Croatia is one of Europe's most attractive destinations for mobile homes, with its spectacular Adriatic coastline, over 1,200 islands, and a rapidly growing tourism sector. Green Village imports and delivers mobile homes across Croatia — from Istria and Kvarner to Dalmatia and the interior. The country has invested heavily in modernising its campsites (many rated 4-5 stars), creating growing demand for quality mobile homes. Prices start from 17 000 euros for used units. Transport is organised by Mobile Home Logistic, Green Village's logistics division, and is included in the delivered price. With 25% VAT and no intra-EU customs duties, Croatia offers a solid market for tourism investment with mobile homes. Green Village offers financing up to 120 months and a complete delivery and installation service.
Regulations
In Croatia, mobile homes are regulated by the Construction Act (Zakon o gradnji) and Tourism Act. In campsites licensed by the Ministry of Tourism, mobile homes are classified as camping equipment and do not require a building permit. On private land, urban planning authorisation from the local administration is required. Croatia has specific coastal zone regulations (ZOP), limiting construction within the first 100 metres of the shoreline. VAT is 25%, among the highest in the EU. Tourist accommodation registration is mandatory via the eVisitor system. Croatia joined the Schengen Area and adopted the euro in 2023, simplifying transactions.
Transport
Transport of mobile homes to Croatia is organised by Mobile Home Logistic, Green Village's logistics division, to the installation site — from Istria and Kvarner to Dalmatia and the interior. Green Village coordinates transport, delivery and installation and, for units coming from the UK, customs clearance too; there are no customs duties between EU countries. Transport is insured at 100% of the unit's value, from collection to installation on site. We also deliver to the Croatian islands. Transport is included in the delivered price shown on each product page; the cost of an island delivery is confirmed in the written quote.
Pricing
Mobile home prices in Croatia range from 17 000 euros for used units to 85,000 euros for premium lodges. Transport from Western Europe is included in the delivered price shown for the destination. VAT at 25% applies on the total value. The Croatian tourism market is very strong: campsites in Istria and Dalmatia report occupancy rates of 70-85% in peak season (June-September). Average return on a mobile home in a premium campsite is 20-35% per year.
Installation
Installation in Croatia is facilitated by the Mediterranean climate on the coast and continental climate inland. Coastal soil is generally rocky (limestone), requiring adapted footings. In campsites, pitches come with water, electricity, and sewage connections included. Croatia uses 230V/50Hz electricity (EU standard). On private rural land, a water borehole and septic tank may be necessary.
