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.

Centuries of trade, settlement and conquest have left a

unique historical and cultural legacy, in the great walled

ports of Dubrovnik and Split – both UNESCO World

Heritage Sites - and the cosmopolitan capital, Zagreb.

Today, Croatia is at the very heart of the continent,

and assumes full EU membership in 2013. With its five

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.

Discover the 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.

a land of contrasts. From the sparkling blue Adriatic to the rugged

Dinaric Alps, bustling cities to peaceful villages

– Dalmatia is a diverse and fascinating region

that truly has something for everyone.

protect the port, is a glorious mixture of ancient houses

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.

Throughout the year, Dubrovnik hosts cultural, religious

and seasonal festivals, ensuring there’s always something

to see and do in this sublime, seductive city by the sea.

Its relaxed ambiance and rich cultural life make it a highly

desirable place to have on your doorstep.

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.
