Split and Dalmatian Coast

Split and Dalmatian Coast holidays

Magical national parks, heaps of history, incredible cuisine and vibrant seafront resorts make Split and its surroundings the treasure of the Dalmatian Coast. Its terracotta-topped namesake city is a belter, where you can mix serious history hunting with bar hopping right in the heart of Croatia. Further down the coast, sleepy towns wow with their pebbly shores and crystal-clear waters. Did we mention the incredible islands? Hvar's a glitzy spot, with marble streets, chic bars and trendy beach clubs. Meanwhile, picturesque Brač is a cyclist’s fave that also touts one of the country's best beaches, epic Zlatni Rat.

A spectacular setting

Holidays to the Dalmatian Coast offer up unique, dramatic scenery. Rocky mountains and pine-clad hills tumble down towards crystal-clear waters around the Split Area. The Krka River runs through the vibrant lime greens and turquoises of the National Park. You might even spot brown trout, ospreys and golden eagles.

Brilliant beaches

Some of the best beaches in Croatia can be found along the region’s shores, Zlatni Rat included. The soft white shingle down the Makarska Riviera is a particularly sought-after stretch, and there are plenty of tucked-away coves waiting to be uncovered on the nearby islands. Make some time to totally chill out.

A Split city

Split itself gives you the perfect balance of dazzling historic treasures and colourful cosmopolitan life. It’s Croatia’s second-largest city after Zagreb and simply teeming with authentic waterfront restaurants, ancient alleyways, bustling markets and old sights. There’s both a small-town feel and echoes of a bigger modern hub which makes it fab for families too, and it's easy to reach by bus.
