Why You Should Take a Flight to Novalja

Once a sleepy family resort, Novalja is fast earning a reputation as one of the top destinations in the Adriatic. Nicknamed the ‘Ibiza of Croatia’ it offers an ever-growing choice of clubs, bars and entertainment options. With crystal-clear waters and picturesque beaches just a stone’s throw from the action, it’s easy to see why Novalja is becoming such a popular destination.

When to Book Flights to Novalja

July and August are the busiest months in Novalja. Book flights to the resort during the summer months and you’ll find busy bars, packed clubs and crowded beaches.

If you prefer to travel at quieter - and cheaper - times of the year, look for airfares to Novalja in late May, June or September.

Winters in Croatia can be surprisingly cold, so unless you don’t mind a bit of rain or even snow interrupting your time on the beach, it’s probably best to travel at a warmer time of year.
