Cycle spectacular coastal routes on the mainland and islands of Hvar and Korčula, ending in the historic town of Dubrovnik
We have a trio of bases for this cycling adventure in Croatia: the islands of Hvar and Korcula, plus the seaside city of Dubrovnik. In each, we have chosen hotels that are close to the beach and are ideally placed for our cycling.
Below are the hotels we typically use:
Hvar, near Vrboska: Aminess Younique Senses Resort (nights 1-2)
Spend our first two nights at Aminess Younique Senses Resort, just 165ft (50m) from the sea. It’s an excellent spot to ease ourselves into the trip, with a sunbathing terrace, reading corner and mini gym/fitness room. Most of your free time, however, will likely be spent either on the hotel beach (where there are deckchairs) or the pool.
Korcula: Marko Polo/Port9/Liburna (nights 3-5)
In Korcula, we use a selection of accommodations from the Aminess group, including the Marko Polo, Liburna and Port9 (above) hotels. Expect a comfortable stay with plenty of amenities and options for exploration nearby.
Dubrovnik: Hotel Vis/Hotel Komodor (nights 6-7)
Our final nights are spent at either Hotel Vis (above) or Hotel Komodor, both three-star beachside properties. The 151-room Vis hotel, sandwiched between pine trees and the Adriatic, has a rooftop terrace, bar, and a seaside restaurant serving local and international cuisines. The Komodor has 113 rooms, which are split between the main building and an annex. The seaside promenade is just a five-minute walk away and there’s a pool at the hotel.
Worth knowing
During the low season, some hotels close their pools. However, the sea is never far away when you would like a swim.
Some hotels we use don’t have lifts.
If you opt for the single supplement, please note that in some hotels, this may mean having a single bed, rather than double. If you would like to upgrade to a double-bedded room this is subject to availability at an extra charge.
