A relaxed Split-coast base
Set in Podstrana, The Residence gives you a calm coastal base just outside Split. The beach is just a few steps away, while Split’s Old Town is around eight kilometres from the property, making Diocletian’s Palace, the Riva and ferry links to the islands easy day-trip territory.
The atmosphere is contemporary, peaceful and apartment-like. There's a focus on spacious, self-catering apartments, rather than full resort vibes. Highlights include free Wi-Fi, parking on site, laundry service and attentive staff, while most rooms have direct sea views and private balconies. It's also family-friendly, so it works well for relaxed stays close to the water.
Meals are nicely flexible thanks to the apartment-style set-up, with some accommodation offering kitchen facilities for simple breakfasts and snacks. Podstrana’s beach bars, seafood restaurants and casual cafés are close by, while Split adds Dalmatian konobas, wine bars and harbour-side dining. Beach close, Split nearby and sea-view downtime at base: that’s a well-balanced Croatian stay.
