With beautifully furnished terraces on the upper levels, there will always be a spot to enjoy some time away from the group and enjoy the superb setting of Villa Ilex.
With local amenities within 1-2km, the villa is just a 20-minute drive from Split, a vibrant city that has it all – including the chance to go island-hopping or venture into the wonderful Marjan Forest.Split rivals many capitals when it comes to historic and cultural must-sees. With Diocletian’s Palace, Saint Domnius’ Cathedral, and a wealth of beautiful squares and buildings, its attractions can more than hold their own. Add in the glamour of the Riva waterfront and the breathtaking beauty of the Marjan Hills, and you’ve got a winning combination.
Perched on the Adriatic, Split boasts beautiful sunsets, exciting cuisine, great art and tons of history. The Split Gallery of Fine Arts, Archaeological Museum and the Mestrovic Gallery, showcasing the work of the country’s greatest sculptor, are among its cultural big-hitters, while various other museums add fun and interactivity – the Museum of the Senses certainly delivers on its promise.
With fragrant pine forests and botanical gardens, the expansive spaces of Marjan Forest Park are another great reason to visit, forming the ‘green lung’ of the city, while tours to the waterfalls of Krka are also justly popular. The Roman ruins of Diocletian’s Palace are perhaps Split’s best-known attraction, with guided walking tours of this and various other Split landmarks a great way to immerse yourself in its history. Look out too for Republic Square, site of regular cultural events, and Split’s main beach, Bacvice, where the famous local ball game, Picigin, is a popular pursuit (it takes place in the sea).
Within a 30-minute drive of Split are more pretty coastal stops, like Stobreč, Jesenice and Podstrana. Look out for the wooden ships at Jesenice, which can take you on a pleasurable journey, perhaps towards nearby Omiš or the island of Brač. If you make it to Omiš, just a little further, you’ll be in the adrenaline sports capital of the area, with a spectacular zip-wire across the River Cetina providing just one of the town’s unforgettable adventures.
