Split: An Inspiring Destination for Kickoffs, Conferences, and Group Trips
Split is an incredible place that brings together everything you could want in an inspiring destination, whether for a kickoff, conference, or group trip. Located on Croatia’s stunning Adriatic coast, Split offers a unique blend of culture, history, culinary experiences, and natural wonders. Its charming alleyways, iconic buildings, and breathtaking surroundings make it a place where people come together to connect and be inspired. Just offshore, the Adriatic islands offer endless opportunities for excursions, perfect for creating unforgettable memories together.
A Journey Through History
Split is a city where history and the present meet in a truly unique way. The city is built around Diocletian’s Palace, one of the world’s best-preserved Roman palaces, which remains a vibrant hub today. Constructed in the 4th century, Diocletian’s Palace has survived wars, conflicts, and the passage of time, standing as a symbol of Split’s rich history. This magnificent structure is not just a tourist attraction but a living space filled with cafés, shops, restaurants, and small taverns that bring the corridors to life with enticing aromas and activity. A guided tour of Split and Diocletian’s Palace is a must for any visitor.
Strolling through the narrow streets and open squares of the old palace feels like traveling through centuries. You’ll enjoy stunning views, learn about Roman architecture, and gain a sense of the local culture. Saint Domnius Cathedral’s bell tower offers a spectacular view over Split and the Adriatic Sea, providing a unique perspective on the city and its surroundings. The old town’s atmosphere is ideal for team-building activities, city walks, or simply recharging for the next meeting.
Kickoffs and Conferences in an Inspiring Setting
Split has become a popular destination for kickoffs and conferences, thanks to its location, history, and modern facilities. Here, there’s something for everyone—from classic conference hotels with sea views to historic buildings equipped with state-of-the-art technology.

Culinary Experiences: A Journey for the Taste Buds
Split is not only a place for historical experiences but also a culinary adventure. The local Croatian cuisine is influenced by Roman, Greek, and Venetian traditions, reflected in both ingredients and flavors. Dining in Split is about savoring the sea and the land, capturing everything from fresh seafood and fish to vegetables, meats, and herbs from the Croatian landscape.
For an authentic dining experience, try the konoba restaurants, small taverns serving traditional Croatian dishes. Here, you’ll find delicacies such as pašticada, a slow-cooked meat stew served with gnocchi, and peka, a dish cooked under a bell with potatoes, lamb, and herbs. These dishes are perfect for group dinners, allowing everyone to enjoy the food together while learning more about the local culinary culture. Popular spots like Konoba Marjan and Konoba Matejuška are excellent choices for a genuine Dalmatian meal.
For a modern twist, restaurants like Bokeria and Zoi blend traditional flavors with modern techniques and influences. Here, you can dine in an elegant setting with views of the sea while trying new flavors that will surprise and delight.
Enjoy Split’s Beaches and Coastal Life
One of Split’s biggest advantages is its proximity to the sea. The city offers beautiful beaches and a stunning coastline perfect for water activities. After a day of meetings or exploring, head to Bačvice Beach, known for its soft sand and calm waters, ideal for swimming, sunbathing, or simply relaxing in the sun with colleagues.
For those interested in water activities, there are plenty of options—from kayaking and snorkeling to sailing. A catamaran tour on the Adriatic is a popular group activity, offering a unique perspective on Split and the beautiful Adriatic coast. You can also rent bikes to explore the coastal area, stop for a refreshing swim or ice cream, and continue to your next destination. If you have a motorcycle license, there are also options to rent motorbikes and explore the surrounding areas..
Excursions to the Islands: Gems of the Adriatic Sea
A group trip to Split wouldn’t be complete without a visit to one of the nearby islands. Brač, Hvar, and Šolta are just a short boat ride away, each offering a unique experience. Brač is famous for its stunning Zlatni Rat beach, often regarded as one of Croatia’s best beaches. Here, you can swim, sunbathe, and enjoy the white sand, or take a hike to explore the island’s picturesque villages.
Hvar is another popular island, offering both history and vibrant nightlife. Its quaint restaurants, charming alleys, and relaxed atmosphere invite you to unwind and explore. Hvar is perfect for groups that want a mix of culture, nature, and festive energy. Organizing a day trip to Hvar allows you to relax, bond, and experience the magic of the Croatian islands.
For those seeking a quieter atmosphere, Šolta is an excellent choice. Here, you’ll experience Croatia’s nature in an authentic way, away from the larger tourist crowds. With its green surroundings, blue waters, and small fishing villages, Šolta is ideal for groups wanting a peaceful and relaxing day trip.
Culture and Nightlife: Dinner and Dance in Split
Split also offers plenty of evening entertainment. The city is filled with restaurants where you can taste Croatian delicacies, from freshly caught fish to hearty stews. After a delicious dinner, head to one of the city’s bars or clubs to dance the night away. Split has something for everyone, from trendy cocktail bars to vibrant nightclubs. A popular spot is Bačvice Beach Club, where you can dance right by the water and enjoy the sea breeze as the music plays late into the night.
