As evening falls, enjoy a romantic stroll along the waterfront, encountering the lull of the Sea Organ and a light show of the Sun Salutation for a special ending to a special day.

KAYAKING TOURS

If you’re looking for a more active stay, there’s plenty of options available, none more lively than kayaking tours along the coastline.

With experienced guides leading the way, you can relax and take in the natural beauty of Dalmatia, focused on creating unforgettable memories together.
