Croatia
In the Adriatic, cities rise from rock, coastlines carve bold arcs into the sea, and the water flashes like glass beneath the sun. This exclusive Footprint journey begins in Dubrovnik, where ancient walls meet the crash of waves and every corner reveals a new perspective. It moves through Mostar and island-dotted bays, into Montenegro’s dramatic terrain, where monasteries perch above gorges and old towns burst to life with colour and sound.
What makes this a Footprint gem is how little of it is left to chance. Every stay is personally selected, every boat and border crossing arranged to match your pace. You’ll experience the Adriatic in a way that’s immersive and full of momentum, with days shaped by instinct, insight, and the kind of access that takes years to refine.
Completely customisable for you
Arrive in Dubrovnik and take your time. Walk the tangled streets, trace your fingers along centuries-old stone, and browse markets scented with lavender and citrus. Explore the city’s hidden layers with a local guide, then drift into sunset on a private boat as the sky colours the sea. From mountaintop cable views to the oldest pharmacy in Europe, every detail here balances grandeur with intimacy
Visit Mostar, where cultures and eras converge. The Old Bridge arches over the Neretva River like a held breath. In its shadow, mosques, Orthodox churches, and Ottoman houses layer memory upon memory. Or set out for Korcula, where cobbled streets lead to wine, oysters, and Marco Polo legends. Along the Pelješac Peninsula, taste reds where the vines tilt toward the sea.
Cross into Montenegro and begin again. In Herceg Novi, fortresses open to the sea and promenades echo with stories. Tivat brings elegance—marinas lined with yachts and magnolia trees, Renaissance mansions and shaded parks. Along the way, we arrange private visits to family-run vineyards or places of unexpected calm, like a monastery garden above the coast.
In Kotor, you don’t just explore and you absorb. From cathedrals to cafes, the old town invites pause. A private boat takes you across Boka Bay to the Blue Grotto, where sunlight refracts in colours you don’t quite have words for. Step onto the island of Our Lady of the Rocks, built stone by stone from sailors’ thanks
Budva’s walled town folds time in on itself. Stroll past citadels and sun-soaked squares, then sink your feet into Mogren Beach. Up in Cetinje, history shifts gear: once a royal capital, now a quiet town of monasteries and museums. Mount Lovćen opens the landscape wide—forest paths, lookouts above the bay, and sky that seems closer than usual.
Lake Skadar stretches between countries, mirror-like and edged with reeds. Explore by boat, swim in deep water, then head into the village of Godinje where wine and history are poured with equal ease. Visit ancient churches and walk paths worn by centuries. If you’re feeling curious, detour to Ulcinj’s mosques and long beaches near the Albanian border.
Ostrog Monastery doesn’t announce itself until you’re beneath it—carved straight into the cliff, filled with centuries of pilgrimage and candlelight. Inside, frescos bleed into stone. Outside, the view drops away into nothing but valley and sky. The stillness lingers, whether you believe or simply feel.
Sail to Mamula Island, once a fortress, then a prison, now a relic. Its weight is quiet but palpable. The sea around it is crystalline. Stop at the Blue Cave, accessible only by boat, and swim in light-tinted waters that feel like they don’t belong to this world. These are places where history isn’t polished—it’s raw, powerful, and present.
There’s something about stays that make you want to linger. With Footprint, you can stay at a London townhouse where the city runs just beyond your window. A lodge in the Scottish Highlands where the fireplace is always lit. A suite in New York where room service feels like a restaurant reservation. The right stay isn’t just where you rest— it’s where the experience begins.
