Njivice is a small resort village on the north-west coast of Krk, between Omišalj and Malinska. Holiday homes, campsites and hotels sit among pine woods along a calm stretch of coast.

Why visit

Njivice is quieter than Malinska and close to the Krk Bridge, which makes it an easy first stop on the island. Paths run along the shore through the pines, with plenty of spots to swim.

Omišalj’s old town and Malinska’s harbour are each a short drive away.

Where to stay

Hotels and campsites lie along the shore, with apartments in the village behind them. It suits families and anyone looking for a calm beach holiday.

Getting there and around

Njivice is about 15 minutes by car from the Krk Bridge. Rijeka Airport, on the island near Omišalj, is also close.

Parking

Parking is easier than in Malinska or Krk Town, though spaces near the beaches fill in high season.
