“Chillaxing !” – some of the best places to relax, while sailing out from Split or Dubrovnik

Holidays are supposed to be relaxing. But between the stress of travel itself and the stress of knowing you’re supposed to be having a great time, you often need a holiday after the holiday. Here are some spots in Croatia to help you actually relax on your summer vacation.

Sea, sun and chill a day away…

Laganini Lounge bar & Fish house (Palmizana)

is one of Croatia’s most exclusive holiday destinations, easily accessible via boat transfers from Hvar and located on the beautiful island of St.Clement. To reach Laganini you can dock in ACI Palmižana, or catch the buoy in front of Laganini.

The cocktails in the bar at Laganini evolve with the seasons.

‘Fish house is offering  a diverse selection of fresh seafood dishes ranging from local mouth watering Adriatic tuna to  extraordinary wild Norwegian salmon which are all prepared by  resident award-winning chef Hrvoje Zirojević’.

Bowa (Island Sipan – Dubrovnik)

a unique Sipan island restaurant. Šipan is  the largest of islands near Dubrovnik, with a secret garden of delights for all senses and a small world of its own. BOWA is a mix of inspiration and passion for sea, food and simple Mediterranean lifestyle. The cabanas structure came from what Sipan island could give: fig, pine, oak, cypress and beech trees served the purpose.

Cozy ambience and music. No need to announce your visit for a lunch at the terrace, but call ahead if you will spend a day in tiki-style cabanas. You can book a water transfer service with BOWA directly while booking a table reservation. An intimate oasis, cozy staff, beautiful nature and superb food … This is more than enough for us to visit the Bowa.

Working hours: 11:00 am – 6:00 pm ( please contact: +385 91 636 6111 )

• All places give you a choice how to pay, with credit card or cash (kuna)
• You can sometimes pay for a meal or small services in euros, but the rate is not as good
• So if you like to eat in the best locations you will pay for it, if you on the other hand only are interested in getting some good food, eating out in Croatia is not expensive

And every now and then, take a minute, breathe, relax, remember you’re on holiday and just enjoy the moment, like it was going to last forever.
