Hotel Salona Palace ★★★★

Modern day Split and Solin are wonderful contradictions, tangled together in an inextricable jumble. Solin is best known for its history and archaeology with aspects of the archaeological park dating back to 1076. Split, similarly, wears its history with pride, displaying its ancient walls and pristine UNESCO Old Town. However, crammed between the many monuments and museums are bustling restaurants, bars, shops and cafes with tables spilling on to the street. When you add that diverse mix to the rich pine forests backing the hotel and the stunningly clear Adriatic waters in front, the Hotel Salona Palace **** is an irresistible prospect.

The hotel rooms are spacious and attractive with balconies looking out over the garden. Below the balcony, a large outdoor pool soaks up the sun’s rays, while guests swim leisurely laps or drink in the views of the endless Croatian countryside before retreating to the cool shade of the terrace or the lobby bar.

Kašjuni, the beach, is nearby. There, Joe’s Beach and Lounge Bar waits for you with cocktails and plates full of traditional Mediterranean food. The atmosphere is lively with music beating out from the restaurant. For those looking for something more peaceful, the cabana offers massages uninterrupted save from the gentle lap of waves. Back at the hotel, the spa offers saunas, Jacuzzis and a range of massages and treatments. At once energising and restful, just like Split, the Hotel Salona Palace **** walks the delicate line with ease and grace!
