Long, hot, dreamy days spent lazing on golden sands along the Adriatic – the allure of a luxury Croatia holiday is hard to resist.

A landscape that has remained much unchanged for centuries - life along the sun-blushed coast of Croatia is deliciously laid back. Old Town Dubrovnik, protected by its ancient limestone walls, is at once both romantic and glamourous. Steep cobbled alleyways weave between honey-coloured Baroque churches and monasteries. In the evening, the marble squares fizz with chatter and clinking glasses as diners sip on fine wines and relish in sharing platters of bread, olives and cured meats.

Whole holidays can be easily spent this way, but should you crave a change of scenery, you needn’t venture far. With the stunning Plitvice Lakes and Krka National Park only a short day-trip away, you can easily explore fjord-like landscapes before taking a dip beneath the waterfalls.
