Discover Croatia through the eyes of its hosts

Home » Discover Croatia through the eyes of its hosts

Every journey begins with a dream about a place we wish to explore. But the true adventure starts only when we find accommodation that allows us to feel the spirit of that place – and to become part of it.

Faced with countless options, it is often difficult to choose the one that offers something more than a comfortable bed and a beautiful view. If you want to step into the everyday life of the local community and experience Croatia with your heart, look for the Local Host label – it’s your guide to authenticity. Local Host accommodations are not just addresses on a map. They are homes where guests become friends, and hosts become storytellers and keepers of the folktales that shape identity, tradition, and customs. Here you will experience the warmth of a home with a personal touch, and feel that sincere sense of welcome that stays with you long after you leave.

Hosts with the Local Host label live in harmony with nature and the values of their region.

They use local resources, seasonal ingredients, and natural materials, nurture a sustainable lifestyle, and promote respect for the environment and the community. Every detail – from the food and décor to the activities offered – is shaped by the spirit of the region. Educated and dedicated, these hosts proudly share what they value most – the authentic experience of life in Croatia.

That is why the Local Host label is not just a mark of quality, but a promise that during your stay you will feel a true connection with the place, its people, and the stories that make it unique.

Looking for accommodation that will turn your holiday into an unforgettable journey? Find your Local Host and let Croatia welcome you with an open heart.
