From Costa del Sol to Croatia, Indagare travelers have been answering the Mediterranean’s siren song in 2025.
This summer, Indagare members have been making the most of the Mediterranean, diving into its azure waters across the sun-soaked region.
Which resorts have been the most popular? We examined our reservations data to find out. Italy continues to lure travelers—nearly 60 percent of Indagare’s most-booked resorts on the Mediterranean during summer 2025 are in Italy. But Croatia, the Balearics and French Riviera make strong appearances as well. The common denominator: properties that transport us to pure OOO mode.
See below for the full list.
