Split is a city in the heart of Dalmatia whose beauty attracts thousands of visitors each year from all over the world.
Built around the UNESCO-listed Diocletian’s Palace, this dynamic city blends ancient stone streets, lively promenade Riva, and beautiful beaches stretching along its sun-drenched coastline. Surrounded by islands such as Hvar, Brač, and Šolta, and framed by the green slopes of Marjan Hill, Split offers an exceptional balance of cultural heritage, natural beauty, and vibrant atmosphere, while still reflecting the slowed-down way of life of the locals, known as the Dalmatian phenomenon called “fjaka”.
The Split region offers diverse coastal and residential areas ideal for a luxury villa stay. Popular locations such as Žnjan, Meje, and Bačvice are perfect for guests who want to stay close to beaches and city attractions. For more privacy and panoramic sea views, areas like Podstrana, Jesenice, and Kaštela provide elegant seaside surroundings, while Omiš adds dramatic scenery with its mountain backdrop and the Cetina River.
Guests staying in villas in Split can explore Diocletian’s Palace, relax along the Riva promenade, hike in Marjan Forest Park, take boat trips to the Blue Lagoon and nearby islands, or experience the world-famous Ultra Europe Festival held in the city each summer. Adventure seekers can try rafting on the Cetina River.
