Hotels in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia

Split-Dalmatia County lies along Croatia's Adriatic coast, famous for the 1,700-year-old Diocletian's Palace in Split and the sun-soaked islands of Brač and Hvar. The Mediterranean climate brings hot summers averaging 86°F (30°C), perfect for swimming at Zlatni Rat beach on Brač or sailing the Pakleni Islands near Hvar Town, while mild winters around 50°F (10°C) let you explore the palace's Roman cellars and hike the Cetina River canyon near Omiš without the peak-season crowds. You can catch a traditional klapa singing performance in the palace's Peristyle in July, or take a ferry to the lavender fields of Hvar in late spring when the weather is just right for island hopping.
