Cheap Holidays to Croatia in September

These mainland and coastal resorts tend to offer the best balance of price and atmosphere once the summer peak has passed.

• Makarska: Cheap Resorts in September: Acharavi on Corfu's north coast offers some of the island's best value in September. Prices soften after the August peak, the sea stays warm for swimming well into the month, and the long sandy beach is far quieter than the south. Families and couples can enjoy relaxed tavernas, easy access to Paleokastritsa, and comfortable mid-range hotels without paying top-season rates. It is exactly the brief our Croatia holidays deals are built around.
• Brela: Brela is a small village on the Riviera's coastline, known for the pine-fringed beach of Punta Rata, where the water is clear and the shoreline is compact. In September the coastal paths and beach bars are quieter, and accommodation is generally easier to secure at short notice. The village is small, so you will rely on buses or taxis for nightlife, but for a peaceful base with good swimming it remains one of our strongest value picks this month.
• Omis: Omis lies where the Cetina river meets the Adriatic, with a dramatic gorge behind the town and a historic old quarter that shelters under a fortress. In September the river and sea are still warm, and day trips to the gorge and nearby beaches are easier to fit in without queues at the boat landings. It is a little less developed than the larger resorts, which keeps prices modest, the same brief our Croatia Last Minute Holidays deals are built around, though you will need a car or bus ride for some of the best swimming spots.
• Crikvenica: Crikvenica is a traditional seaside town on the Kvarner coast, with a long promenade, pebble beaches and a range of family-run hotels. Its accommodation tends to remain reasonably priced in September, and the town's compact centre makes it easy to walk everywhere without paying for taxis. The trade-off is that the nightlife is gentler than in busier resorts, so it suits guests who want a quiet, sociable base rather than a lively party scene.
• Novi Vinodolski: Novi Vinodolski is a quiet town on the Kvarner coast with a historic core and easy access to the island bridge and regional transport links. In September the seafront remains open and the sea is still warm enough for a long swim, while room rates are typically more modest than in the busiest resorts. Its tourist infrastructure is smaller, so it suits independent travellers who are happy to plan their own days out and make the most of a low-cost, low-fuss stay.
