As there is nothing better to help you relax on a well-earned holiday than lazy days on the beach, here is a list of some of the best places to do just that in Croatia. As the country is stuffed with natural gems, there is really no shortage of options but here are some of our picks of the best of the best….

Brač is a famously beautiful Croatian island in the Adriatic, that is part of the Split-Dalmatia region and the biggest island in Dalmatia. It is best-known for Zlatni Rat (the Golden Cape), a stunning white-pebble beach outside the resort town of Bol that is a popular windsurfing spot, and for the striking horseshoe-shaped beach that is located by the island's main town, Supetar. With its distinct and varied coast with numerous gullies, crevices, cavities, round valleys, coves, and famously lovely beaches and its lush inland landscape, it is a place of great and singular natural beauty.
However, that is not all there is to the island. As a major site for quarrying stone since antiquity, it makes sense that the island is also home to some incredible works of manmade beauty too. Pretty traditional villages are to be found on the island, with the seaside village of Pučišća being especially noteworthy. However, the most famous architectural gem on Brač is likely the beautiful hermitage of Pustinja Blaca. One of several hermitages on the island, Pustinja Blaca is made from the glittering white limestone for which Brač is well-known and is set into a romantically craggy cliffside. A rather extraordinary sight to behold, it is a must-see for those who have found a vacation rental in Split and plan on taking the ferry over to explore Brač for the day.

Tvrdalj is a palace and the fortified summer residence of Petar Hektorović, the Croatian poet (1487-1572). The most famous building in Stari Grad, it was built over the course of the poet's life and it had the same importance for him as his literary work.
In fact, it is actually a literary work in its own right and is engraved with more than twenty stone inscriptions in both Latin and Italian as well as inscriptions in the Croatian language. One particularly important inscription is the Italian, “Fede e realtà o quanto è bella!” (“Oh how lovely faith and reality are!”), which was Hektorović's life motto.
In addition, the building boasts beautiful views, pretty grounds and gardens and is richly steeped in local history. To spend time wandering this incredible architectural gem, just find a vacation rental in Hvar.

The county of Split-Dalmatia is an ideal spot to find a vacation rental in Croatia as it is one of the most beautiful parts of the country with an incredible coastline and a wide variety of tourist attractions. When one looks into these tourist attractions of the region, they will quickly discover that the most popular usually fall into one of a few categories: famously lovely beaches, incredible churches or historic fortresses, natural gems, museums, and scenic spots boasting panoramic views. One especially interesting spot, that is a must-see for those who have found a villa in Split-Dalmatia and are planning a day trip to the charming port town of Hvar, is the town's fortress. This fascinating gem is not only a picturesque architectural wonder but it also combines several other of the types of attractions of the region under one roof as it is also a museum, boasts a rich and intriguing history, and affords one of the best views in the entire country.
Perched high atop the town, the Fortress or Fortica (also known by the locals as the Španjola) takes in views down over the cluster of incredible historic buildings of the old town of Hvar, the bay, its surroundings, the sea, and all the way out to the Pakleni islands. This view is often made even more impossibly lovely by the incredibly vibrant hues of this landscape on a sunny day with the bright cerulean of the skies reflected in rich blue waters, the Mediterranean greenery that is so lush in this area, and the creamy white stone of the buildings below gleaming in the light with the rich terracotta of the tiled roofs atop them all, all painting a vivid scene. It is equally an ideal place to go during the day for the clearest views to see far out of the water or to go at sunset and watch the rich glow that makes the city even more magical and pretty. At night, the building is lit up beautifully to crown the city perfectly and can be seen from all around.
