Croatia

Will and Sally's verdict

With its turquoise shallows and emerald isles, the Dalmation Coast of Croatia is ideal for kayaking - one of our favourite holiday activities. But you don’t have to look far to find other family-friendly adventures, from scaling the walls of Dubrovnik’s Old Town and exploring Plitvice Lakes National Park to sailing in the Adriatic.

Completely Croatia says

We are passionate about Croatia and use our in-depth knowledge and experience to find the best choice of hotels and apartments in this diverse country.

The newly refurbished four-star-plus Hotel Lafodia, on the traffic-free island of Lopud off the Dubrovnik coast, has a children’s club, interconnecting rooms and family rooms, all with sea view. A sandy beach can be found close by as well. With half board, it is ideal for a family holiday.

For those who prefer self-catering, Villa Ana offers 12 one and two bedroom sea-view apartments and a shared pool. Explore the local area, including the medieval town of Trogir, by local bus or water taxi.

If a peaceful island escape fits the bill, we recommend Villas Kolocep. With a gently shelving, sandy beach, lovely pool area, plenty of watersports and no traffic, it’s the ideal environment for families with younger children. There are triple, family and junior suites available and it’s a quick 25 minute ferry hop from Dubrovnik.

Just north of Split is the charming  village of Primosten. Located on a small promontory and shaded by palm trees is the perfect family hotel, Adriatiq Zora. With one of the best kids clubs we’ve seen and plenty of little bars and restaurants in the town, it’s a great way to sample the very best of Croatia.  Suites and family rooms available – half board is optional.
