Rab Island Hotels near Kvarner, Croatia

Rab’s capital, Rab Town, is a huddle of medieval stone buildings occupying a slender, fortified peninsular lined with four elegant Romanesque bell towers. The old town hosts rustic taverns and boutiques, with a palm-lined seafront promenade giving onto a marina. Rab was one of Europe’s first nudist resorts: King Edward VIII apparently bathed naked here in 1936. Some of Croatia’s best sand beaches lie on Lopar Peninsular, on Rab’s northern tip.
