Known as the supposed birthplace of Marco Polo, Vela Luka exudes Dalmatian charm. Hike the island’s dramatic landscapes, explore the enormous, stone-age Vela Spila cave, and roam the town’s promenade, featuring the world’s longest mosaic. For a more relaxed visit, guests can bathe in the town’s rich wellness tradition with a rejuvenating mud bath and savour its flavours with local Dalmatian wines and fare.
