Best Areas to Stay
The Adriatic coast pairs translucent water and walled medieval cities with more than a thousand islands, superb food and wine, and a shoreline made for boats. Our collection spans the Dubrovnik Riviera, the glamorous islands of Hvar and Brač, the Roman heart of Split, green Istria and the Makarska Riviera — each home chosen for privacy, comfort and full concierge service. For British travellers it is one of the Mediterranean’s easiest escapes: a short, direct flight, no time difference to speak of, and a long, warm season.
The coast is wonderfully accessible. From the UK, direct flights run from London (Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted), Manchester and other regional airports to Dubrovnik and Split in around two and a half hours, with the season strongest from May to October. From the US, the smoothest routes connect once through a European hub such as London, Frankfurt, Munich or Istanbul — our guide to travelling from the USA to Croatia breaks down the airlines, timings and best connections. From the airport, your transfer — private car or speedboat to the islands — is arranged in advance, so you step off the plane and straight into the holiday.
Our homes combine world-class comforts with authentic Adriatic style: infinity pools and sea-view terraces, private chefs and gourmet kitchens, daily housekeeping and 24/7 concierge, chauffeured transfers and private skippers, in-house spa and wellness, and exclusive access to island experiences — yacht charters, wine tastings, sea-cave excursions and Michelin-level dining.
Privacy, space and personalisation. A private home gives you the whole property — pool, terrace, multiple ensuite bedrooms and the option of full staff — usually for less per person than several five-star suites, and far better for families and groups who want to be together on the water.
When to Visit
When the coast feels its best — and when to book your stay.
Spring · May–Jun
Warm seas, blossoming islands and quiet old towns before the peak — our specialists’ favourite window, and the best value of the year.
Peak · Jul–Aug
Hot, sun-soaked days and the full social and sailing calendar. The most sought-after weeks — the best villas book six to twelve months ahead.
Early Autumn · Sep–Oct
Warm sea, harvest season and softer light — ideal for sailing, wine country and couples, with fewer crowds and gentler prices.
Off-Season · Nov–Apr
Cooler and tranquil, perfect for Dubrovnik city breaks and festive stays — many island villas close, so plan early with our team.
The Map
From Istria in the north to the Dubrovnik Riviera in the south, with Hvar, Brač and the Dalmatian islands in between — the whole coast within easy reach.
