Small Boutique hotels in DALMATIA

The southern coast of Croatia is a paradise full of little gems to discover. With the Adriatic Sea lapping its coast, it offers beaches of fine sand and turquoise blue waters, next to an exuberant historical heritage. The Dalmatian coast, known for its beauty as "the pearl of the Adriatic", extends to more than 2000 km.

Dubrovnik, with its fascinating walled old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a must-see. In Split, the Diocletian's Palace, from Roman times, shows the stature of this extraordinary city. Nearby is the charming fishing village Catvat, with magnificent coves of pristine water.

The walls of Ston, built to safeguard its precious salt flats, are considered the second longest in the world. The island of Hvar is the largest of all those along the coast and also has the most sunny days per year. The Elaphiti archipelago, consisting of nine small islands, is another paradise. Only three of them are inhabited: the vital Loup, Sipan, with a heritage of more than 30 churches and Kolocep, with the characteristic Mediterranean landscape of pines and olive trees.

Inland, in the Krka National Park take a dip in in spectacular pools and waterfalls surrounded by greenery. Charming informal luxury hotels open the door for enjoying this unique coastline.
