Luxury Family Trips to Croatia made for you
Inspired, bespoke, luxurious and private family trips to Croatia
Experience spectacular scenery, bustling cities and some of Europe's best beaches in a luxury Croatia family vacation.
Famous for its 1,246 islands, the “pearl of the Adriatic” Dubrovnik, spectacular scenery, roman structures and bustling cities, Croatia is the perfect destination for a luxury family vacation.
With extensive experience in planning family trips to Croatia, Jacada’s expert travel designers know the best luxury accommodation and can provide a private itinerary tailored to each family member’s unique interests.
Croatia is a vast outdoor playground with enough islands, beaches, national parks and countryside to keep even the most active family entertained. Couple that with charming cities filled with beautiful palaces and bustling seafronts, and you’ve got a wonderful place to escape to for some quality family time together.
Whether you want to explore the olive groves in Hvar, cycle through the countryside of Korčula, or seek out hidden coves in which to snorkel and swim, Croatia can offer it all. Private boat charters make it easy to hop between the islands, and are a great way to explore the quieter stretches of water.
It’s not all beaches, however, and there are ample opportunities for rafting, ziplining and even taking sword and archery lessons at an abandoned fortress. National parks such as Plitvice and Krka are filled with crashing waterfalls and turquoise lakes, whilst the cities of Dubrovnik and Split are perfect for strolling, getting a healthy dose of history and culture, and enjoying relaxed family meals in bustling local restaurants.

However, the winter months of November to March can make for breath-taking scenery.
