About Split
Croatia’s second city, Split is among the oldest in the region and its coast is almost as beautiful as the mountains that frame it. Look one way and you have rugged, forested granite. Gaze out to sea, and the blue ocean is studded with islands.
Once you can tear yourself away from the views and the waters of the Dalmatian Coast, it would be a shame not to take in a little history. Diocletian’s Palace, at the heart of Split’s Old Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an absolute must-see. It was built in 295 AD for the Roman Emperor Diocletian, but generations of rulers used it as a retreat after his death.
Whether or not your luxury villa in Split comes with your own personal chef, this rugged coast and serene sea delivers all the glorious bounty of the ocean. Feast on fresh fish on the waterfront, either in the city itself or the tranquil villages that surround it. The views and the food all add up to a truly perfect villa holiday in the sun.
