Whitsun by the sea
One of the best things about May and June is the many public holidays. They give you several opportunities to take a short break over a long weekend. How about spending Whitsun by the sea, for example? We have the perfect destination for you!

Make the most of the spring holidays
In Japan and India, people enjoy 16 public holidays every year – the highest number worldwide. In the EU, Slovakia leads the way with 15 public holidays. And how many public holidays does Austria have? There are 13. They are particularly concentrated in spring: the Easter holidays are followed by the public holiday on 1 May. This falls on a Thursday this year, so a long weekend is virtually guaranteed.
After that, Whit Monday, which falls on 9 June this year, gives us another reason to celebrate. Corpus Christi is also a Thursday every year and marks the start of a long weekend. This year it falls on 19 June. So why not book your holiday now and take advantage of these three opportunities for a short break in spring! Three nights is definitely long enough to make a trip to the seaside worthwhile.
Short break by the sea
Provided, of course, that you choose a destination that can be reached in a short amount of time. The beautiful Lemongarden boutique hotel on the Croatian island of Brač is perfect for this. After all, the flight time from Vienna to Split is just 70 minutes! From Split, you can then take Agnes or Irene, our speedboats, across the sea.
With every metre it travels across the crystal-clear water, everyday life fades further and further into the distance. Immediately, you feel that special lightness that only a holiday by the sea can bring. With a bit of luck, you might even see dolphins along the way! Just a few minutes later, our guests disembark from our elegant boat at the harbour in Sutivan, right in front of the Lemongarden Hotel.
Whitsun holiday in the sun
Warm, sunny days await our guests. This is ensured on the one hand by our attentive team, who bring a great deal of character and personality to their work. And on the other hand, of course, by the fantastic weather. Because temperatures in Dalmatia can reach up to 17 °C in early June, a beach holiday by the sea at Whitsun is definitely possible with us. Our beach club is just an idyllic walk away from the hotel. The beach is easy to reach with one of our rental bikes or our electric golf cart shuttle. Our iconic pool is also ideal for relaxing moments in and around the water.
There are many reasons for taking a short break or a Whitsun holiday by the sea. We now know that it makes sense for many people to plan several shorter breaks rather than one long holiday. These offer more regular opportunities to reduce stress. It's also simply good to be able to look forward to several holidays throughout the year. Studies have also shown that well-being quickly declines after a holiday, regardless of how long it lasted. With several short breaks, you can enjoy more frequent rest periods.
Why short breaks are good for your health
But that's not all. Several shorter trips throughout the year enrich your life with more impressions and help you stay motivated and productive in your everyday life. If you only plan one long trip, you often put pressure on yourself to make everything perfect. Those who plan shorter holidays and more of them do not project all their expectations onto a single trip. What's more, a short trip to the seaside is much easier to plan than a big holiday. Smaller trips allow for a better distribution of the holiday budget and prevent you from becoming tired of travelling itself.
