So far, it has worked great for smaller groups of friends, from 8 to 12 people. Moreover, this itinerary for a holiday on the island of Brac is flexible enough to adapt to families with children or to two families holidaying together. Furthermore, it can serve for planning a luxury honeymoon in Croatia.
Overview of a 7-Day Brac Itinerary

The first day of your vacation is all about a stress-free and smooth transition from your everyday life to vacation mode, including pleasant traveling to your holiday destination. In this case, this is the beautiful island of Brac in Croatia.
To maximize your precious vacation time, we recommend flying to Split Airport (SPU) and booking a direct speedboat transfer from Split Airport to your holiday villa. This way you will not need to worry about ferry schedules, taxi companies, or taking over the rental car and driving yourself.

On the speedboat, refreshment drinks are waiting for you. You can start enjoying the cruise towards Brac Island and your holiday villa.
Booking transfers and other services are easy with the VIP Concierge Team. Moreover, each Brac luxury villa has a dedicated villa manager who will arrange any detail or wish on site. Enjoying 24/7 support from your personal concierge agent, you can stop thinking and start enjoying!

So, we sorted how you will get from the airport to the villa. Now, what is next?
Upon arrival, the villa manager will welcome you and treat you to some welcome drinks and finger food. Here comes a pleasant and quick check-in procedure. The villa manager will walk you through the villa, and explain everything important including basic orientation in the local area.
The villa manager in most cases will be available by phone or messenger app or in-person every day during your stay and will help with anything you may need.
Your concierge agent will get in touch before your arrival. They will ask if you'd like the house to be stocked with groceries and food. We recommend using this service and sending the shopping list upfront.

So after you get the keys and check-in, it is time for quick unpacking, changing into the bathing suit and swimming in the pool, or hitting the beach near the villa. While you soak up the sun before the sunset and drink cocktails, the private chef and his team will be preparing a delicious dinner for you.
After the dinner is finished and your bellies are full and happy, you can stay and hang out at the villa enjoying some more drinks and admiring the starry sky. Alternatively, a private driver will take you to the club where you can enjoy the nightlife.

Sutivan, Brac Island
If you are a group of couples, friends, or two families together, you can choose to do some things together and some of the things independently.
So, if some of the group enjoy morning jogging, bike riding, or walking around the seaside village, one can take the time alone while the rest enjoy other activities.
Stand up paddling
For the ones who choose the "Explore Day" option, we recommend taking the island Brac tour with a private driver.
Milna, Brac Island
The Brac tour includes visits to some of the less touristy villages around the island, popular landmarks such as Zlatni Rat Beach - The Golden Cape Beach, and enjoying tasty local food.
Blaca Monastery, Brac Island

Luxury Yacht for a Daily Cruise from Brac Island to Hvar Town and The Paklinski Islands Archipelago
Our Concierge team will find the boat and arrange all the tour details with you and the crew. The yacht can pick you up in front of the villa so you can start your journey right after breakfast. Or even better, you can skip breakfast at the villa and have it on a private yacht.

On day 4, in the middle of the stay, we would love you to visit some stunning secluded bays of Brac Island.

- Breakfast at the villa
- Island hopping tour
- Chef's dinner at the villa
On day 5 we would love you to take another island hopping tour.
Blue Cave, Bisevo Islet near Vis Island
Our recommendation number one is a private speedboat tour to the island of Vis and to the Blue Cave.
The distance from Brac Island is approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes, depending on the starting point. Thus we recommend speedboats instead of yachts for this tour.
Entrance to Green Cave
If you prefer yachts instead of speedboats, the best option would be the Three Islands Tour, including visits to Blue Lagoon on the island of Drvenik Veli, stops in Maslinica Bay on Solta island, and a visit to lounge bars on the island of Ciovo.
DAY 6: Activity or Chill Out Day
- Breakfast at the villa
- Free Day
- Chef's dinner at the villa
As your week's stay on Brac Island passes by, we are sure you will get some ideas on what to do or which place to visit on your own.
Since there are many things out there to explore, visit, or do activities to take part in, we would love to leave this day to your free will.
Since you will be staying at a wonderful luxury villa on Brac Island, it would definitely be great to enjoy some of its amenities to the fullest.
We recommend combining the time at the villa with some of the activities around the island, some adrenaline activities, or even hopping to the mainland.
Small Rental Speedboat
So, we have several different activities in mind you could want to do on a day before departure. Most of the activities can easily get booked on short notice. But, if you already know you would like to do one additional day on a boat or on a yacht, we recommend booking it upfront, especially in high season. The best boat rentals and best yacht rental options easily get sold out so it is better to be safe than sorry.
DAY 7: Departure Day - Goodbye Until Next Time
- Breakfast at the villa
- Check-out and departure transfer
Before checking out the villa and heading to the airport, have a delicious breakfast at the villa. Enjoy the coffee with a sea view before the time to leave comes.
Breakfast in the shade of pine trees and with a sea view
For departure, we recommend a scheduled private speedboat transfer directly from your villa on Brac to Split Airport.
If your outgoing flight is in the late afternoon or evening hours, here comes the opportunity to enjoy it even more. You can have a speedboat with a skipper booked for a couple of more hours and make the stops for visits to Trogir Old Town or Split City Center.
I hope our 7-day itinerary for a villa vacation on Brac Island in Croatia will inspire you to spend your holiday on this marvelous island.
