Croatia is the ultimate paradise. From its sparkling seas and white sandy beaches to its charming rural towns, you can't help but fall in love with the place. Or fall deeper in love with your special someone when you're here. When you and your partner go to destinations like Vis Island, Split, and Dalmatia, there's no doubt that romance will fill the air. These are the best place to spend your honeymoon or any other romantic getaway. They're not the most romantic destinations in Croatia for nothing! They all have a certain magic to them that will inspire you to love.
Rab Island
Let's start this list with the islands. First up is Rab Island, a beautiful oasis of old-world charms and Mediterranean beauty. When you get here, you won't be sure if you're still in the 21st century or if you traveled back in time. Sure, the island has things like wifi, convenience stores, and the like, but for the most part, this Croatian destination is all about the rustic countryside. It even has a fairytale-like look when you see it from afar. The Medieval structure of the island is just so fascinating!

Korčula Island
Korčula Island is another underrated gem in the Adriatic Sea. Right off the bat, you'll notice the great stone fortresses that border the island. You can just imagine what sorts of stories these amazing relics could tell. Then when you get further into the island, you'll be charmed by their provincial way of life. Even though it's as lively as ever, it's not as fast-paced as the bigger cities in Croatia. Here, you can just relax, explore its old-world wonders, enjoy the incredible views, and of course, swim in its many pristine beaches. Imagine getting a
luxury villa here! You would never want to leave!

Vis Island
Having served as a former military base, Vis Island used to be closed to the public. And because of this, the area hasn't suffered too much human interference over the years. You know what that means, right? Many of the natural wonders here remain largely untouched. From sunny Stiniva Beach to the other-worldly Blue Cave, you and your partner have no idea just how magical this place is. And if you run a
travel inspo Instagram account, get ready for your follower count to double or even triple! The sights you'll see here are extraordinary, to say the least!

Lošinj
You probably haven't heard about Lošinj yet but if you plan on going on a honeymoon anytime soon, you should know about it! Lošinj is a beautiful island located in the northern Adriatic Sea. It has everything you'd expect in a romantic destination in Croatia. There's an Old Town with cobbled streets and a charming rural atmosphere. A scenic dock where fishing boats and luxury yachts all lined up. And there's even a wealth of white sandy beaches and hidden coves here too. Whether you're both into the idyllic Mediterranean lifestyle or adventurers who want to explore Mother Nature, there's a lot to look forward to here in Lošinj.

Rovinj
A peaceful community, narrow streets lined with centuries-old homes, and a scenic dock where the sun shines down all day long. What more could you ask for in a romantic destination in Croatia? Rovinj is an idyllic port town on the west coast of the Istrian peninsula. The scene here can get pretty busy at times, but for the most part, it's a quiet and serene commune. And the way the entire place leads up to the hilltop church of St. Euphemia makes it all feel like you're in a storybook. Or even a
Disney film!

Split
Far from the provincial paradises of the Croatian islands mentioned so far, Split is a very bustling city. It's the country's second-largest city, home to over 100,000 people. But don't let that stop you from checking this place out. Sure, there might be more tourists here compared to the other Croatian destinations on this list, but there's a reason why this place is so popular. For one, it's a beautiful metropolis. You and your significant other can spend an entire day just basking in the glory of Split's various architectural marvels. Or another option is to spend your day on a yacht. You can relax here as you would in places like the
French Riviera!

Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is another well-known city in Croatia that can also be quite a romantic destination. It can get pretty hectic at times, sure, but that doesn't mean that any honeymooning couple won't enjoy their time here. You simply have to look for the best spots yourself. The maze-like metropolis is perfect for stumbling upon hidden corners for a romantic rendezvous. You also can't miss the numerous Medieval, Renaissance, and Gothic structures here. Preserved for many centuries, they're the reason why the entire city is one big World Heritage Site. And of course, you can end the day without watching the sunset from a paradisical coast.

Zagreb
Yes, you read that right! Zagreb, the capital city, is one of the most romantic destinations in Croatia. It's pretty surprising considering how busy this place can get. It's the seat of government and a bustling business hub, after all. Both aren't exactly the usual qualities of a romantic city. But when you actually spend time here, you'll realize that this place really does have many things to offer for couples. There's the Old Town district, the beautiful gardens, the postcard-perfect coasts, and a great nightlife scene to boot.
Spend one day in Zagreb you'll eventually fall in love with the place yourself!
