Whether you are planning a proposal, wedding, honeymoon, anniversary or other special event there are so many romantic locations in Croatia to choose from. I have personal, first hand experience regarding this topic because my wedding and honeymoon to my Croatian husband was in Croatia. Featuring the best dramatic landscapes, luxurious accommodations and other once in a lifetime spots sure to leave your partner awestruck.
Igor and I had a small wedding with close family and friends in Crikvenica at a lovely restaurant and bar on the beach, called Sabbia. Serving authentic Croatian food and drink and live traditional Croatian music by Igor's brother and singing group, Klapa Tić, it was a forever, memorable experience. For our honeymoon, we traveled on his motorcycle to the islands of Krk, Cres and Lošinj. With so much coastline in Croatia it is easy to find a location on the beach for your special moment.

Whether you are looking for a restaurant, accommodations, winery or other one of a kind location, there are plenty of romantic locations to choose from. Say "I DO!" to love in north coast Croatia.
Many have been to the southern coastal part of the country, like Dubrovnik to take a "Game of Thrones Tour", visited the city of Split as one of their cruise itinerary ports, or stopped off at one of the islands, like Korčula, Hvar and Brač, but most have not seen the north coast regions of Croatia and we highly recommend you do.
Whether it's your first time traveling to the country or just the next time you're here wanting a more authentic, less touristy experience. Europeans have been vacationing at this hidden gem for decades but others seem to completely overlook it. Come see for yourself what makes the north coast so special.
