Split

Millienia-old villages and castles overlook the breathtaking coastline on Croatia's Dalmatian coast. Private jet travelers can best appreciate Split sipping local wines from the terrace of one of the many private villas available there.  Or go from Split to a yacht waiting off the coast of Hvar Island via your own private helicopter. Arriving in your Gulfstream private jet Split SPU airport is known locally as Resnik Airport and is located right on the edge of the water in Kastela Bay. The bulk of the sites you'll want to see in Split are just to the East as you leave the Resnik.

Must See: The Buffet Fife restaurant in the Dragomir neighborhood presides over an eclectic mix of seafaring gentlemen and locals who pop in to enjoy the amazing home-cooked flavor.

You can dine at Sumica under the stars while overlooking the Adriatic.
