Apartments on the Island of Rab
We are Karin and Micha, and we have been letting five holiday apartments here in Banjol for more than 35 years. To families, couples and groups of friends — many of whom have long since come back every summer. We live in the house ourselves: if something is missing or will not work, just knock.
The garden is open to every guest: barbecue, beer tap and a large olive tree that gives shade even at midday. In front of the house each apartment has its own parking space — with a CEE socket for charging electric cars and room enough for small boat trailers.

Guest reviews
What our guests say
“The apartment was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and left nothing to be desired, including the location. The warm and friendly manner of the hosts deserves special mention – you immediately feel welcome.
“A very beautiful house with top holiday apartments and really great hosts who are hard to match. The atmosphere is rather familial, as there are a great many regular guests here. The barbecue evenings under the olive tree, often with a large group, remain unforgettable.
“The apartment we booked is clean, comfortable, well equipped and very well located. A beautiful sandy beach, restaurant and shop are just a short walk away. The hosts are extremely kind and helpful.
“Very beautiful clean apartments, great location (very close to swimming, the harbour and the old town) and super nice hosts who anticipate your every wish ! Highly recommended!
“Amazing place and just the kindest hosts
“We (3 families) stayed in this house at the beginning of July- it was wonderful. […] The apartments are equipped with everything you need to feel comfortable, the kitchen is very well stocked.
“Great accommodation. Apartment spacious,tidy,lots of cooking equipment. Like home. Friendly owners. The sea is not far ,a 30-minute walk to the centre, slowly,at a holiday pace. Or you can take taxi boats from in front of the hotel,the beach
“The accommodation was top, the old town in the evening is highly recommended, the water was amazing and I had “my” delicious Ćevapčići on my plate almost every day 😋. And you Karin and Micha, are by far among the warmest hosts ever 🥰.
“It was our first time on Rab and we were very impressed. Karin and Misa are the perfect hosts, very friendly and helpful in every respect. The apartment was very clean and well furnished. The fish grilled by Misa was a delight and the draught beer very tasty. We can warmly recommend them!
“Thank you very much Karin and Micha ! It was wonderful at your place and you are great hosts !!! We would love to come back. We had a lovely holiday on Rab that went by far too quickly.
“It was a great week there.. wonderful hospitality and everything is within walking distance from there. We had a great apartment with a sea view.. highly recommended
“Our family has been visiting these apartments for many years for regular holidays. […] The apartments are lovingly and cosily furnished. The beds suit my taste perfectly with how comfortable they are. The location and view are a dream.
“Thank you for the wonderful holiday at your place! Great, clean apartments and nice hosts. We could not wish for anything more and will be back, that much is certain! Thank you very much!
“The apartment where my husband, our 2-year-old child and I spent 5 nights is very nice, tidy and spacious. We would especially like to highlight the hosts, who are exceptionally kind, lovely and always ready to help.
“We have been coming here since 2008 and it is a dream every time. Diving into paradise with super friendly hosts who have become friends.
“We have been going to beautiful Rab for many years and we do not travel 1000 km for nothing. Spending our holiday with Karin and Micha makes us feel happy months in advance. The hosts are warm, offer homely comfort during your stay with them and help with worries and troubles.
The island
What awaits you on Rab
Rab lies in the Kvarner Gulf, sheltered between the mainland and the neighbouring islands of Krk and Pag. 90 square kilometres, a good 8,000 inhabitants — large enough for variety, small enough to really get to know in a week.
The island is known for two things: the sandy beaches around Lopar in the north, where you wade far out into shallow water, and the old town of Rab with its four Romanesque bell towers in a row.
In between lies the green side of the island — pine woods, olive groves and over 100 kilometres of marked trails. If you would rather stay in the water: visibility of 20 metres is normal here, and for snorkelling all you need is a mask and a rock to jump off.
And in the evening, grilled fish in a konoba by the water with a glass of the island’s white wine. A holiday day on Rab needs no more than that.

Restaurants
Food on Rab is simple and good: the catch of the day off the grill, blitva alongside, olive oil from the island. If you have more time, order lamb under the bell — janjetina ispod peke has to be ordered a day ahead. The better addresses are often not in the old town at all, but in Banjol, Barbat and Supetarska Draga, where small family-run places cook with whatever the day brings.
We are happy to book your table for you.
Bars & Lounges
The evening starts on the old town waterfront: bars in the lanes, an aperitif on one of the roof terraces overlooking the bell towers, a few clubs for the small hours. From us it is barely twenty minutes on foot along the marina — or a few euros for the water taxi, which still runs late.
Shows & Entertainment
From May to September the Rab Music Evenings take place in the cathedral and in the Church of the Holy Cross: chamber music and choral concerts in rooms with extraordinary acoustics, usually free of charge. The high point of the summer is the Rabska Fjera at the end of July — three days of medieval market in the old town, with craftspeople in historical costume, music in the evening and the island’s crossbowmen competing against one another.
Outdoor & Adventure
Over 100 kilometres of marked trails cross the island — from the flat, shady coastal path to Suha Punta to the climb up the Kamenjak ridge, from where on a clear day you can see as far as the Velebit on the mainland. Add to that dive centres with courses from taster dives to certification, SUP and kayaks for hire right on the beach, tennis, (mini) golf and bike rental in the town and in Lopar.
Day trips
Best of all by water taxi: it takes you to bays you cannot reach by land — where you often have a whole beach to yourself. Further out lie the neighbouring islands of Krk and Pag, both easily done in a day, and if you set off early you can even make it to the Plitvice Lakes.
Garden, house & surroundings
In our garden
Barbecue, beer tap and the large olive tree: the garden is open to every guest — in the evening too, and for as long as you like.
