The charming town of Rabac nestles in the picturesque Kvarner Bay, surrounded by the Učka mountain range and the sparkling Adriatic Sea. Like the rest of Istria, Rabac is ensconced within fragrant pine forests, providing welcome shade from the sun's rays. This setting showcases stunning landscapes, with the juxtaposition of mountains and sea, as well as rocky shores harboring hidden caves. The beauty is further accentuated by lush gardens and terraced streets cascading down the mountainsides.
Rabac boasts small yet cozy pebble beaches with well-developed amenities, offering both comfort and seclusion. These beaches have been honored with the prestigious Blue Flag of the European Union.
Rabac's rise as a prosperous resort owes much to the English writer Richard Burton, who explored these lands in the 19th century. In his novel "The Istrian Coast," he eloquently expressed his admiration for Rabac, which, at that time, was a humble fishing village. Burton's words laid the foundation for Rabac's future renown as a vacation destination. The town's modern development took shape between World War I and World War II when it evolved into a holiday village for workers, eventually growing into the vibrant town it is today, complete with excellent hotels.
