CROATIA LUXURY TRAVEL
TAILOR-MADE TRAVEL CROATIA
Croatia is one of the Mediterranean’s most layered destinations, where Roman amphitheatres, Venetian harbours, and Byzantine old towns meet more than a thousand islands and some of the clearest waters in the Adriatic. While luxury land-based tours unlock the country’s remarkable cultural depth and coastal character, private yachting reveals a wilder, more intimate Croatia that is only accessible by sea.
Our bespoke luxury tours in Croatia move between these worlds with ease. Sail between secluded islands aboard a private yacht, explore UNESCO-listed Dubrovnik and Split with expert local guides, and retreat to elegant waterfront villas overlooking the sea. Venture inland through olive groves and hilltop villages and embark on active adventures, dine on freshly caught seafood in atmospheric harbours, and discover hidden coves along a coastline shaped by centuries of maritime tradition.
Carefully tailored to each traveler, combining private island experiences, exceptional accommodations, curated cultural encounters, and seamless white-glove service, our luxury Croatia journeys reveal the country through authenticity, comfort, and unforgettable coastal beauty.

WHERE TO GO IN CROATIA
From the medieval walls of Dubrovnik to the Roman heritage of Istria, the island-studded Dalmatian Coast, and the waterways of Split's ancient core, learn more about Croatia's highlights.
Split
Roman emperor Diocletian began building his palace in Split around 295 AD; today, it still encompasses part of the city’s old town, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Get to know this ancient city by exploring the charming fresh produce and fish markets where locals do their shopping or by visiting the former home of famous Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović. Meštrović’s home has been converted into a gallery where Blue Parallel guests can enjoy a VIP tour with the curator. Split is also home to one of the oldest continuously used Sephardic synagogues in the world and one of the oldest Jewish cemeteries in Europe. Travelers can take in the sea air strolling along the harbor, which has been a trading post since Greek and Roman times.
Croatian Islands
Off Croatia’s coast in the pristine waters of the Adriatic are hundreds of islands that vary in size, shape, and landscape. Travelers can opt for day trips or charter their own private yacht to navigate from island to island. The island of Hvar is famous among jet setters and boasts a lively town center with elegant restaurants. Vis Island features horseshoe bays and crumbling 17th-century townhouses lining the coast and harbors. On a tiny islet, Biševo, visit the famous Blue Grotto, which is known as one of the top natural beauty spots in the Adriatic. Take in the extraordinary glowing blue light which illuminates the cave from the sun’s reflection. Visit Korčula island, the birthplace of Marco Polo, which is rich in vineyards, olive groves, and charming small towns. Cruise to the island of Mljet – one of the greenest and most beautiful islands in the Adriatic.
Dubrovnik
Known as the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” Dubrovnik is a majestic ancient city fortified by impressive walls that have protected it for centuries. Game of Thrones fans may recognize the parts of the Old Town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, as King’s Landing. Feel as though you’ve stepped back in time as you stroll along the city walls or wander the narrow cobblestone streets between stone buildings and through archways in the city center, feeling the magic at every turn. The surrounding waters offer another way to take in this beautiful city, and travelers can enjoy sea kayaking with stunning views of the city walls. Outside of the city, visit the striking Konavle Valley to enjoy a horseback riding excursion surrounded by mountains and valleys, green hills, and naked stone. A day trip to nearby Montenegro makes for an excellent extension to your time in Dubrovnik.
Istira
Explore the Istria Peninsula on the northern coast of Croatia with the picturesque fishing town of Rovinj as your seaside base. Istria is famous for its top-notch culinary scene that includes white truffles and wines, particularly Momjan Muscat. In the coastal town of Pula, visit Roman monuments, including a Colosseum-like amphitheater, the Triumphal Arch of the Sergi, and the Temple of Augustus. This area is also famous for its rich modern culture. Grožnjan is a tiny Medieval town that suddenly comes alive with music and art festivals and workshops during the summer months.
