Solta Island Vacation Packages & Tours

Welcome to Solta

Just an hour’s ferry ride from Split, Solta is the kind of island that rewards travelers who’d rather linger over lunch than tick off landmarks. It’s quieter than Hvar, less visited than Brac, and all the better for it. The island’s interior is where it earns its reputation. Solta produces some of Dalmatia’s finest extra-virgin olive oil — pressed from the indigenous Levantinka olive — and a sage honey so distinctive it’s won national awards. The Olynthia estate in Srednje Selo offers tastings straight from the press, and it’s the sort of experience that changes how you think about both ingredients.

The village of Maslinica sits at the western tip of the island, its stone waterfront houses reflected in a small natural harbor where fishing boats outnumber yachts. It’s a good base — and the best place to eat. Further inland, Grohote’s narrow lanes and Renaissance-era churches give a sense of how the island has looked for centuries, largely undisturbed. The beaches are pebble rather than sand, but the water is exceptionally clear — and the lack of large resort development means the coves stay quiet even in summer. For anyone based in Split looking to escape for a day, or travelers who want to slow their pace for a night or two, Solta delivers something the bigger Dalmatian islands can’t: genuine stillness.
