There’s so much to explore in Croatia. One holiday really isn’t enough, but thankfully there are plenty of luxury villas and hotels to enjoy.
If pretty port towns and azure waters lapping beaches are what you’re after, the Dalmatian coast will have lots to offer you. Those seeking a little waterside nightlife and some daytime culture in the Old Town might enjoy the charming city of Split.
For an island break, Hvar has plenty to tempt tourists from the glamourous cafes and superyachts of Hvar town to the sleepy villages dotted around the island. Brac Island has a quiet charm and unspoiled beaches that make it perfect for a relaxing holiday.
Then there’s Istria, a tale of two peninsulas, really, with its secret coves and coastal villages (known as Blue Istria) and its hilltop towns and wineries occupying the hills inland (Green Istria). Culture vultures will be in their element wandering the scenic city walls of Dubrovnik and taking in the winding limestone streets and colourful squares.
It’s so easy to get about here, you can do a bit of everything, soaking up the culture, history and food of Croatia (as well as a goodly amount of wine!) but still leaving plenty of time to enjoy your luxury villa, in the famed Croatian sun. Whether you are on a family holiday, a romantic escape or a get-together with friends, Croatian villa holidays are trips to paradise.
The combination of fascinating history, both ancient and modern, and natural beauty, from crystal clear waters lapping pebbled beaches to amazing mountains and UNESCO-listed national parks.
If you are a fan of beautiful villas, Croatia has some of the finest in the world, each with a unique flair. Whether inland or on the coast, you’re sure to have jaw-dropping views from private pools. The wow factor of a luxury villa rental in Croatia is sure to impress your whole group. Especially those yet to explore this often-overlooked Mediterranean paradise.
Peak season is July and August, and that’s when Croatia is buzzing with life. It can be fairly hot at that time though, with temperatures well into the 30s. If you’re not a fan of the heat, the ‘shoulder seasons’ (May to June and September to October) are great times to go, when things are a little quieter and the weather a little more temperate. You should find a greater choice of villas to rent then too, as peak months sell out fast in Croatia. It’s always a little cooler in the north than on the Adriatic coast, too.
You’ll find fabulous seafood dishes all over Croatia as well as the chance to indulge in some of the best olive oil, wine and fresh truffles in the world. If you want to eat in a truly local way Pašticada (marinated beef and gnocchi) and Tartufi (creamy truffle pasta) are always a good bet.
If you’re staying at a villa in Dubrovnik, it’s worth making time for a meal at 360°, a Michelin-starred restaurant, built into the historic town walls and with views out over the old port.
Serious food fans should not miss out on an evening at Pelegrini in Sibenik, which has a renowned tasting menu featuring local ingredients from oysters and sea snails to veal and lets you select the exact dishes you want to try. For something smaller but no less tasty, Torito Food Bar in Split offers global tapas and great cocktails at the heart of the Diocletian’s Palace.
You’ll find excellent independent restaurants with sea views and the freshest of fish dotted all over the Croatian coast. Afar in the tiny harbour town of Fosa Zadar is a great example: stunning waterfront views, plenty of historic atmosphere and a delicious ever-changing menu based on that morning’s catch.
