Brits looking for solo travel to a sun-soaked destination that’s full of breathtaking beaches and gorgeous views may want to add an underrated Croatian island to their bucket list. 

With its colourful buildings, postcard-worthy marinas and golden beaches, Brac has long been a hit with intrepid explorers who want to take in some of the Adriatic coast’s most beautiful vistas without having to face crowds of tourists. 

The picturesque island looks like something straight out of a storybook with its lush green landscapes, unspoiled beaches and colourful houses that wouldn’t look out of place on the Amalfi Coast. 

Brac is also home to Zlatni Rat, which has been described as “Croatia's most stunning beach” thanks to its white sands and crystal-clear waters that rival the likes of the Maldives and Caribbean. 

The good news is that it just got a lot easier to visit the spectacular island thanks to a brilliant tour from solo travel holiday experts at Just You.

They’ve exclusively chartered a ship for their Croatian Island Explorer tour, with the 8-day itinerary including a chance to explore the highlights Brac has to offer. 

That includes sailing into Milna, home to a beautiful harbour lined with stone houses and plenty of eateries where you can enjoy a bite to eat while watching the boats sail by. 

For solo travellers who love a bit of extra adventure, a hike to the Vidova Gora, the highest peak of all the Adriatic islands, is a must. In fact, you’ll get an opportunity during the holiday to head there so you can take in the stunning vistas while enjoying a glass of sparkling wine. 

Making the most of that breathtaking Croatian coastline, the itinerary involves sailing past secret coves, red-roofed villages and ancient olive groves on the island-hopping cruise. 

Along the way, you’ll get to tick off plenty of those bucket-list-worthy destinations including Krka National Park and its world-famous waterfalls, tours of bustling cities such as Split, Trogir, Zadar and Sibenik, and the beautiful island of Hvar. 

As for the ship? The solo travel experts have chartered two elegant ships; MV Paradis for 2025, and MV Adriatic Pearl for 2026. Both ships host a maximum of 20 people so you’re never fighting for space. Along with fully equipped cabins, you'll be free to enjoy the bar area and lounging sundeck with deckbeds (which are an ideal location from which to take in the gorgeous Adriatic views as you sail down the coast). 

Meanwhile the cabins boast everything you need for a home-away-from-home feel, with amenities including air conditioning, a safe deposit box, hair dryer, cupboard & wardrobe cabinet and daily cabin cleaning.

Prices for the 8-day itinerary start from £3,399 with multiple departure dates between October 2025 and October 2026. Find out more and book at justyou.co.uk/tours/croatian-island-explorer/.
