Coastal Dalmatia
For a stunning beach holiday destination, try the gorgeous Dalmatian Coast. Stretching all the way from Rab to Kotor and including almost 80 islands, Dalmatia is the perfect place for a tranquil holiday with some excellent resorts on offer, both for families and adults only.
Istria
Located in the north of the country, Istria is a peninsula which juts out of the very top coastline and borders Italy. Your holiday to Istria starts by flying into either Pula, or Trieste, just the other side of the Italian border. From here, popular holiday resorts and towns in the Istrian Riviera include Rovinj, Lovran and Umag.
The Islands
All along the coast are beautiful islands with soft sandy beaches, quiet spa resorts and turquoise water. If it's a truly tranquil escape away from the daily grind, islands like Brac, Hvar and Korcula provide peaceful accommodation options you might just be looking for.
Cities
Not only can you enjoy city breaks in Croatia, you can combine the city and the beach very easily. While Zagreb in the north is its capital, Split and Dubrovnik are popular for holidays too, both of which have direct flights from the UK, and a range of accommodation options to suit all budgets, from cheap, self catering apartments to luxury spa hotels.
