Croatia Beach Holidays


europe
Croatia beach holidays offer a captivating blend of rich history, scenic landscapes, abundant sunshine, and the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic. From ancient cities to amazing views, Croatia beaches provide the perfect balance of culture, relaxation and natural beauty.

With historic towns just moment from the shoreline, Croatia beach holidays make it easy to combine sightseeing with time spent chilling out by the sea. The country’s extensive coastline and more than 700 islands means that there’s an incredible variety of Croatia beaches to discover: whether you’re seeking lively resorts, peaceful coves or unspoilt island retreats.

For those dreaming of an island escape, Croatia beach holidays open up a world of choice. Explore the lush national park landscapes of Mijet, relax on the famous Zlatni Rat (Bol Beach) on Brac, or soak up the atmosphere in stylish Hvar, where chic beach clubs and sea platforms invite you to swim in the dazzling turquoise waters. Families are equally well catered for, with Croatia beaches in areas such as Dubrovnik’s Babin Kuk and along the Istrian Peninsula offering calm waters, excellent facilities and a wide range of family-friendly beach resorts.

Trailfinders offers a wide range of Croatia beach holidays tailored to suit your style and budget. Our expert travel consultants can help you plan everything from island hopping adventures along the Dalmatian Coast to relaxing stays in private villas, ensuring your Croatia beach holiday is truly unforgettable.

Makarska is a great option on your Croatia beach holiday to break up the journey between island visits to Mjlet and Hvar. It’s also a relaxing base to experience white water rafting and other adventure activities on the Makarska River, located an hour’s drive from the town.

Croatia’s small beach town of Bol is charming and well appointed. Bars, restaurants, a supermarket and some boutiques, as well as a winery (we did a wine tasting that was brilliant!) means all your needs are covered.

Restaurants in Hvar Town get busy in high season so make reservations. For a local food experience, try Dva Ribara restaurant which serves delicious Hvar dishes and was packed with locals.
