Croatian Islands, Croatia In recent years, it is rumoured that celebrities & royalty alike have docked their luxury yachts and dropped anchor in the newest IT shores that make up the Croatian Islands in the Adriatic Sea. Deemed to have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, the islands of Croatia along the Dalmatian Coast are garnering small but steady world-wide attention. The pristine coastline and centuries-old islands, such as Hvar, are earning the name of the new Riviera. Packed with the young, the beautiful, and the rich, get ready to hear more about this newest hot spot in years to come.
Stargazing: Prince William, Tom Cruise, Ralph Lauren, Paris Hilton, and Norah Jones are amongst some of the first to celebs to visit the islands. Summer 2008 promises more A-listers to get in on the action.
Stay: On the super-trendy island of Hvar, it’s newest luxury hotel, Adriana Hvar Marina Hotel & Spa, is perched on the promenade facing the beautiful old city centre – and in the hub of all the action. With a roof-top sea salt pool and a built-in Sensorí Spa (recently named on the Leading Spas of the world), this luxury boutique hotel will surely be attracting the well-heeled this summer. Book early to secure a stay.
Do: A night of dancing is called for on the party-island of Hvar. After dinner at Macondo or Yaksa (known for their excellent seafood and yachting crowds) VIP’s gather at key spot Carpe Diem on the harbour for a night of dancing and plenty of socializing. Drop by during the day to put your name on the guest list. Rumour has it that it gets very busy, very early. If your night calls for an avant-dancing cocktail, head to the beach bar Hula Hula – one of the only spots on the island where you can get a clear view of the orange sunset over the Adriatic sea. Ahhh.
