Hvar, Croatia

Hvar, Croatia

A Venetian harbour town that moonlights as the Adriatic's glossiest party island. Afternoons belong to Hula Hula's sunset sessions, nights to Carpe Diem across the water, and the yachts provide the people-watching. It's flashier than the rest of this list — but June and September deliver the same turquoise-and-cocktails formula with softer prices and room to breathe.
