Lovran

Culture lovers will want to check into the charming resort of Lovran, which has an elegant Old Town with cobbled streets, a scenic seaside promenade and stunning mansions. It is also a great spot for indulging your appetite with dozens of wine bars, bistros and inviting cafes. If possible, plan your stay to coincide with one of the fantastic annual festivals that are held here, including The Asparagus Festival (April), The Cherry Festival (June) and The Chestnut Festival (October).

Remisens Excelsior is a terrific hotel in Lovran, situated on the promenade with lovely views out to the Adriatic.

Sipan

Travelling with that special someone? The tiny secluded island of Sipan is one of the more romantic areas (one of many!) in the Elafiti archipelago. Here you will find a picture-perfect beach, gorgeous vineyards and alluring orchards that are bursting with colourful grapes, pomegranates, figs and various other tantalising fruits. There is an unparalleled sense of peace here which makes it the ideal place for relaxing and spending time with your partner.

Hotel Bozica offers incredible views over the bay from the fabulous restaurant. Be sure to book in advance as this (understandably) fills up quickly and particularly in peak times.

Orebic

Croatia is world-famous for its sensational wines, so you will certainly want to sample the local produce during your stay. The island of Orebic on the Peljesac peninsula is the best place for oenophiles. A vineyard tour and tasting is an absolute must with the Dingac and Postup red wines being a local speciality produced exclusively by the island’s unique microclimate.

Hotel Indijan is a secluded retreat with an intimate feel and world-class service. It also has its own vineyard and wine cellar, so you never have to stray far for a glass of the good stuff!

These three wonderful Croatia resorts showcase the country’s great beauty and put you in the best place to explore and soak up the distinctive culture. It is impossible not to fall in love with this heavenly destination after a stay at any of these resorts that offer a different perpective to its guests.
