The Best Airbnbs in Dubrovnik, Croatia's Medieval Walled City
Aptly nicknamed the 'Pearl of the Adriatic,' Dubrovnik is a coastal city break like no other, and the selection of extraordinary Airbnbs invites guests to truly absorb its magical, medieval atmosphere. Plenty of destinations have pleasing Old Towns, but few can top this screen-worthy, walled city in Croatia, encircled by imposing stone forts, perfectly preserved bridges, and lots of crystal-clear water. Eagle-eyed viewers of Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon can also go treasure hunting for familiar architecture from the hit franchise, and the uncanny resemblance on and off the screen proves that movie magic need not touch up the glorious scenery here. Beyond the Old Town walls, distinctive terracotta roofs tumble down sloping hills until they reach the rocky shores, embedded with cool cliffside bars and lots of diving spots, and the pebbly, pristine coastline further along has some of the best beaches in Croatia.

The Best Beaches in Croatia Are Blissfully Wild
The very mention of a European beach vacation tends to evoke spritz-soaked Positano, sleepy Greek fishing villages, and the rocky coastlines of the Algarve. But Croatia—by no means under the radar—is a seaside destination that deserves even more recognition, particularly when it comes to the best beaches in Croatia. 'The maze of over 1,200 islands and rocks makes the coast and beaches truly unique,' Secret Dalmatia founder and owner Alan Mandić says. 'The Croatian Adriatic sea is also one of the clearest seas of Europe,' he adds. One of the key distinguishing factors of Croatian beaches is that they are often pebbled or rocky. While this might require a pair of swim shoes, Adriatic Luxury Hotels' Barbara Krilanovic notes it helps maintain the famously clear turquoise water compared to sandy beaches. 'Croatia's beaches are known for their clarity, dramatic settings, and a sense of authenticity that's becoming harder to find in Europe,' she says. The country stretches along the eastern edge of the Adriatic Sea, with a long, jagged coastline dotted with over a thousand islands. From the historic beaches of Dubrovnik to the hidden coves of Dugi Otok and Vis, there's much to be discovered. Ahead, 13 breathtaking beaches to plan your next Croatian getaway around. Key Takeaways AccordionItemContainerButton LargeChevron Croatia has over 1,200 islands and a long Adriatic coastline stretching over a thousand miles. There are hundreds of beaches in the country, offering a mix of sandy, pebble, and rocky shorelines. Sveti Jakov, Dubrovnik, Dalmatia
