The island of Hvar

Understated luxury, cultural heritage, and unrivalled natural beauty create a place that truly earns its reputation as Croatia's most majestic island. Blessed as the sunniest island in Europe, with its delectable cuisine and breathtaking beaches dotted along the Adriatic coast, Hvar simply embodies the authentic yet glamorous Mediterranean summer.

EXPLORE THE ISLAND

Experiences

A private boat to a hidden cove, dinner caught by the local fisherman, wine tasting with the winemaker himself. Our curated Experiences inspire memories to last a lifetime.

SEE ALL EXPERIENCES

No visit to Hvar is complete without dedicating some time to pure enjoyment on the Adriatic. Cruise in luxury aboard a private mini yacht, rent your own boat for leisurely exploration, or dive right in with snorkelling, kayaking, windsurfing, or scuba diving.

Indulging in Hvar’s vibrant culinary scene is not to be missed. From in-villa chefs to private cooking lessons, to olive oil tastings and hilltop farm-to-table dinners overlooking the sunset, our array of gastronomic experiences invites you to savour the taste of the island's cuisine.

Adrenaline enthusiasts need look no further. Few adventures are as thrilling as rock climbing up the south side’s limestone cliffs, cycling through rugged black pine forest up to Hvar’s highest point, or quad bike touring through the island’s labyrinth of hidden gravel roads.

Despite storied history dating back millennia, Hvar's wines remain a rarity outside of Croatia. Winemaking is an intrinsic part of life here, just as it is throughout the Mediterranean. Enjoy tasting experiences in the winemaker’s company, where passion and authenticity converge in every sip.

Our in-villa wellness specialists offer a host of holistic treatments including massage, reflexology, and sound therapy. Restore balance with private yoga sessions on your terrace, or keep fit whilst on holiday under the guidance of our personal trainer with bespoke fitness sessions.

Time goes by, but the essence of Hvar’s rich past still lingers. The in-depth knowledge of our expert guides brings life to the island’s historic old towns, quaint fishing villages, and UNESCO heritage sites, ensuring a truly immersive exploration of its past.

INSPIRING ITINERARIES

What to do on Hvar: 3 incredible itineraries

Hvar is small, but it doesn’t lack for things to do. Although the entire island is just three-fifths the size of Prague and has less than 1% as many residents, Hvar feels bigger than it is. There are so many facets to the island that you could spend a lifetime here (like us!) and still only scratch the surface. But these three, day-long itineraries will help you get the most out of even a brief visit.

FEATURED VILLA | OCTOBER 2024

Villa Estelle

Sitting in a peaceful position in Hvar’s countryside village of Vrbanj, Villa Estelle is a sophisticated, soulful, and charm-filled property that has been sensitively and harmoniously restored to create a contemporary take on a traditional Dalmatian stone house. This home is a wonderful choice for those who enjoy the simple pleasures in life: swimming in the irresistible pool, gazing at inspiring views across the Adriatic from the top floor bedroom, lunch prepared in the shaded summer kitchen, a short drive for a dip at a fabulous beach, and, when the sun begins its descent, strolling into the village to dine al fresco at the excellent local pizza konoba.

We’re here to craft your dream Mediterranean villa escape.
