At HoneymoonXperts, we believe the most sensual honeymoons are those where every dish feels like poetry, every sunset tastes of wine, and every moment invites connection. This Croatian gourmet escape leads you through truffle-laden hills, sunbaked islands, and ancient towns where love is savored at every table.

Journey of Taste & Togetherness
Begin your honeymoon in Istria, where rolling vineyards and olive groves hide village roads lined with sunshine. You’ll truffle-hunt with locals, dine beneath open skies at family-run estates, and let the aroma of fresh truffles and oak wine linger in your senses. Evenings here belong to you: candlelit dinners, vineyard views, whispers among grapevines.
Hills of Istria & Truffle Trails
Lakes & Waterfalls: Natural Beauty & Hidden Reflections
From Istria you travel inland to Plitvice Lakes—a tapestry of waterfalls, forest paths, wooden walkways, and hidden ponds. Your private guide leads you away from crowds, into secluded spots where the mirrored lakes reflect only the sky and your joined shadows. It’s beauty that grounds you, softens pace, and deepens closeness.
Seaside Cuisine & Coastal Stars
Shift toward the Dalmatian coast—Zadar, Split and beyond. Taste fresh oysters by the shore, sample fragrant cheeses on Pag Island, share seafood feasts under pergolas heavy with flowering vines. On Korčula and Pelješac, secluded bays and gentle sea breezes frame meals that feel celebratory, intimate, timeless.
Dubrovnik: Ancient Walls, Soft Nights
Your final nights are in Dubrovnik, perched above the Adriatic. Walk ancient city walls at dusk, let the golden light fall on terracotta roofs, dine on terraces overlooking the sea. A cooking lesson with a local family, shared laughter, seafood that melts on your tongue—and nights spent under stars you’ll carry home.
