So, you’ve finished the first task when it comes to planning a holiday – narrowing it down to a country – and you’ve chosen Croatia! Now onto the next step, finding the perfect resort for you. Are you looking to laze on the beach? Fancy a real-life history lesson? Hikes near jaw-dropping waterfalls? To get to know the resorts and pick your winner, we’re introducing you to the line-up of the best Split has to offer. Ta-dah!

For the perfect location… Makarska

Can’t decide between a city break, countryside escape or beachy getaway? Well, now you don’t have to, as they come together in Makarska. Shadowed by mighty mountains, the historic town is filled with attractions, restaurants and bars. And just a step away from the main promenade, golden sands are washed by the turquoise Adriatic waters.

For peace and quiet… Brac Island

Made up of teeny fishing villages and sandy shores, this island is all about those zen vibes. Spread out on the white sands of Zlatni Rat that have sun and solitude written all over them, and enjoy the soothing sounds of the waves. In the evening, get ready to have your senses stirred with some fresh fish flavours and rich wines.

For strolls among walls… Split Old Town

Looking to be right in the middle of the action? Split Town is your answer! Past and present collide here, as the historic features of Split are just minutes away from the full-of-life marina promenade. Wander the cobbled streets and prepare to be whisked away by the best this history-stuffed town has to offer.

For footprint-free beaches… Brela

Just a hop and skip away from Split, Brela is the hidden gem of the Dalmatian Coast. The beaches here make postcards jealous – think powdery white sand, crystal-clear waters and pine trees for natural shade. It's the kind of place where you build sandcastles, drink in the views and laze away the day.

For a historic hotspot… Stari Grad

Translating to ‘Old Town’, the name already hints at what you can expect from this fairytale-like town. It'll be like stepping into a living history book – the terracotta-topped town is one of the oldest in Europe! Magical museums and castles will greet you as you follow the winding streets. Surrounded by vineyards, lavender fields and UNESCO-stamped historic plains, this quaint town is the epitome of local life in Croatia.

For an active getaway… Zupa

Looking to clear your mind and soul? Zupa is an ideal destination for your next escape. Rugged mountains sprinkled with pine trees create the backdrop for this dinky town. Tranquillity is Zupa’s middle name – you’ll be surrounded by more trees than people here. If you’re into hiking and breathtaking views, (and let’s be honest, who’s not a fan of at least the latter?) the valley offers gorgeous trails for both seasoned hikers and casual walks!

For lively evenings on the marina… Hvar Island

Hvar Island isn't just famous for its medieval relics, it's a party hub too. Hvar Town is like Ibiza's older cousin – locals and visitors unite here to dance the night away once the sun slips behind the horizon. Picture lively bars, pumping music and views over the harbour while sipping cocktails. Stay nearby and you're in for epic nights under the stars.

For authentic Croatia… Omis

A mountain range, separated by a stunning river, snuggles this dinky town, so the views here speak for themselves. Add a taste of local culture into the mix and you’ve got a slice of authentic Croatia in front of you. Wander through time-honoured streets, chat with locals at cosy cafés and savour traditional Dalmatian cuisine. Bliss!

For all the holiday essentials… Vodice

Like to stick to what you know? Vodice Town is for you! This quintessential holiday resort has everything you need for a refreshing getaway. A couple of our favourite features on the itinerary – a knockout selection of bars and restaurants, oceans of water sports and a yacht-lined marina. Vodice is located perfectly to take day trips too, if you can peel yourself away from the Blue Flag beaches.

For a fusion of nature and culture… Sibenik

Wander through the narrow, medieval streets and you’ll stumble upon UNESCO-stamped cathedrals, whitewashed fortresses and countless museums. Sibenik's Old Town is a treasure trove of history and culture. But just step away from the terracotta-topped city centre, and you’ll be wrapped in Mother Nature’s clasp. In the nearby Krka National Park peaceful lakes set the scene, while water soothingly cascades down the gorgeously green hills.
