Sailing in Croatia
Yacht & Villa
Get the best of both worlds and combine a stay in an opulent seaside villa with a boat of your choice docked just in front.

Perfectly blending architecture, ambiance, luxury, and landscapes, the villas range from historic residences to deluxe contemporary properties. Enveloping you in unprecedented privacy and freedom, the Yacht and Villa itineraries invigorate the spirit and rejuvenate the body.

Day 1
Brač Island
Arrive to Brač Island and settle in your private villa. Crickets will be your only neighbors at this stunning seaside property, nestled in the embrace of lushly green pines. Enjoy the horizon-reaching vistas, splendid al fresco dining and lounge areas, a private pool and the liberty to come and go as you please with your own private boat.
Day 2
The shores of Brač
Poised directly across from Split, cozied up to a few other Dalmatian islands, Brač feels surprisingly like a continent of its own. Spend the day exploring its craggy shores and discovering quaint seaside settlements lining the pristine bays. Visit Milna, Sutivan or Pučišća, where you can see a stone mason’s school, the island’s centuries-old claim to fame.
Day 3
Hvar Island
Discover the first neighbor and one of Croatia’s sunniest islands – Hvar. Featuring over 2.400 years of history, stunning lavender fields and some of the country’s most famous wines, Hvar can be anything you want it to be. Whether you head for the glitzy town of Hvar, or the subtler Vrboska and Jelsa, the beauty of Hvar is not to be missed.
Day 4
Bol on Brač
Venture out to Brač island's – and quite possibly Croatian - most famous beach: Zlatni Rat (the Golden Horn) in the town of Bol, on the southern shores of Brač Island. Gracing each and every brochure of Croatia, Zlatni Rat is known for changing its shape with the winds. Windsurfers adore this beach, but so do families and lovers of pretty places.
Yacht and Villa itinerary offers you the freedom to be spontaneous, to come and go as you please, and to do as much or as little as you feel like. Brač Island checks off all the required boxes for a Yacht and Villa itinerary: availability of luxurious villas with a private boat dock and alluring surroundings to explore. Simple.
Along the Croatian coast, you will find no shortage of similar options. If you are up for a more happening base, consider the nearby neighbor of Brač, the island of Hvar. Perhaps even the all-time favorite Dubrovnik, close to the Elaphite islands and the Lastovo archipelago.
Day 5
Wines of Central Dalmatia
Dedicate a day to delving into the exciting scene of Central Dalmatian wines. You can explore Brač by land, traveling across the island to its oldest cooperative, Stina winery in Bol. Or sail back to Hvar, and meet up with producers like Ivo Duboković or Teo Huljić, who are full of love for local sorts and are willing to share the curious secrets of their trade.
Day 6
At the villa
Dolce far niente is an Italian saying, but – given the many centuries of influence - it applies just as well in Dalmatia. Spend a day lounging around your private villa, immersed in the laidback coastal living. Start with an espresso and magazines, sunbathe by the pool, enjoy a light lunch, then swim to refresh. Take the boat out to meet the sunset, perhaps.
Day 7
Blue Cave on Biševo Island
Sail past another neighboring island, Vis, to discover the tiny Biševo and one of the most unique natural phenomena in the area, the Blue Cave. Named after a blue light which fills the cave at a certain time of day (compliments of sunbeams reflecting off the bottom), expect to beam with a silver glow as you marvel at the cave’s interior.
Day 8
Brač-Split
Bid farewell to the splendors of island living and head out to the mainland. Disembark your boat in Split and enjoy one last farewell espresso, or one more glass of wine. Cheers, anyhow, then make your way to Split international airport.
