Luxury Holidays to Croatia

The islands give luxury travellers quieter harbours, sailing access and a slower rhythm away from the mainland towns.

• Korcula: Korcula is a walled island town with a calmer pace than the big mainland cities, and it is widely linked with Marco Polo's birthplace claim, which gives its old town a distinctive story. Ferries make the island workable as a day trip or a multi-night stay within a southern Dalmatian route. Croatia All Inclusive Holidays suit guests who want meals and drinks covered while they explore its harbour restaurants. The town is small enough to walk end to end in under an hour, and we recommend it for guests who want heritage without the crowds of peak summer.
• Vis: Vis is a remote island that was closed to foreigners for decades under the Yugoslav army, and it was only opened to visitors in the late twentieth century. Today it is visited mainly by yachts and by ferries from the mainland, which keeps development low and beaches quieter than on the larger islands. The trade-off is fewer hotels and longer transfers, so luxury on Vis depends on choosing carefully and booking early. We think it suits guests who want seclusion and are happy to plan the journey in advance.
• Mljet: Mljet is a southern island reached by ferry from the mainland coast nearby, and it is known for a national park with saltwater lakes and dense forest. The island is quieter than the busier Dalmatian islands, and its lakes make it a good choice for guests who want nature alongside a refined base. Ferry timings limit day-trip flexibility, so we advise building in a full day for the crossing and park visit. It is a strong pick for couples who prefer green scenery to lively harbour nightlife.
• Kornati: The Kornati archipelago is a chain of islands and islets within a national park, and boat trips from the central Dalmatian coast visit its rocky coves and clear water. It is a sailing-led experience rather than a beach-resort stay, which means it works best as an excursion layered on top of a mainland base. Boat schedules depend on the season and weather, so we check departures before confirming a day out. It appeals to guests who want the sea itself to be the main attraction. It is exactly the brief our Croatia Beach Holidays deals are built around.
• Lastovo: Lastovo is a quiet, car-free island in the southern Adriatic, reached by ferry from the neighbouring island of Vela Luka, and it remains one of the least developed islands in Croatia. Its sleepy harbour town of Lastovo, the surrounding pine-scented hills and the sheltered coves of the Pelješac and Lastovo channel give it a genuinely unhurried island feel. Visitors can swim from pebble beaches, walk the marked trails through the Lastovo archipelago nature park and enjoy fresh seafood at waterfront konobas. Because it is so far from the busier ferry routes, Lastovo suits guests who want true island seclusion, and we recommend it for travellers seeking a peaceful escape.
