms across eight villas, one pool with a jacuzzi, three restaurants and three bars, on Kolocep, where there are no cars and the resort is effectively the island. The crossing from Dubrovnik takes about half an hour, and the airport is an hour beyond that.

·Strong official all-inclusive evidence.

·Attractive seafront bay location

·Direct Tučepi beachfront location.

Bluesun Hotel Alga is a beachfront four-star at Tucepi on the Makarska Riviera, for families who want the Adriatic and a short walk into town. It is about two hours from Split's airport, with 377 rooms, two restaurants and indoor, outdoor and children's pools, on the pebble beach that runs the length of Tucepi. The board plans are the thing to read here: full board and all-inclusive are both sold, and the difference between them is the drinks.

·Natural sandy bay setting on the Adriatic.

Pine Beach Pakostane is an eco-camp all-inclusive on a sandy Adriatic bay in Dalmatia, for active families who want sailing and kayaking included. Windsurfing is in the package too, and there is no pool, by design. It is reached from Zadar's airport, and it is unlike anything else on this site: bungalows made of natural materials with no electricity and shared bathrooms, mobile homes with air conditioning and kitchens, one buffet restaurant and no pool at all. The beach and the water sports are the whole point.
