About the Croatia Islands
With over a thousand islands to choose from, visitors to Croatia are spoilt for choice.
In Hvar, the most fashionable of the Croatia islands, luxury villas are just one of the attractions that draw the jetset to this Adriatic resort. Striking medieval buildings pay tribute to years of Venetian rule, while the white limestone walls of the Spanjol Fortress offer sweeping views across islands, coast and ocean. During the summer months Hvar is a must-stop destination for the European glitterati. The harbour makes the perfect spot for a lazy lunch people-watching, yacht-spotting and soaking up the views.
With its pine forests, tranquil fishing villages and historic wellness resorts, Lošinj is another must-visit destination. It’s particularly popular with families and those seeking to recharge completely. Over spring and summer, the scent of lavender, pines and fresh oregano fills the air.
Whether you’re looking to unwind in the sun with a glass of wine, take up a water sport, or party with Europe’s elite, there is a Croatian island to suit you. In fact, some of the best villas in Croatia are to be found amid these tranquil waters.
