But there’s good reason both Hollywood and businesses keep returning to this small Mediterranean nation along the Adriatic Sea: Up and down the coast, it’s truly as stunning as it appears on camera, and moments here consistently feel elaborately staged … except that they are not.
Mythical Dubrovnik
Within tall and strong medieval walls lies open-air museum worth A-listers. One of the most iconic coastal cities of Europe, more popular than Croatia itself – Dubrovnik.
Event planners from all over the world continue to rave about the small ancient town as a great destination for groups seeking a picture-perfect Mediterranean venue. Charming, extremely compact, with superb accommodation and pure Dalmatian gastronomy, the city’s special magic is synonymous with successful events. The activities in the historic city, islands nearby and charming hinterland will compliment your event needs perfectly.
Both within the Old Town walls and beyond, Dubrovnik houses a dozen restaurants selected by Michelin, so an abundance of fine-dining options offers top opportunities for any occasion.
Split
Split – Croatia’s second-largest coastal city – is a dynamic mix of ancient history and contemporary life. Best known for Diocletian’s Palace – one of UNESCO’s most famous sites, Split blends rich historical charm with modern sophistication, making it a standout location for business events with a cultural edge. Split’s easy accessibility, excellent infrastructure and a wide selection of high-end accommodations make it an attractive choice for international business travelers. The recent boom in business tourism means the country’s officially most popular destination is rife with large hotels well-equipped to host conferences and meetings of up to around 1,000 attendees.
Luxury hotels like the Le Méridien Lav and Radisson Blu Resort & Spa provide extensive meeting and event spaces, perfect for both large conferences and intimate corporate gatherings. Split also boasts excellent connections to nearby islands and national parks, providing exciting options for post-meeting excursions. Imagine organizing an island-hopping day trip or taking your group on a tour of Krka National Park, where waterfalls and scenic landscapes offer a refreshing break from the boardroom.
