Over the last few centuries it was a small village on Krk, whose inhabitants were mainly fishermen, olive grove workers or cattle-breeders or they worked in the forests. The houses situated close to the seashore, the small boats and the fishermen’s nets as well as the cases full of fish, have for centuries been a recognizable photograph of Njivice.
The Luka hotel (today known as the Jadran) and villa Dinka, were built in 1930 and are considered the start of tourism in Njivice.
