5-star hotels in Krk
This shortlist gathers the 5-star stays on the island of Krk, from a full-service hotel with an indoor pool to villas and apartments with private outdoor pools. It is for travellers who want top-category comfort and are choosing between a town base and a quieter village.
Staying in Krk
Krk is an island in the Adriatic Sea, in the Kvarner Gulf, and it is joined to the mainland by the Krk Bridge. The main towns are Krk, Baška, Malinska and Njivice, each with its own atmosphere. The island's beaches and waters suit swimming and outdoor activity through the warm months, and the site notes that Krk has many family-friendly beaches and activities and is generally safe and welcoming for children.
These hotels are spread across the island rather than clustered in one resort area, which shapes the choice. Only Orfeo sits close to the centre of Krk Town, at 0.9 km, and Krk Premium Camping Resort is 2.0 km out. Several addresses are in the villages of Rova (Hadrie Luxury Resort And Vilas Rova, Luxury Villa Luce, Luxury Apartments Villa Mande) and Lokvic near Kornic (three homes at 3.8 km to 3.8 km), with others at Kosici, Majer, Brusici, Zgaljici and Bajcici. Couples wanting restaurants and the harbour on the doorstep look to Orfeo; groups and families wanting a pool and space favour the villas and apartments.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Krk is connected to the mainland by the Krk Bridge, so you can drive or take a bus from cities like Rijeka, Zagreb, or even Dubrovnik. Rijeka Airport is located on the island, with seasonal flights from various European cities, and there are also bus connections from major Croatian cities. Once on the island, local buses connect the main towns, but having a car is convenient for exploring. Taxis and rental cars are available. Ferries are not needed to reach Krk, but there are boat excursions to nearby islands.
When to go
The best time to visit Krk is from May to September, when the weather is warm and suitable for swimming and outdoor activities. July and August are the busiest and hottest months, with temperatures often reaching 30°C. June and September offer pleasant weather with fewer crowds. Winter is mild but many tourist facilities may be closed, and spring and autumn are ideal for hiking and cycling.
