What are the top neighborhood areas in Split for a luxury vacation?
Over the past few years, Split has established itself as one of the best Mediterranean destinations for luxury holidays. Events like Ultra Music Festival and the filming of Game of Thrones contributed a lot to this. For those seeking the epitome of luxury, several neighborhoods near Split stand out: Podstrana, Kastela, Solin, and Klis.
Podstrana
Podstrana is a tiny tourist village with pebble beaches near Split (8 km) and is situated between the Mutogras and Zrnovica rivers. In addition to its wine, olive trees, and cultural legacy, the town is well known for its delicious food and stunning beaches. In Split Riviera, it is one of the top spots for luxury villa rentals. It’s known for its upscale homes with many high-end features. See our collection of villas in Podstrana here.
Kastela
Situated between Split and Trogir in Central Dalmatia, Kasela is a town comprising seven connected settlements-Sucurac, Gomilica, Kambelovac, Luksić, Stari, Novi, and Stafilic. Fun fact: "Game of Thrones" used the Kastilac Fortress in Kastel Gomilica as the setting for the city of Braavos. It’s a peaceful and luxurious place to stay, but still close to the lively center of Split. You can see our offerings here.
Solin
Salona, the former capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia, was the site of the city's development. You can still visit ancient ruins near Solin. The ruins of the Solin Amphitheatre are a must-see. This area is a great choice if you want a quiet and exclusive place to relax. And we have a villa here, too.

Depending on the season, the fortress's hours of operation change. It is a very popular place to visit, especially if you're a "Game of Thrones" fan.
