Luxury Villas in Croatia

Croatia boasts stunning beaches, lush national parks, well-preserved medieval cities, and over 1000 islands, each with unique draws.

Split is the country’s second-largest city and is known for its impressive architecture, including the stunning Diocletian’s Palace – its UNESCO World Heritage-protected Old Town – and its fresh seafood restaurants along the Riva promenade. Dramatic mountains form the city’s backdrop, whilst azure seas are perfect for bathing in or enjoying a host of water sports.

Further down the Dalmatian Coast, Dubrovnik is home to another UNESCO-protected Old Town. Medieval stone walls surround the Old Town, offering brilliant views for tourists who walk along the top. The city also features 14th-century monasteries and churches, cobbled streets and alleyways, quaint cafes in the large square and trendy bars built into the coastal rock faces, a picturesque old port, and a mix of sand and pebble beaches.

There are plenty of islands a short boat trip away from both cities, many of which are home to beautiful private villas for rent.

Hailed as the sunniest of Croatian islands, Hvar is also known for glitz and glamour, as well as a vibrant nightlife scene. There area many fine dining restaurants, upmarket bars, lively clubs, and a marina full of super-yachts, beautifully contrasted by the island’s well-preserved medieval ruins.

Brač is the third-largest Croatian island, known for its famous horn-shaped Zlatni Rat Beach, lush pine groves, pretty harbour towns, and excellent hiking and water sports sites.

Korčula is known for its beautiful beaches, historic, walled Old Town, and award-winning wineries. This lush, green island is ideal for hiking, biking, and sailing.

Lauded as Croatia’s greenest island, Mljet is known for its stunning natural beauty, including a vast national park with two saltwater lakes. It is the perfect destination for those seeking a more secluded luxury villa holiday.

Lopud is a car-free island with a pretty settlement of stone houses. Perfect for outdoor lovers, it has plenty of beautiful beaches, hiking locations, and historic gardens to explore.

Further north on the mainland, Croatia’s Istrian peninsular is renowned for its contrast of pretty hilltop towns and seaside villages, hidden coves with pebble beaches and rolling green hills, and its vibrant culture and gastronomy scenes.

Croatia is also known for its incredible waterfalls. Just outside Split is the beautiful Krka National Park, a lush forest with breathtaking waterfalls falling into pools where visitors can swim.
