Today a well-known tourist resort, by the middle of the 19th century, Rabac was just a small fishermen village with hardly ten houses. 'Quarnaro', the first hotel in Rabac, was opened in 1889.

At that time Rabac witnessed the building of the first villas. The most well-known was the villa belonging to the Prohaska family, Czechs by origin. Villa was destroyed during the second world war.
