Luxury Croatia tours across the Adriatic Coast, islands and historic cities
Sitting at the crossroads of central and southern Europe, Croatia is a land of distinctive red-roofed houses, medieval walled towns and vibrant ports that look out onto the crystalline turquoise waters of the Adriatic. It might still be relatively undiscovered, but we think you’ll soon agree that Croatia is one of the Mediterranean’s most captivating countries.
Croatia’s national parks, medieval cities, and crystal clear water as far as the eye can see makes Croatia the ideal setting for an adventure. On your luxury Croatia tour you can explore the coast from the enchanting capital of Dubrovnik to the vibrant city of Zadar, via the impossibly pretty islands of the Adriatic. You might choose to go on a private sea kayaking tour of the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula, go on a bike tour of Cape Kamenjak or spend time hiking through the stunning landscapes of North Dalmatia, or simply relax and enjoy your beautiful surroundings.
We’ll help you to explore this welcoming and varied country, assisted by our enthusiastic local guides. Get in touch to start planning your private Croatia tour.

Luxury accommodation in Croatia
There are many incredible places to stay in Croatia. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:
Where to go
Dubrovnik
Glimmering on the Adriatic coast, enchanting Dubrovnik is Croatia’s most up-market destination. The city delights with its Mediterranean-style culture and the marbled streets of its UNESCO World Heritage old town.
Hvar
Hvar is Croatia‘s sunniest island and one of Europe’s most sunlit spots. Rivalling even France’s famed Saint-Tropez in terms of glamour, it’s become Croatia’s most popular destination and attracts luxury yachts, sun-seeking adventurers, and visitors of all kinds.
Istria
The picturesque towns of Rovinj and Opatija offer you a coastal escape surrounded by historic charm.
Korcula
Korčula has long been known for her dense and lush pine-woods and is one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic sea. Lying just off the Dalmatian coast stretching parallel with the nearby mainland, the island is also one of Croatia‘s most populous, its woodlands and vineyards bordered by sleepy hamlets and dreamlike fishing villages.
Split
Split is a vibrant living city, dramatically located between pine-strewn mountains and the turquoise sea.
Zadar
Intriguingly unique, Zadar is a northern coastal hub with a very particular character. Although it’s definitely less busy than the tourist centres further south, it is one of Croatia‘s larger metropoles and a living, vibrant city.
Zagreb
A city of grand Austro-Hungarian architecture and home to a multitude of museums and the majority of the country’s residents, inland Zagreb is Croatia‘s cultural hub.

When to visit Croatia
With its medieval towns, red-roofed houses and busy ports, Croatia is stunning year round. To ensure a truly memorable trip, the best time to visit Croatia is either side of the hottest part of summer – from May to June and then September to October. The best time for swimming and island-hopping is in June and September, on either side of the busy July and August period. To make the most of exploring the Plitvice Lakes, visit in May or October when the waterfalls are spectacular, but the trails are less crowded. And for one of the best Christmas market experiences in Europe, visit Zagreb in December.
