Croatia
With its island-studded coastline, which stretches for
more than 1,000 miles along the Adriatic, Croatia has
been an international crossroads since ancient times.

Heritage Sites - and the cosmopolitan capital, Zagreb.

international airports, and the finest road network
in Europe, Croatia is easy to reach from just about
anywhere; just one reason it’s now among the world’s
fastest-growing tourist destinations.
The sea remains one of the great attractions of life in
Croatia, which boasts incomparable sailing, diving and
watersports. But wherever you go, you’ll discover a
country abundant in history, culture and natural beauty
– a true paradise of glittering blue waters, unspoiled
islands, ancient cities, charming villages and spectacular
mountain scenery.
Easy to get to. impossible to forget. Marrying a superb climate with a fascinating
history and astonishing natural beauty, Croatia
is a land like no other, at the very heart of Europe.

Many people dream of a simpler life, where things move at
a more leisurely pace. You’ll certainly find it on the Adriatic
coast. The sea and seasons won’t be rushed, and life here
soon takes on their same unhurried, timeless rhythms.
Others have the urge to venture out and expand their
horizons. With its crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches
and spectacular limestone cliffs, the Adriatic offers
sailing, cruising and diving that are second to none.
What makes this coast so remarkable, though, is its
islands. There are more than 1,000 of them waiting to
be explored, including Korčula, the Elafiti archipelago,
and Mljet National Park, which appears in Homer’s epic
poem, The Odyssey.
And alongside Croatia’s natural splendour, you’ll find
a rich cultural legacy left by centuries of civilisation,
too. The region’s crowning glory is the walled city of
Dubrovnik, whose priceless medieval architecture has
earned it World Heritage status. There are few finer
places in the world than the Old Town for lingering over a
lazy lunch, or simply strolling among the narrow streets.
The great privilege of owning a Residence here is that you
can enjoy all facets of Adriatic life. Take it easy today, do
something more active tomorrow. Explore inland, or just
gaze out over the sea for as long as you like.
life, the way you want it. Croatia’s Adriatic coast affords you the
ultimate luxury: the freedom to choose
how you spend your days.

The Dalmatian Coast is one of those rare places where life
is still governed by the roll of the seasons. The orchards,
olive groves and vineyards yield the fruit, oil and wine at
the heart of Mediterranean food culture, while the rich
waters of the Adriatic supply local markets and restaurants
with fresh fish and oysters throughout the year.
Just offshore, the beautiful Elafiti Islands offer a complete
escape from the bustle of the modern world; you can still
see the elegant homes built by the aristocracy as their
summer retreats.
From the sea, the land rises quickly to form the foothills of
the Dinaric Alps – Dinaridi in Croatian - a chain of rugged
mountains stretching more than 600km along the Adriatic
coast. A spectacular backdrop to the entire region – and a
symbol of its long, proud history.

with the traditional tiled roofs and green-painted shutters,
and grand aristocratic mansions, set along narrow streets
that are perfect for strolling and people-watching.

and seasonal festivals, ensuring there’s always something
to see and do in this sublime, seductive city by the sea.

As a resident, you can enjoy – and take part in – the huge
range of traditional seasonal festivals and international
cultural events that ‘summer-only’ visitors to Dalmatia
never see. The cycle begins with the New Year fireworks
in Dubrovnik: in February, the city indulges in lavish
festivities for its patron saint, St Blaise. It also stages a
colourful medieval Carnival at the beginning of Lent, and
a host of traditional Easter celebrations. March’s oyster
season is marked with festivals in Dubrovnik and Ston,
including the Dubrovnik Summer Festival from mid-July
to late August, with open-air concerts and theatrical
productions. There’s more music in September when
international violinist Julian Rachlin hosts his prestigious
chamber music festival in the city.
Throughout the autumn, you can enjoy the bounty of
Dalmatia’s orchards, farms and vineyards. Christmas sees
Dubrovnik transformed into a city straight out of a fairytale
with its lights, decorations and carol-singers.
