Luxury Holidays
in Hvar Island

Hvar Island is located off the south coast of mainland Croatia and is reached by taking the ferry from Split to Stari Grad. Hvar benefits from a mild climate with cool winters and hot summers, making it a perfect destination for family holidays. The island is rich in culture with a historic background dating back to prehistoric times. Boasting the accolade of being Croatia‘s sunniest island, it's a popular choice with travellers and is one of Croatia's top islands for holidaymakers.If you’re looking for relaxation, the beaches are ideal. Many of them are set in secluded picturesque rocky bays surrounded by pine forests. Quite a few are pebble beaches, but there are also some beautiful sandy beaches. Inland, there are vast fields of lavender, vineyards and ancient olive groves. Accommodation is of a high standard and the island boasts a great range of eateries as well with everything available from takeaway food to tantalising gourmet cuisine. Hvar town showcases buildings with Venetian-style architecture. Visit the 15th Century Franciscan monastery where you'll see the famous Last Supper painting before strolling the pretty streets and browsing in the charming souvenir shops and boutiques. This town is also the place where you'll find the island's hottest nightlife scene. Other areas of interest on the island include Stari Grad which is Hvar's oldest settlement and has a slower pace compared to Hvar town. You could take a day trip to Jelsa or Milna which are both small fishing villages and suitable for a relaxing day out strolling around before relaxing for a few hours on the beach.
