Delve into the highlights of Croatia and Montenegro on this expertly curated holiday, carefully tailored to showcase the highlights of this sun-soaked region. Covering key stops such as Pula, Split, Hvar, Dubrovnik and Portonovi, you'll get to know the food, landscapes and cultures that make these Balkan beauties so irresistible.

Over two weeks, you’ll travel from Istria’s quiet hilltop towns to the fjord-like beauty of Boka Bay, combining private touring, exceptional cuisine and stays at luxurious hotels. Along the way, explore two of Croatia’s UNESCO-listed National Parks, cruise the Adriatic on private boat trips, and uncover ancient sites with expert guides. In Split, you’ll join a professional archaeologist at the Salona excavation site, while in Gata you’ll be introduced to soparnik, a traditional dish rarely seen on menus. There’s also time to unwind at a forest lodge on the coast, sample wines in Istria, and join local families for cooking classes and truffle tastings.

End your journey in Portonovi, Montenegro, where a One&Only resort offers a peaceful base from which to explore the dramatic landscapes and elegant towns of Boka Bay by private boat.

If you’re looking to experience the Adriatic in style, this is the way to do it.
