Šolta is a peaceful and unspoilt island in central Dalmatia, lying just south of Split yet worlds away in atmosphere. Green, tranquil and blessed with a deeply indented coastline of hidden coves, it offers an authentic and relaxing retreat close to the mainland but far from the crowds.
The island’s beauty lies in its quiet bays and clear Adriatic water, from the picturesque cove of Maslinica on the west coast to countless sheltered inlets ideal for swimming and anchoring. Olive groves, vineyards and pine woods cloak the gentle hills, producing renowned olive oil and honey.
Šolta’s handful of small villages and harbours offer a genuine taste of traditional Dalmatian life, with welcoming tavernas serving fresh fish and local produce. The pace is slow and the atmosphere authentic, a world of stone houses and unhurried days.
Ashore, walking trails wind through fragrant hills and along the coast, while the vibrant city of Split and the islands of Brač and Hvar lie within easy reach. Its blend of tranquillity and convenience is appealing.
With its hidden coves, clear water and authentic charm, Šolta is a delightful Dalmatian retreat. Guests can anchor in quiet bays, swim in clear Adriatic water and enjoy the unspoilt beauty and traditional life of this peaceful island near Split.
