If you plan to use the paid airport shuttle offered by Miraval, arrange it in advance through your booking confirmation contact details.

Clothing & footwear for Split
Split has a Mediterranean climate: hot, dry summers and mild winters. In summer (June–August) pack lightweight breathable clothes, swimwear, and sun protection; shoulder seasons (May, September) are pleasant with slightly cooler evenings, so include a light jacket.
Split’s historic centre and streets around Diocletian’s Palace are mostly cobbled and uneven; comfortable walking shoes matter more than dress shoes. If you plan to hike Marjan Hill or visit beaches such as Bačvice, pack layered activewear and sturdy sandals or trainers.
- Summer: shorts, tees, swimsuit, sun hat, sunglasses
- Evenings/shoulder season: light jacket or sweater
- Comfortable walking shoes for cobbles and uneven streets
- Pack a compact rain layer if traveling in late autumn or winter
| Activity | Recommended items |
|---|---|
| Old Town walking | Comfortable shoes, lightweight daypack, water bottle |
| Beaches (Bačvice, Kašjuni) | Swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, water shoes (pebble beaches possible) |
| Marjan Hill hike | Trail shoes, hat, small first-aid/ blister kit |
Toiletries, health & local money matters
Miraval supplies free toiletries and hairdryers in rooms, but if you need specific medication or sensitive-skin products, bring them. Also pack any prescription medicines in original containers plus a basic first-aid kit and sunscreen.
A mandatory city tax applies in Split; guests should have a small amount of cash available for any local fees or extras paid directly to the property. When booking via an OTA, the booking site often takes the room charge, while day-to-day extras or shuttle fees may be paid at the property.
- Sunscreen and after-sun lotion
- Any prescription meds and basic first-aid items
- Small cash (Euros are sometimes accepted but the local currency is Croatian kuna — confirm current currency before travel)
- Copies of prescriptions and medical info if needed
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Prescription meds | Not all pharmacies carry every brand |
| Sunscreen | Summer sun can be strong on beaches and Marjan Hill |
| Small cash | For local fees, tips, or shuttle payments at the property |
