Blace suits couples and kitesurfers who want a simple base on a small bay at the edge of the Neretva Delta. Most homes are compact and sleep around four. There is no hotel scene, and Split airport is almost two hours away by car.
Blace is a village of under 300 people in the municipality of Slivno, set in a small bay on the southern side of the Neretva Delta. There is no hotel; a majority of houses rent out private rooms, which tells you the scale. A few kilometres north lies a large beach whose shallow water has made it well known for kitesurfing. Behind the coast spreads the delta, wetland and lagoons that have been a Ramsar site since 1992, though reclamation has cut the river to three branches from the original twelve. Evenings are quiet, and Ploče and Opuzen are the nearby towns for errands.

Fly to Split, around an hour and 50 minutes' drive away. Buses from Split airport take well over three hours with changes, some via Rogotin, so hire a car. Ploče, a nearby town, has bus links from Split. Check each listing for parking.
Yes. A large beach a few kilometres north of the village is well known for kitesurfing, thanks to its shallow water. The village itself sits on a small bay.
About an hour and 50 minutes by car. The bus takes close to four hours with changes, so a hire car is far more practical for the delta.
No. The village has no hotel, and a majority of its houses offer private rooms for rent, so expect a small, residential place rather than a resort.
It makes a convenient base. The delta has been a Ramsar wetland since 1992 and includes ornithological reserves among its five protected areas, all within reach of the village by car.
