Generation Z Has Chosen Croatia as the Top Summer Destination for 2025!

We have noticed something exciting happening: a wave of young, vibrant, adventure-hungry travelers booking with us to explore Croatia. And honestly, we are not surprised. With its sparkling coastline, stunning islands, unforgettable nightlife, and those picture-perfect towns – Croatia is having a moment. Especially online!

The buzz is real: Generation Z has officially crowned Croatia the ultimate summer destination for 2025, and it’s all over your feed.

Social media platforms, especially TikTok and Instagram, are exploding with content from young travelers documenting their Croatian adventures. Influencers and everyday travelers alike are showing off what we have known all along: Croatia is a Mediterranean dream.

One major voice behind the movement? Alix Earle, one of the most influential Gen Z TikTokers in the U.S., who dubbed Croatia the perfect spot for a “hot girl summer”. Her videos featuring the Adriatic coast, chic beach clubs, and island hopping have racked up millions of views and inspired a whole new generation of travelers.

And there’s more. If you’ve scrolled through TikTok recently, you may have stumbled upon the trending caption: Croatia Is Calling. This viral trend features groups of young travelers sharing their journeys from the airport to the Croatian coast, often set to upbeat summer soundtracks. Their content highlights all the things Gen Z loves: authentic local experiences, breathtaking views, fun nightlife, and meaningful connection with locals.

It’s not just the famous spots like Dubrovnik and Hvar that are winning hearts. Gen Z is seeking out both iconic destinations and hidden gems, think Vis, Zadar, Korčula, Ston, Mljet, and secret beaches only locals know. Lucky for you, that’s exactly where we go. At Perfecta Travel, we take you to the places that will leave your group breathless (and your followers asking where you are).

And there’s something else worth mentioning, something we’ve seen repeatedly on social media: young women feel safe in Croatia. Whether wandering the narrow streets of Split at night or walking home from a night out in Dubrovnik, female travelers are sharing how comfortable they feel here. That’s a big deal and it’s one more reason Croatia has become the go-to choice for summer travel.

As if all that weren’t enough, even more global names are showing up this summer. IShowSpeed, one of the world’s most famous content creators with over 40 million followers across platforms, visited Croatia recently and shared his enthusiastic experience with his massive fanbase. That’s not just exposure, that’s a cultural moment.
