Luxury Croatia Holidays are where ancient cities meet Adriatic sparkle, where terracotta rooftops tumble down to the sea and island-hopping isn’t a novelty—it’s a way of life. This is a country that shifts effortlessly between buzzy and barefoot: one moment you’re sipping cocktails in a converted palace in Dubrovnik, the next you’re barefoot at a beach bar on Vis, debating if it’s too early for another plate of grilled octopus. (It’s not.)
With Swords, Croatia isn’t just a summer destination—it’s a tailor-made journey. We know the back-door wine bars in Split, the secret swim spots on Hvar, and the slow-travel hideaways in Istria where time stretches long and lazy. Whether you’re after a sleek sailing trip through the islands, a family-friendly villa with serious wow-factor, or a boutique hotel that knows how to do breakfast and beach access—we’ll map it all out with your kind of detail.
Croatia’s charm is in the contrasts: Roman ruins and rooftop DJs, UNESCO towns and wild lavender trails, glossy hotels and family-run konobas serving up nonna’s best seafood stew. Wherever your adventure takes you, we’ll make sure it’s done the Swords way—seamless, stylish, and with stories to tell when you get home.
Many people don’t realise you can kayak around Dubrovnik’s city walls—and it’s easily one of the best ways to see the Old Town from a new angle. Paddle past secret caves, glide under towering cliffs, and stop for a swim at Betina Cave Beach, only accessible by water. It’s peaceful, low-key adventurous, and makes you feel like you’ve cracked the code on Croatia.
Perched on the edge of the Adriatic in picture-perfect Rovinj, Hotel Monte Mulini is where grown-up getaways are done properly. An exclusive member of The Leading Hotels of the World, this boutique, adults-only retreat feels polished, peaceful, and just the right kind of indulgent.
Set just outside the city’s ancient stone walls, Sun Gardens Dubrovnik is a dream base for families who want the best of both worlds: easy access to the buzz of Dubrovnik, and a peaceful coastal retreat to come back to. This five-star resort is spacious, stylish and effortlessly family-friendly – and not in that token “we have a kids’ menu” kind of way.
Villa Dubrovnik isn’t one to shout for attention—but it doesn’t need to. Built into the cliffs just a short stroll from the Old Town, this modernist hideaway feels worlds apart from the bustle, floating above the Adriatic with a kind of quiet confidence. White stone, clean lines, glass everywhere—it’s all very understated, very serene, and exactly what you want when you’ve come to switch off in style.
