Villas in Crikvenica/Jadranovo
Jadranovo suits families who want a small Kvarner village with its own cove, about 8 km from Crikvenica and 26 km from Rijeka. Homes are mostly one-bedroom apartments and small houses for about four. The trade-off is size: only around 1,000 people live here, so for a larger town you go to Crikvenica.

About Crikvenica/Jadranovo
Jadranovo is a village of 1,077 residents (2021) on a small peninsula that splits it into two parts around the Bay of Lokvišće. Tourism is the biggest part of its economy, mostly private rooms and apartments, with room for up to about 3,000 guests. Our homes sit in one tight cluster, mostly small houses and apartments with air conditioning, and over half have a garden. A good number have a pool. The Havišće beach is described as having clean sea, calm in the morning and lively at sunset. Crikvenica's Omorika beach, a pebble family beach under pine trees, is in Crikvenica, about 8 km away. Two summer events stand out: a traditional fishermen's festival and the feast of St James on 25 July, with live music.
