14:Dalmatian Coast, Croatia

Cruising along this Adriatic ribbon, I hopped between island-dotted coves and centuries-old coastal towns. I devoured oysters in quiet bays and sipped local wines beneath Roman fortresses. Road-trip heaven is salty, sun-drenched, and utterly mesmerizing…

If you’re plotting a Dalmatian Coast road trip, start with Hvar hotels—I once woke to lavender breezes and swore I’d never hit snooze again.
In Dubrovnik, Hotel Bellevue Dubrovnik treats you to clifftop infinity pools, while Villa Dubrovnik spoils you with Adriatic views from every room.
Swing by Split and crash at a Split hotel near Diocletian’s Palace—pizza by ancient walls at midnight? Yes, island-hopping Croatian style is best served with a side of seaside luxury!
