The great thing about Croatia is the fact that it’s a gorgeous destination that has yet to make it big. What does this mean for travelers? It means that travelers can head to this luxe destination and pay far less for a fabulous getaway with all the perks than they would heading to more popular European destinations. Gorgeous ocean views and a beautiful city make it one of the loveliest “unpopular” vacation destinations around.
The only thing better about Croatia than the view is the fact that the upscale hotels are actually affordable. Travelers can revel in a luxury vacation in high-end hotels without paying as much as they would elsewhere around the world.
Villa Orsula
Dubrovnik is probably one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but it’s so undiscovered by tourists at this point. It’s actually an old mansion that went through a complete renovation to turn it into an 11-bedroom resort with two suites and uninterrupted views of the sea. Some of the affordable upgrades include a bottle of champagne upon arrival in your upscale room or suite as well as private shopping trips and airport transfers.
Villa Agave
This gorgeous three-bedroom villa once belonged to a famed archaeologist by the name of Sir Arthur Evans, but now it’s a luxury rental with five terraces featuring sweeping views of the sea. The house overlooks the sea as well as Old Town Dubrovnik. Those who love the Game of Thrones will appreciate the fact that the villa overlooks the Island of Lokrum, where the show is filmed.
Hotel Lone
It sits among gorgeous trees with a striking pool. The Hotel Lone also offers visitors a 20 percent discount on their room when they stay six or more nights between now and the end of September. Located in the coastal resort town of Rovinj, this contemporary hotel features five-star restaurants and plenty of entertainment.
