Hvar
The Sunniest Island
Hvar is a place of captivating contrasts. It is where historic Venetian architecture meets modern luxury, where the scent of lavender fields mingles with the sea breeze, and where authentic island life exists alongside world-class hospitality. It is, quite simply, the crown jewel of the Dalmatian coast.
Glitz & Glamour
Hvar Town is the epicenter of the Adriatic Riviera. Dominated by the imposing Fortica Španjola fortress, the town cascades down to a waterfront lined with superyachts and Venetian palazzos. The main square (Pjaca) is the largest in Dalmatia, anchored by the Renaissance Cathedral of St. Stephen.
By day, Hvar is a sun-drenched playground of beach clubs and crystal-clear bays. By night, it transforms into a vibrant hub of nightlife, where world-class dining meets open-air lounges like Carpe Diem and Hula Hula.
The Pakleni Islands
Just opposite Hvar Town lies the Pakleni Otoki (Hell's Islands)—a misleading name for what is essentially paradise. This chain of wooded isles offers secluded coves, turquoise lagoons, and the famous Palmižana marina, a botanical garden on the water.
Your yacht allows you the ultimate luxury: anchoring in a private bay within the archipelago for a swim, then taking the tender into Hvar Town for dinner, giving you the best of both seclusion and excitement.
The Quiet Interior
Beyond the glamour lies a rustic, aromatic interior. Hvar is the sunniest island in Europe, boasting over 2,700 hours of sunshine a year. This climate creates endless fields of lavender, rosemary, and heather that turn the landscape purple in early summer.
We recommend a visit to the Stari Grad Plain, a UNESCO World Heritage site where the agricultural landscape set up by ancient Greek colonists in the 4th century BC remains practically intact. Here, you can taste some of Croatia's finest olive oils and wines.
