When you think of Split the first thing that comes to mind is the beautiful historical center and the amazing Diocletian’s palace. But the second thing on your mind is the Adriatic Sea and its beaches. Although Split is the second largest city in Croatia, it has several very accessible city beaches which are all rather private and small in comparison to other famous city beaches on the Mediterranean.

Definitely the most famous and most popular beach in Split is the beach Bacvice, located only a couple of minutes walk from the The View Luxury Rooms.

Bacvice beach is located in a small bay in the central-eastern part of Split, and besides its sandy shore the beach provides many different entertaining options for children and adults alike. There is a children playground just above the beach, as well as cafes, restaurants and clubs.

You can enjoy bathing on the beach during the day, or cool yourself off after a night of clubbing nearby. Other popular beaches in Split are: Trstenik, Znjan, Obojena, Kastelet, Kasjuni and Bene. Trstenik and Znjan are located in the eastern part of the city and you can reach them by foot from the apartment or by a public transport. Both beaches are made of pebble and there are cafes in the vicinity.

Obojena, Kastelet, Kasjuni and Bene are beaches located in the western part of Split, spread beneath the Marjan Hill. Those searching for an amazing view at the Marjan Hill and a bit of wilder beach surroundings should definitely try swimming beneath Marjan at Kasjuni or Bene.

Most beaches have places where you can rent sups, kayaks, jet skis or some other form of aquatic entertainment. Enjoy spending time on a beach in Split carefully, because the sun can be pretty dangerous at 35C in the shade.

Wedding and Honeymoon in Split Croatia. Over the last couple of years Croatia and the city of Split have made a way to the list of top wedding destinations in the world. Partly because of the amazing Mediterranean climate, partly because of the astonishing cultural heritage and historic locations, but also because of the luxury venues that are being built and decorated especially for these joyous occasions. Split has recently made its way to the top, right next to Dubrovnik, Istria and the island of Hvar.

Popular wedding season

Summer is the most popular wedding season, not just for weddings but also for honeymoons somewhere along the Adriatic coast, especially in Split. The newlyweds choose Split and its venues because it has all the beauty of an ancient Mediterranean capital, exuberant natural beauty with the turquoise and crystal clear sea, and excellent traffic connections thanks to an international airport only 30 kilometeres away, as well as ferry lines to all Dalmatian islands.

Planning a wedding or a honeymoon

If you are planning a wedding or a honeymoon in Croatia and you are still wondering where to have your ceremony and party, keep in mind that Split has many amazing waterfront restaurants by the sea and open air venues. The most popular wedding venues and churches are: the Mestrovic gallery, Kastelet, Sustipan, Marjan, Bene, St.Duje cathedral, St.Frane church and many other charming locations perfect for your wedding day. If you still didn’t propose to your significant other, many locations in Split will be the perfect scenery for your romantic moment.

Whether you choose to do it in a restaurant, on hill Marjan, somewhere on the beach; or like our guest in one of The View luxury rooms on a bed of roses, we wish you love and a happy life together!

Split Summer Festival is a theatre, dance and music festival with a long reputation, spanning from the mid 20th century to this day. This year the 63rd edition of the festival takes place, starting from Friday, July 14th till August 14th.
During these 32 days the city of Split turns into a unique stage, providing a magical ancient ambiance for numerous national and international performances – and that’s precisely what makes Split Summer Festival so special. Not only is it one of the most important cultural events in Croatia with a tradition of more than sixty years, but it is also a festival with special open-air events held at unique venues throughout the historical centre of Split. Imagine watching a ballet performance at Sustipan, a popular city park situated on a cliff overlooking the sea; or experiencing the opera Aida by Guiseppe Verdi at Peristil, the central square of the Diocletian’s Palace; or watching a contemporary theatre performance in the ancient Cellars of the Diocletian’s Palace. Yes, it really is as special and impressive as it sounds so it’s no wonder the official motto of the Split Summer Festival is “a summer to remember”.

Split Summer Festival is a great event for everyone, no matter whether you’re a passionate art lover or you’re just looking for something fun to see and do during you stay in Split. There are daily events and premieres in all genres, varying from classical ballet and drama to contemporary street theatre and jazz concerts.
