Imagine this: while seaside villas on the Adriatic coast sell for several million euros, in Baranja, a region far from the sea, you can buy an entire hotel for just half a million euros! Yes, you read that right. While the rich splash millions on luxury seaside homes, in Baranja you can get a real business opportunity for much less — a hotel that can generate profit and become a hub for local tourism.
This price gap is staggering and reveals just how overpriced the coastal real estate market is, while the inland areas offer genuine opportunities for investors. Baranja, known for its natural beauty and wine routes, is becoming an increasingly attractive destination for those wanting to invest in tourism without paying astronomical coastal prices.
For half a million euros, you can buy a hotel ready to operate or renovate it to your liking. Many miss this chance because they focus only on the coast. But why spend millions on a villa you might use only a few weeks a year when for much less you can own a working hotel that brings income?
This situation raises many questions about property values in Croatia. Is it time to turn our attention inland and start appreciating what it offers? Or will we keep glorifying the coast and throwing money at often overpriced properties?
If you’ve ever dreamed of investing in tourism, maybe it’s time to look at Baranja. There, a hotel awaits you for half a million euros, while on the coast you won’t even get close to a villa for the same money. Maybe that’s the trick — investing where others don’t look.
What do you think? Is it smarter to invest on the coast or inland? Or is it all just a game for the rich? Drop a comment, maybe together we’ll find the real deal!
