Find Adventure on Dubrovnik Villa Holidays

If you enjoy taking a break that allows you to try something new or indulge in existing adventurous passions then a visit to Croatia is for you. With a wide range of villa holidays available in the country, it can be difficult to choose between its scenic and exciting destinations, however, for water sports fans Dubrovnik stands out. By booking a Dubrovnik villa, you will gain access to the Adriatic Sea and a whole host of exciting activities both above and below the waves.

Sailing tops the list when it comes to water-based pastimes in the area. With plenty of islands to explore each day, you will find sailing in the Adriatic will show you a different side to Croatia's coast. Whether you've got your sea legs or are still a bit of a landlubber, there will be a sailing excursion for you. You can hire a boat complete with crew to help you get to grips with the activity or you can opt to charter a boat and head off on your own to explore exactly where you please.

Mljet Island is located in the southern Adriatic and is a designated national park, guaranteeing any sailors a peaceful and beautiful place to visit. This location is also the ideal place to try your hand at scuba diving if you are intrigued by the world that lies beneath the waves.

As a protected area, the waters around Mljet Island boast some rare wildlife not frequently seen elsewhere in the Adriatic. Dive operators in this part of the region must be fully licensed though - so make sure that you check before heading out on an excursion.

Other attractions for divers include ship wrecks and walls featuring bright red corals, as well as the region's famously clear water. An alternative way to interact with the marine life is by taking a fishing excursion while staying in a villa in Dubrovnik.

The deep waters of the Adriatic are home to some of the world's most impressive big game fish, such as tuna, swordfish and amberjack. Hop on a boat and head out for the day and you could be lucky enough to catch one of these impressive sea creatures with your rod and reel.

If after trying your hand at sailing, diving and fishing you are still in need of further exhilaration, then why not consider kayaking? Or if you want something land-based then you could always strap on your walking boots and head for the hills to hike through some of Dubrovnik's picturesque countryside.
