Supetar is the largest town on Brac and the administrative and cultural centre of the island. The town grew up around the peninsula of St. Nikola, the patron saint of fishermen and sailors. After a period of obscurity during the Middle Ages the town returned to prominence at the end of the 18th century and developed into the settlement that exists today. Supetar’s tranquil beauty and proximity to Split has made it a popular place for holiday homes with those on the mainland and you will find many ‘vikendice’ (weekend houses) around the centre. These villas are hidden amongst the bougainvillea and palm trees and have been carefully designed to preserve the character of the area.

Its status as the island’s capital gives the town a year-round vibrancy and you will find everything you need here to enjoy your holiday. During the season the coastal road is pedestrianised allowing restaurants and cafes to spill out onto the harbour front. There are many beaches within the town and a full range of activities from tennis, football and basketball to sailing and waterskiing. We recommend the beautiful beach of Vela Luka which is suitable for children and popular with players of the traditional Dalmatian game of ‘Picigin’.
At night time you will find the action concentrated around the centre and in the late-night bars and discos hidden in the woods behind the seafront.
