Last Minute Holidays to Croatia

The resorts below attract the largest share of our last minute demand, each offering a different pace and setting along the coast.

• Dubrovnik: Dubrovnik is the obvious choice for travellers who want a walled medieval city on the water. Its old town is reached by a short transfer from the airport, and the city walls offer a circuit of roughly 2 km with views over the rooftops and the Adriatic. The trade-off is that summer days in the old town are busy and hot, so we often suggest early starts or stays that allow evening walks once the day visitors have left. For culture and scenery, it remains one of the strongest bases on the coast. It is exactly the brief our Dubrovnik holidays deals are built around.
• Split: Split is a working city built around the palace of the Roman emperor Diocletian, and it offers a lively base with a far more everyday feel than many coastal resorts. The palace complex is walkable from most accommodation, and the ferry terminal makes it a practical hub for island day trips. Split suits guests who want restaurants, shops and nightlife on their doorstep rather than a self-contained beach resort. Our packages here are often chosen by travellers who plan to combine the city with several island excursions. Croatia holidays built around Split work well for active travellers.
• Hvar Town: Hvar Town is a harbour resort on an island known for its sunshine and lavender fields, reached by ferry from the mainland port nearby. Its waterfront is lined with bars and restaurants, and the fortress above the harbour gives sunset views that many visitors rank among the highlights of their trip. Hvar works best for guests who accept that ferry timetables shape the day and who want a lively evening scene. Booking early is wise in peak weeks because the island's accommodation fills quickly. It is exactly the brief our Hvar holidays deals are built around.
• Brac, Bol: Bol on Brac is a beach resort reached by ferry from Split, and it is known for Zlatni Rat, a pebble beach whose shape shifts with the wind and currents. The shallow approach suits younger children, and the resort has a relaxed rhythm that differs from the busier harbour towns. The drawback is that Brac is less walkable for nightlife, so guests seeking evening choice may prefer a town base. For families and beach-focused couples, it is a dependable choice. Croatia Family Holidays here suit families who value calm water.
• Istria, Porec: Porec is a coastal town on the Istrian peninsula, set in a region known for wine, olive oil and truffles. The old town and seafront restaurants sit close to the water, and the surrounding countryside makes a useful contrast to the island options further south. Istria is a different proposition from Dalmatia, with a gentler coastline and a strong food culture, so it suits guests who prioritise dining and easy walks over island hopping. Our packages here are typically chosen by couples and food lovers. Croatia Luxury Holidays in this region often centre on fine dining.
