Your stay
Split, Croatia's second-largest city, is a vibrant blend of ancient history and modern Mediterranean life. Built around the magnificent Diocletian's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Split offers slow travelers an authentic Croatian experience away from the tourist crowds of Dubrovnik.
Unlike its more famous neighbor to the south, Split feels like a living, breathing Croatian city where locals actually live and work within the ancient palace walls. The sprawling Roman ruins serve as the city center, with cafes, shops, and apartments seamlessly integrated into 1,700-year-old architecture.
With stunning beaches just a short walk from the historic center, a thriving food scene, and easy access to nearby islands and national parks, Split is perfect for those seeking a relaxed pace with a mix of cultural exploration and seaside relaxation.
We believe in being upfront — here's what you'd arrange separately.

A place is saved in Split for someone who travels slowly and lives well.
When to go
Split enjoys a long, mild season and is genuinely pleasant from March through October. Summer is hot and lively; spring and early autumn are ideal for slow travel — warm enough for beaches, cool enough for exploring on foot.
Our Split programme runs from late March, as spring arrives: mild days for walking and excursions, a quiet palace, and the feeling of being a resident rather than a tourist.
Warming from around 15°C in March to 22°C in May, Diocletian's Palace is quiet, and the Dalmatian countryside is green. Perfect conditions for gentle exploring and long terrace lunches.
Temperatures reach 30–35°C. Beaches are wonderful, the Adriatic sea is at its warmest (26°C), and the islands are spectacular — though the city centre gets busy.
Warm sea water persists into October (23°C), crowds thin dramatically, and the golden light over the Palace makes for magical photography.
Mild at 10–15°C with little rain in December–February. A true off-season experience — locals have the Palace back to themselves and prices drop significantly.
