Wide, wood-framed harmonica-style glass doors in the centre of the living area bring in the sea views and allow you to step out onto the shaded, roofed dining terrace and the tiered garden with ease. Another door near the far side of the kitchen, at the end of the entrance hallway, provides access to the rear terrace, where you’ll find a large barbecue grill perfect for preparing al fresco meals.

The large main bathroom upstairs connects to the third double bedroom, which faces the opposite direction.

You will also find an additional WC located off the upstairs hallway.
Let’s head back outside. Luma Hvar boasts a sizeable, tiered seafront garden and offers plenty of possibilities for al fresco living.

Steps lead down from the dining area to the deck, complete with sun loungers and shaded by Mediterranean pine. Steps continue to lead down, past the outdoor shower for after your swim, closer to the sea, until you reach the threshold at the end of the garden to access the transparent waters of the Adriatic.

Ivan Dolac is a serene coastal village, offering stunning natural beauty, clear waters, and a relaxed atmosphere. Situated on a slope with breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea, it's known for its picturesque pebble beaches and secluded coves, ideal for sunbathing, swimming, and water sports. The village's unique location and scenic sunsets make it a perfect spot for a tranquil getaway.Getting to Ivan Dolac can be an adventure, whether by boat or car. If arriving by boat, visitors can dock at the nearby marina in Sveta Nedjelja, though it's advisable to check weather conditions due to exposure to southern winds. By car, travellers can take ferries to Sućuraj or Stari Grad and enjoy scenic drives to the village, passing through the historic and unlit Old Tunnel of Hvar, which will definitely make your journey more memorable.

The neighbouring settlement of Sveta Nedjelja offers experiences like visiting Red Rocks, Zlatan Otok winery, and Cliffbase. The island of Šćedro, accessible from the neighbouring village of Zavala, boasts historical sites, diving spots, and semi-abandoned villages. Humac, a nearby village, offers guided walks, cave explorations, and a unique dining experience at Konoba Humac. For a livelier atmosphere, Jelsa provides cultural and entertainment options, including bars, art galleries, and fine dining.Despite its small size, Ivan Dolac has essential amenities including a minimart, a fruit and veg stall during the summer, several coffee bars lining the waterfront and a few restaurants. Dining options now include the newly opened Restaurant Spila, Restaurant Rot for traditional Dalmatian dishes, and Šanpjerin Beach Bar for drinks in an elevated yet relaxed setting. Visitors can savour local wines, seafood, and the slow-paced lifestyle, making Ivan Dolac a delightful destination on Hvar.
