HVAR, CROATIA
The next St. Tropez? It's in the Adriatic. You can sip a coffee in Hvar Town and watch the yachts pull up, or explore the Roman ruins around the island. Fly into Split, then take the 90-minute ferry to Hvar (pronounced hwar). The three top hotels on the island are all offering a third night free; combine that with the weakened euro and you've got savings of as much as 73 percent. The Riva is for hipsters who want to prowl the clubs (doubles, $200–$316), the Adriana for their elegant parents (doubles, $387–$523). Guests at both properties have access to the private beach at the Hotel Amfora, the best option for families (doubles, $213–$394). Book through: Greg Tepper of Exeter International (800-633-1008; greg@exeterinternational.com).
