Luxury destinations
Seven places on the Croatian and Montenegrin Adriatic that pass every one of our tests, from Istria's hill towns to the Bay of Kotor.
The coast
North to south, from Istria to Boka Bay
Scroll to follow the gold line down the coast. Each stop opens its destination page.
Istria
Rovinj's harbour, hill towns above the vineyards, and some of the best food and wine in Croatia.
Kvarner
A historic Habsburg-era riviera at Opatija and the pine-scented islands of Lošinj, quieter than the south.
Zadar and the Kornati
A Roman old town on a peninsula, and beyond it one of the Adriatic's most dramatic archipelagos.
Split and the islands
A city built into a Roman palace, and the islands of Brač, Šolta and Vis within an easy boat ride.
Hvar
A harbour town beneath a hilltop fortress, lavender fields inland, and the Pakleni islands offshore.
Dubrovnik
The walled city, the quieter harbour of Cavtat, and oysters and wine on the Pelješac peninsula.
Boka Bay
A fjord-like bay of baroque towns and mountains, with superyacht marinas and premium resorts. Arranged through a verified partner.
How we chose them
Five tests every destination passes
Drawn from our market research. Accommodation quality is assessed alongside access, privacy, local experiences and practical delivery.
Recognised luxury
Hotels, villas and marinas assessed for service, privacy, setting and suitability. Quality is one of five considerations when we recommend a destination.
Experiences worth the journey
Private, hosted experiences we can actually arrange there: a winemaker's table, a chef at the villa, a day on the water.
Access that works
An airport, a sensible private transfer or a boat connection, so the journey stays part of the pleasure.
More than one season
Reasons to go beyond July and August, when old towns are calmer and hosts have time.
Something we can deliver
We arrange it directly, or through a verified partner we name. We only publish a destination we know well.
On request
Beyond the seven
We also arrange days and short stays in places that are not destinations in their own right for luxury travel, or that we deliver through partners: Krka and Plitvice national parks, Šibenik, Mljet, and Venice, Trieste and Ljubljana to the north.
Ask, and we tell you honestly whether it suits your trip.
