The Isolano, Cres, Autograph Collection, Cres, Croatia

Cres is a jewel cast amidst Croatia’s Adriatic Sea, where rugged landscapes and timeless villages set a wholesome holidaymaker’s scene. You’ll be staying in Cres town, with the striking 16th century Venetian tower just steps away. Sample local olive oil and sheep’s cheese, and watch the sunset paint the pretty harbour gold.

You’ll have a handful of lovely, nature-fringed beaches to choose from, and you’re in a great area for water sports, be that paddle boarding and kayaking, or hiring a boat to explore the coastline. If you’re itching to explore the island’s gorgeous terrain, then you’re perfectly placed to follow walking trails through pine-scented forests and rolling hills, some leading to hidden coves with waters as clear as glass.
