Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast has something for everyone, and our clients love to combine time spent in unique luxurious properties with fun and adventures along the way. One of our favourite properties is Martinis Marchi, on the rural island of Šolta. Arriving on a private speedboat to the hotel’s marina adds to the magic of this location. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind as part of a wider tour. Sampling the local olive oil and wine produced on the island is a must, and having lunch with a local beekeeping family is a lovely highlight.
The team at Martinis Marchi are super attentive and local dishes are enjoyed at the hotel’s Michelin- Recommended restaurant. There are some lovely local restaurants to enjoy in the area too.
