DAY 2

Istrian Hilltops, Coastal Elegance & Refined Gastronomy

After breakfast, your private luxury journey continues into Istria — Croatia’s most celebrated gourmet and wine region, known for its rolling vineyards, medieval hilltop towns, olive groves, and sophisticated Mediterranean charm.

DAY 3

Zadar Heritage & Exclusive Island Retreat on Dugi Otok

After breakfast, you depart Opatija and continue south along the Adriatic coast toward Zadar — one of Dalmatia’s most historic and atmospheric coastal cities, where ancient heritage and contemporary Mediterranean lifestyle exist side by side.

DAY 4

Private Speedboat Escape Through the Kornati Islands

Today is dedicated entirely to the Adriatic at its most exclusive and untouched. After a relaxed breakfast, you depart directly from Dugi Otok aboard your private high-speed boat for a full-day exploration of the spectacular Kornati National Park — one of the most extraordinary island landscapes in the Mediterranean.

DAY 5

Ottoman Heritage, Coastal Elegance & Dalmatian Wine Country

After breakfast you depart Dugi Otok by private speed boat and return to the mainland, where the journey continues south through some of Dalmatia’s most culturally layered landscapes. Your first stop is the remarkable Maškovića Han — the westernmost surviving example of Ottoman civil architecture in Europe. Originally built in the 17th century as a luxurious residence for Yusuf Mašković, a high-ranking Ottoman admiral at the court in Constantinople, the complex today stands as a beautifully restored blend of stone courtyards, arches, gardens, and historic interiors.

DAY 6

Split Cultural Discovery, Seaside Elegance & Beach Escape

The morning is dedicated to discovering Split through a private guided walking experience that reveals the city’s extraordinary blend of Roman heritage, Venetian influence, and vibrant contemporary Mediterranean life.

DAY 7

Brač Olive Heritage, Island Flavours & Seaside Serenity

After a relaxed morning departure from Split, you set off by private high-speed boat across the shimmering Adriatic toward the island of Brač, where the coastline gradually fades into open sea and the island’s rugged silhouette emerges in the distance. The journey itself is part of the experience — entirely private, unhurried, and defined by comfort, with chilled refreshments served on board and the option of a refreshing swim stop in a secluded turquoise bay accessible only by boat, far from any trace of the mainland.

DAY 8

Equine Sea Experience, Šolta Discovery & Zlatni Rat Elegance

After a private morning dedicated to an exclusive horseback riding experience along Brač’s coastal landscape, you begin the day in a setting defined by calm rhythm and untouched Mediterranean nature. Riding through quiet trails framed by pine trees and limestone terrain, with moments where the sea appears just beyond the shoreline, the experience feels both grounding and cinematic — a rare way to connect with the island’s natural beauty in its most authentic form.

DAY 9

Hvar Arrival, Timeless Island Heritage & Hidden Culinary Traditions

The day begins with a private boat departure from Brač, setting course across the shimmering Adriatic toward Hvar — an island long regarded as one of the Mediterranean’s most sophisticated and sun-drenched destinations, where Venetian heritage, lavender-covered hills, and a vibrant yachting culture blend into a uniquely refined island atmosphere.

DAY 13

Dubrovnik Finale: Timeless Stone, Adriatic Light & Refined Farewell

In the morning, we depart early towards Dubrovnik, crossing back into Croatia as we arrive in one of the most iconic and historically significant cities on the Adriatic coast. Often referred to as the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” Dubrovnik is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its remarkably preserved medieval walls, elegant limestone streets, and its historic role as the independent Republic of Ragusa — a maritime city-state that once thrived on diplomacy and trade.

DAY 14

Departure: Until We Meet Again

After a final breakfast in Dubrovnik, a private transfer will take you to the airport for your journey home. As you leave the city behind, the coastline slowly fades, but the impressions of the past days remain vivid — from alpine lakes and underground wonders, to medieval towns, mountain panoramas, riverside cities, and the timeless Adriatic coast.
