Which area of Novalja is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For travellers looking for cheap hotels in Novalja, areas slightly outside the main party zones, such as the town centre or the quieter parts of Gajac, offer the best value. These locations provide easier access to amenities and transport links without the premium prices of accommodations right on Zrće Beach.

Solo travellers often find the Novalja town centre appealing for its concentration of guesthouses and smaller hotels, many of which are independently run and offer competitive rates. You'll be within walking distance of local restaurants, supermarkets, and the main bus station, which connects to Zrće Beach and other parts of the island. Exploring the local market or enjoying a relaxed evening by the harbour is also easily accessible from here.

Couples might prefer Gajac, a village just a short bus ride from Novalja and Zrće Beach. While it still has a lively option, especially during peak season, it generally offers a more relaxed vibe and often more affordable apartment rentals or smaller hotel options compared to being directly in Novalja. It's a good base for those who want to experience the nightlife but also appreciate a quieter retreat.
When is the most affordable time to visit Novalja?
Visiting Novalja during the shoulder seasons—late May to early June or September—is generally the most affordable time, allowing you to enjoy pleasant weather and fewer crowds without the peak season price tags.

During these months, accommodation prices, ranging from apartments to guesthouses, are lower than in July and August. You'll also find better deals on local transport and activities, as businesses are keen to attract visitors outside the busiest period. For solo travellers, this means more relaxed experiences at popular spots and easier access to local tours and excursions without the need for extensive advance booking.

The shoulder seasons also offer a calmer atmosphere, great for exploring Novalja's beautiful beaches and the charming Old Town at a leisurely pace. You can enjoy the local cuisine in traditional konobas without the usual queues and often at slightly reduced prices.
What are the best cheap hotels in Novalja with a pool?
The best cheap hotel in Novalja with a pool is Hostel Vagabundo.

Hostel Vagabundo, with an 8.6 rating, offers a refreshing seasonal outdoor pool, great for relaxing after a day exploring. Guests also benefit from free WiFi and complimentary self-parking, adding to the value. Its location near the beach, with direct access, is ideal for those who love the sea.

Is Novalja a budget-friendly destination?
While Novalja is generally considered a popular party destination, which can often lead to higher prices, travellers can certainly experience its vibrant setting and stunning surroundings on a budget with some savvy planning.

For solo travellers and couples looking to save on accommodation, consider staying in private apartments or guesthouses a little further from the main Zrće Beach area, perhaps in the quieter parts of Novalja town or nearby villages. These options often provide better value than hotels, especially when booked in advance. Getting around is straightforward; local buses connect Novalja town with Zrće Beach, and walking or cycling are great for exploring the immediate vicinity.

Dining can be very affordable if you opt for local eateries and bakeries. Seek out "konobas" for traditional Croatian dishes at reasonable prices, or grab a quick and inexpensive bite at a local "pekara" (bakery) for pastries and sandwiches. Many of Novalja's best experiences are free, such as relaxing on the beautiful beaches like Straško or exploring the charming old town of Novalja. Watching the sunset over the Adriatic from a scenic spot also costs nothing and offers an unforgettable memory.

For a quieter experience, try Lokunje Beach, conveniently located close to the town centre and superb for a refreshing swim.

Exploring Novalja's historical side provides another free and enriching experience. Wander through the town centre, taking in the charming architecture and soaking up the local vibe. Don't miss the Roman aqueduct, an ancient engineering marvel that's openly accessible and offers a glimpse into Novalja's past.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Novalja as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
