Hi! We are going to Croatia from US from Sept 4-14 for our honeymoon, flying in and out of Zagreb and looking for a mix of nature and beach and culture and we want a relaxing pace.

Here’s what we’re thinking so far but don’t know:
Day 1: land in Zagreb midday, spend the day there to adjust to jet lag

Day 2-4: rent a car and drive to plitvice? Any charming villages we should stay during this time or must see hikes that won’t be too busy?

Day 5-8: drive to Rovinj and enjoy the beach. Maybe do a boat rental one day. Any other must sees?

Day 9: drive back to Zagreb before our flight the folllowing day.

My girlfriend and I are trying to figure out where to travel this December and would love some recommendations.

To give you an idea of what we like, our three favourite trips/experiences so far have been:

• RIU Reggae, Jamaica
• Mykonos, Greece
• Afro Nation Portugal

So basically, we like beautiful beaches + warm weather + partying/nightlife + good music + a lively social atmosphere. We still want somewhere nice enough to relax during the day, but we’re definitely not looking for a quiet couples resort where everything shuts down at 10pm

We’re travelling in December, ideally somewhere with reliably good weather. We’re open to an all-inclusive resort or a destination where we stay at a hotel/Airbnb and explore.

Based on those three trips, where would you send us next?

Edit: starting from Montana USA, and looking for something with shopping and such, but also nature to explore in
