Croatia is one of the most-visited Mediterranean destinations. In the last decade, it’s become a hub for travelers in search of culture, coastal bliss, and stunning cities. Along with luxury yachting, Croatia is known for its bustling nightlife, which is suitable for visitors of all ages.
However, not many think about its hidden getaways. As a coastal nation, Croatia includes dozens of tiny and resplendent islands that are perfect for exploring and relaxing in equal measure. While some travelers might not want to miss out on the excitement of a city, it’s easier than ever to bring entertainment on the go.
For example, blockbuster
Hollywood hits are available through apps like AMC Theatres. Given lightning-quick connections and smart TVs, doing a remote movie night is easy. The same goes for a casino night. The best and latest casino free bets and bonuses are listed on websites such as OddsChecker, which simplifies finding a platform to play blackjack or slots on. These comparison websites gather all the offers and games made available by the largest online
casinos in the US and worldwide.
Just add a great soundtrack, throw on a nice dress, and any hotel room becomes a private casino party. Even luxury shopping can be done remotely. Louis Vuitton and Chanel, to name but a few, offer stellar mobile apps for virtual shopping. Companies like Vestiaire also let fashionistas try out luxury brands remotely with unique augmented technology.
In other words, you won’t be missing out by skipping a city tour. Instead, consider heading to one of these unforgettable hideaways on the Croatian coast.
Korčula
Nestled in the Adriatic Sea with mountain views of the Dalmatian mainland, Korčula
is one of the country’s most exclusive destinations. Though home to a large population compared to other
islands, the locale isn’t frequented by tourists except for those on a day trip from Dubrovnik. If you’re looking for luxury boating or a less touristy island feel, head here. Sometimes, boat safety and comfort gives you the best luxury. Considering marine refrigeration system may help you gain that level of comfort and security.
Brela
Thinking of heading to Makarska? Extend your trip and make a beeline for Brela instead. Its beaches are award-winning, while its marina is home to some of the Mediterranean’s clearest waters. Aside from seaside relaxation, visitors can also book a tour of the village center or venture outside of town for a tour of a winery.
Silba
Those who truly want to leave behind their daily life won’t find a more remote or peaceful spot than
Silba. The island has no hotels or cars—and, as of recently, no bikes, either. The idea is to maintain the slow pace of life in the tiny village, while also maintaining the unspoiled beaches. Tourists are welcome—but they’re advised to tread lightly and enjoy the quiet.
Susak
Tourists who want to dive into the unknown will find plenty of exploration opportunities in Susak. The
island itself is small, but its sandy beaches are unforgettable. In fact, its Spiaza beach is regularly voted one of the best in the country. The island is designed for visitors to adventure around, with plenty of crisscrossing paths that make touring the island a breeze.
Omis
Located on the Dalmatian coast, Omis offers stunning views and plenty of adventures for visitors, including eating tours. The city sits nestled amid the towering mountains, which makes it a great place to explore via rental car. Local tours are also available, which cover the rugged landscape and its history.
Vis
Back in 2016, Vis’s beach of Stiniva was awarded the Top Beach in Europe—beating out 300 other competitors by the European Best Destinations publication. Since then, it’s become a major hotspot. Still, it’s considered by many to be a hidden gem. The island is accessible by ferry from Split, but locations like Hvar, a tiny island, feel like a world unto themselves.
Murter
Want to get off the beaten path without actually leaving city life behind? Murter is one of the biggest vacation beach spots in the country, which plays home to the Garden Festival each summer. Still, just because parties are on the menu, doesn’t mean that Murter is not still considered an easy-going town—and there’s plenty there in terms of nature, from olive groves to its hidden coves.
