Where to stay in Croatia

There are lots of amazing places to stay in Croatia, so to help you decide on a specific area, I thought I’d give you some extra information about my favorite places in Croatia. 

  • Split - Split is a popular place with tourists in Croatia, and it’s filled with everything you need for a holiday. A fabulous old town area with UNESCO heritage features, beautiful viewpoints, lots of fantastic beaches with bars and beautiful views and all for a great price too. Check out more things to do in Split here.
  • Kastel - Kastel refers to the area on the Dalmiantan coast which comprises seven towns, leading to Trogir, the beautiful UNESCO heritage sight town. All these mini towns are set along the water, so you can imagine the beautiful views on offer. We stayed in Kastel Kalmelovec for 3 weeks and it was honestly beautiful! 
  • Brac Island - You can base your on Hvar, or Brac Island for your stay in Croatia and you’ll be greeted to some of the most beautiful beaches ever. I’m talking crystal clear water that’s perfect for swimming in. Brac also has a fabulous winery, the closest one to water in the entire world, and is packed with amazing viewpoints, hikes and things to do. 
  • Zadar - Another fabulous seaside area of Croatia that’s famous for its beautiful blue waters, epic sea views and delicious seafood. A popular place for families and couples, you really can’t go wrong with Zadar! 
  • Istra - This is a fantastic peninsula in Croatia that offers stunning waters, great food, and unique sights. One of my favorite spots here in Pula, which has its version of the Colosseum in Rome, is pretty cool! All the towns and areas along this strip are extremely beautiful and a great place to spend your Croatian holiday. 
  • Dubrovnik - Thanks to GOT, Dubrovnik is now super famous, (it’s Kings Landing), but despite this, Dubrovnik is truly one of the most beautiful towns/cities I’ve ever been to. It’s bursting with amazing history, it’s got epic sea views, beautiful beaches and the cobblestone streets of the old town are just wonderful. I always recommend staying a little bit outside of Dubrovnik (as two of the properties above are), so that you can enjoy the sea views and Dubrovnik from a distance too.  Fantastic place to stay in Croatia! 

There are of course lots of other amazing places to visit and stay in Croatia, and many of them are listed above. 

You may find you’ll need to return to visit all the amazing sights again!
