Dugi Rat

Dugi Rat, a coastal town on the shoreline just south of Split, is reached through Split Airport, the closest gateway by a comfortable margin. Although it is not far in distance, the trip can still be wearing after a flight, and the seasonal coastal buses are crowded, run to their own timetable and leave you on the main road rather than at your door. A pre-booked private transfer makes the arrival effortless, taking you door-to-door from the terminal straight to your accommodation in Dugi Rat.

Getting to and from Dugi Rat

Split Airport is the nearest airport to Dugi Rat and the natural choice for getting there. With a transfer booked in advance, your driver tracks your flight, meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board, helps with the luggage and brings you to a reserved vehicle. The price is fixed and agreed up front, payable by card, so there are no taxi queues, no bartering and no surprises at the end of the journey.

Its position on the coast south of Split makes Dugi Rat well connected, and the same door-to-door service links it to Split and its old town, to nearby Omiš where the Cetina river meets the sea, to Podstrana and the suburbs closer to the city, and on to the ferry ports and the Makarska Riviera further south. A private car keeps each of these connections quick and stress-free.

About Dugi Rat

Dugi Rat sits on the Central Dalmatian coast just south of Split, a string of seaside settlements spread along the shore between the city and Omiš. It is a coastal suburb in character, more residential and low-key than the big resort towns, which gives it a quiet, everyday Dalmatian feel close to the conveniences of Split. The waterfront looks out across the channel towards the island of Brač.

The town is valued mainly for its calm shoreline location and its proximity to both Split and Omiš, putting beaches, the city and the dramatic Cetina gorge all within easy reach. For visitors who want a peaceful base with the coast on the doorstep and the city close by, Dugi Rat is a practical and pleasant choice.
