The Dalmatian Coast dazzles with its unique climate—Mediterranean by the sea, shifting to alpine just inland. The stunning mountains roll down to meet the water, creating a picture-perfect backdrop. Charming towns and cities dot the coastline, each with its best face turned towards the shimmering sea. When you’re in Dubrovnik, imagine staying in a luxury hotel with a sea-view pool, all nestled within the ancient city walls. Split's Old Town is perfect for those who love culture, with boutique design hotels around every corner. If you're headed to Zadar or Trogir, there are plenty of family-friendly options that are not too far from the beach or Roman ruins. And for nature lovers, Northern Dalmatia is a dream, with eco-lodges and cosy guesthouses near the stunning Krka and Kornati National Parks.
If you're going to visit during the busy summer months, hotels on the Dalmatian Coast will get booked up well in advance. Get organised and plan ahead, or come in the quieter months when this beautiful region is far less crowded!
