Basking in the Adriatic Sea just off the Dalmatian Coast, the island of Brac (or Brač) is a haven for those seeking an exclusive and peaceful luxury villa rental in Croatia. Here, amidst rolling vineyards, olive groves, and quaint villages, you’ll find pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and a rich cultural heritage waiting to be explored.
Brac, the largest of the Dalmatian Islands, is a mere hour’s boat ride from Split and lies north of the sunny Hvar. Its allure lies in its diverse landscapes. Mount Vidova, the highest peak in the Adriatic islands, towers over the island’s heart. Embark on a thrilling hike or bike ride along its scenic trails and be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the shimmering coastline and neighbouring islands. The island’s southern plains are a vibrant carpet of vineyards, their emerald hues contrasting with the deep blue of the sea. Here, you can indulge in wine tastings at local wineries, savouring crisp whites and robust reds.
Brac’s history unfolds in its charming towns and villages. On the north coast, Supetar is the island’s largest town and the main port of entry, with frequent ferries to and from Split. Stroll through its narrow, cobbled streets, lined with picturesque stone houses and bustling harbour cafes. Explore the 18th-century parish church and the remnants of Roman settlements.
Head inland to the medieval town of Škrip, one of the oldest settlements in Croatia. Wander through its maze-like alleys, admire traditional stone houses adorned with colourful flowers, and visit the 10th-century church of St. Mary, a testament to the island’s rich religious heritage.
The livelier Bol on the south coast is home to the iconic Zlatni Rat (“Golden Horn”) Beach, which features a 400-metre fine pebble peninsula jutting out into the turquoise sea. The beach changes shape depending on the wind, tides and currents, creating dramatic and picturesque scenes and adding to its unique beauty. The crystal-clear and calm waters are perfect for swimming, snorkelling, diving and windsurfing, while the lush pine backdrop provides a refreshing break from the sun.
For a truly serene experience, discover hidden coves like Pasjaca, a series of small, intimate beaches fringed with pine trees. Unwind on the soft sand, snorkel in the vibrant underwater world, and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the island.
Brac is more than just a beautiful destination – it’s a place to unwind and reconnect with yourself. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or cultural immersion, the island offers a unique blend of experiences that are sure to leave you feeling rejuvenated. A Brac luxury villa rental is your gateway to all this and more.
