Villas in Split Croatia – See where Netflix ‘The Weekend Away’ was filmed
By Idyllic Croatia Villas, 23rd January 2026
If you’re looking at villas in Split, Croatia for your summer holiday, definitely watch Netflix’s ‘The Weekend Away’ for some fantastic footage of Split and the surrounding area! As reported by Paul Fogarty of HITC, Netflix’s ‘The Weekend Away’, a thriller, available to watch on the channel, is filmed in Split, Croatia. It’s a great watch to fill a rainy day.
So, if you are booking a villa in Split or in lovely Trogir, or one of the many lovely seaside towns up and down the coast or nearby islands, watch ‘The Weekend Away’ to check out the sights and sounds of this lovely historic city with its vibrant, rich cultural mix, and make sure to visit it in person when you have the chance – you won’t be disappointed!
Diocletian’s Palace, the impressively colonnaded Peristil square and the palace cellars are particular features in the film and you’ll see an adrenalin-fuelled chase scene filmed within the Palace – we’d expect no less.
The Palace of Roman Emperor Diocletian (started approx. 293AD) is a must see – the palace makes up much of the “Riva” which is the waterfront of the old town of Split and is about 30 thousand square metres. It is truly magnificent to see and really gives you an insight into how Croatia fitted into the Roman Empire and how the whole Mediterranean area used to be. Little shops, drinking fountains, and restaurants now fill the spaces, and often you will round a corner to find an acapella group singing their beautiful soulful music, adding to the truly atmospheric location – not to be missed.
