Walls, sea and a private island — the most romantic city on the coast.
Two coastlines of walled cities, wine-terraced islands and hidden coves, all close enough to weave into a single seamless journey by water.
When to go
Late May through September, when the Adriatic is warm, the light is long and the islands are at their most alive before the autumn quiet returns. Your advisor times it to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.
The experiences
A sense of what this journey can hold — each one arranged privately and shaped to you:
- Have the ramparts to yourselves at first light, the sea below still and silver.
- Sail to a private island for a lunch laid only for two beneath the pines.
- Anchor in a hidden cove for an afternoon swim with no other soul in sight.
- Dine on a candlelit terrace above the walls as the old town glows below.
A sense of the rhythm
There is a reason this is called the most romantic city on the coast. Your days move gently between the honeyed stone of the old town and the blue of the sea, with long, unhurried afternoons and nothing that must be done. The pace is yours to set; we simply make sure the finest moments feel effortless and entirely private.
In the old town or on a quiet island?
The walled city wraps you in marble streets and evening romance, steps from every terrace. A retreat on Lopud or Lokrum trades that for stillness, a private cove and the sea as your only company. Many couples we advise take both, opening in the city and closing on an island where the world falls quiet.
How to do it well
The counsel our advisors give travelers planning this journey:
- Ask for a room facing the sea; the light on the water at dawn is the memory you keep.
- Reserve a private boat for one full day and let the coves decide your route.
- The finest terraces above the harbour seat few; book the sunset table early.
- Keep one evening entirely open for a dinner arranged wherever the light is best that night.
What only your advisor can open
The difference between a good trip and an unrepeatable one is access — and access is a relationship, not a booking. Every guide, room and moment is chosen and sequenced for you.
Who it's for
Travelers who value privacy, time and doing it once — beautifully — and who would rather have one trusted advisor orchestrate every detail than assemble it themselves.
Estimated investment
From US$10,500 per traveler, based on double occupancy — scaled to your dates, party size and level of privacy. A starting point, not a final quote; confirmed once your advisor tailors the itinerary.
Designed entirely around you
Nothing here is a package. A Forest Travel advisor shapes the whole journey and stays one message away before and throughout your trip.
