Croatia honeymoon

Q: When to go in Croatia?

Croatia has two different climates. On the coast, the climate is Mediterranean: winters are pleasant and summers are hot. Further inland, winters are very cold and summers are hot and stormy. The best time to visit Croatia is between May and September: the weather is glorious and the sea is warm enough for swimming. For those who don't like crowds, avoid the touristic coast during July and August. And beware of the wind throughout the year!

Start planning your honeymoon in Croatia

Croatia embodies romance through its dreamy architecture, gorgeous coastline, and idyllic islands. Croatian culture, meanwhile, encompasses elements of neighboring countries while remaining unique. Walk through ancient forts in historic port cities, explore remote islets, or relax on a quiet beach. Evaneos' local English-speaking partners will create a customized itinerary based around your interests.

What makes Croatia a great honeymoon destination?

Croatia is among southern Europe's stand-out destinations for a magical honeymoon, complete with upscale hotels, luxury spas, and world-class restaurants. With all the elements for a romantic getaway - sprawling beaches, pretty harbors, and unspoiled islands - Croatia offers unparalleled opportunities to enjoy a heavenly honeymoon.

Best honeymoon activities and experiences in Croatia

Croatia is dotted with sleepy medieval towns and lined with sun-kissed beaches. With bundles of Mediterranean charm, it offers limitless possibilities when it comes to relaxation and exciting adventures with your loved one. For a little inspiration, consider the following honeymoon spots:

Wander the charming streets of Dubrovnik

Sitting on the glistening Adriatic sea, Dubrovnik is among Croatia's most romantic cities. Wander through the winding alleys of its dramatically-situated old town in either the quieter morning or evening hours. Then round the day off by savoring some seriously fresh seafood in one of its many charming restaurants.

Be pampered in Lošinj

The island of Lošinj has transformed itself into one of the Mediterranean's most trendy spa destinations. Often incorporating the island's natural herbs, an array of treatments and spa 'rituals' for two are offered at Lošinj's relaxed, boutique hotels.

Explore the herbs of Susak

Susak is one of Croatia's most seductive islands, with remote, palm-lined sandy beaches that contrast with Croatia's more crowded islands. After visiting its pristine beaches, take a cocktail mixology lesson where you'll learn all about Susak's botanical herbs.

Visit the vibrant Hvar

Hvar is where trendy bars rub up alongside charming Gothic palaces, while water taxis transport you to idyllic islets. Rent a two-person scooter to reach the crystal-clear blue waters at Grebišće, one of the best honeymoon spots in Croatia.

Escape to the Croatian Riviera at Rovinj

The pastel-colored buildings that sit along Rovinj harbor are a gorgeous backdrop for a romantic meal with your beloved. Or for dinner overlooking ancient Venetian towers, choose Tipico Old Town, where specialties include sumptuous squid ink risotto or irresistible carpaccio.

Tips for planning a honeymoon in Croatia

For the ideal honeymoon in Croatia, avoid the 'high season' months of July and August, as that is when the coastal resorts welcome cruises and large numbers of visitors. The best time to enjoy a Croatian honeymoon is in September or May, while the ideal length of stay is ten days, providing the opportunity to explore both Croatia's charming towns and remote islands. It is also worth remembering that Croatia has three public holidays in late June (on the 20th, 22nd and 25th), meaning most amenities may be closed over these days.
