Welcome to Split
Walking the ancient walls of Diocletian's Palace puts you inside a Roman emperor's retirement home, still buzzing with cafes and market stalls. The Dalmatian coast stretches out from here, with the islands of Hvar and Brac a short ferry ride away. Resorts in Split line the Bacvice and Znjan waterfront, giving you a comfortable base between the old town and the Adriatic.

Book in advance
The sooner you book, the better. You're more likely to discover a cheaper price on a resort and have more options to choose from.
...Or bag a last-minute Split resort deal
Prices tend to rise closer to your travel dates. But in quieter periods, late bargains can still be found when resorts have vacant rooms to fill.
Flexible on dates? Say hello to better rates
A little flexibility goes a long way when searching for cheap resorts in Split. Opt for weekdays instead of the weekend, or travel during shoulder season instead of the most popular months.
Go all-inclusive
All-inclusive resorts in Split make things easier by bundling activities, drinks and meals into the room rate. They're perfect if you plan to stay mostly in one place and want predictable daily costs. Check availability for this type of stay when planning your trip.
Show discounted resorts only
Try the 'Only show hotels with discounts' filter to easily find resorts offering price drops or deals. This saves you from digging through full-price listings.
When to visit Split
High and low season in Split
Summer is peak season in Split, with warm, sunny weather drawing large crowds from June through August. The old town and waterfront get busy, and accommodation books up fast, so securing your stay well in advance pays off. If you want the good weather with slightly fewer visitors, the shoulder months of May and September are worth considering.
Visiting Split outside of summer means quieter streets and more breathing room around the historic sites. Prices tend to be lower, and you'll find it easier to book last minute. Some seasonal restaurants and boat services may operate on reduced schedules, so it's good to check ahead before your trip.
Split hosts the Ultra Europe music festival in summer, one of the larger events on the local calendar. The Split Summer Festival also brings theatre, music, and cultural performances to the city across July and August. For a full picture of what's on during your visit, the official Split tourist board website is a reliable starting point.
