Last Minute Solo Holidays to Croatia

These resorts give solo travellers a straightforward base, with walkable centres and frequent transport links for day trips.

• Split waterfront: Split is the second-largest city in Croatia and makes a practical base for a solo traveller who wants both city life and easy access to the sea. The compact old town sits around Diocletian's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the promenade is lined with cafés where eating alone feels natural. Ferries depart from the harbour to nearby islands, so you can plan day trips without arranging a car. The trade-off is a busier centre in high summer, but for most solo visitors the walkability and transport links outweigh the crowds. Explore our Croatia holidays range to compare departures.
• Rovinj old town: Rovinj is a small Istrian fishing town with a historic old quarter rising from the sea on a peninsula, and it suits a solo traveller who values quiet streets over nightlife. The Church of St Euphemia dominates the skyline and the seafront restaurants make an unhurried evening easy to enjoy. The town sits further from the main airports than the larger coastal cities, so the journey takes longer, but the reward is a calmer pace that matches the same brief our Croatia Luxury Holidays deals are built around. We recommend it for travellers who want a slower stay with good food close at hand.
• Dubrovnik old town: Dubrovnik is a walled medieval city on the Adriatic, and its old town is pedestrian only, which makes it comfortable to explore alone at any hour. The city walls can be walked in a circuit offering views over the rooftops and the sea. Accommodation inside the walls is limited and tends to be pricier, so we often suggest staying just outside and taking the shuttle or a short walk in. Evenings can be busy in summer, yet the atmosphere after dark remains one of the most memorable in the country. Browse our Dubrovnik holidays for available dates.
• Hvar Town harbour: Hvar Town has a lively waterfront of bars and restaurants and a fortress that overlooks the harbour, giving a solo traveller plenty of places to spend an evening. Ferries from the mainland port nearby bring visitors across to the island, whose lavender fields and sunshine suit a traveller who wants a sociable base. The island can be expensive in peak weeks and the harbour fills quickly in midsummer. We suggest booking early in the season for the best choice of rooms and ferry times.

• Trogir old town: Trogir is a small medieval old town on an island linked to the mainland, with a historic centre listed by UNESCO and a short drive from the larger city to the north-west. Its narrow lanes and waterfront cafés make it easy to wander alone without feeling exposed, which is exactly the kind of relaxed pace our Croatia All Inclusive Holidays are built around. Trogir has fewer large hotels than its bigger neighbour, so choice can be limited in peak months and rooms are best reserved early. For a solo traveller seeking heritage and a quieter evening, it is a rewarding choice close to a bigger transport hub.
