About Hvar

What are the best hotels in Hvar?

That depends on whether you’re after a glamorous five star stay, a stylish boutique hotel or somewhere quieter by the sea. Hvar has plenty of choice, but out of all the hotels on this list, Adriana Hvar Spa Hotel has to be our top pick. Right on Hvar Town’s marina, this chic spa hotel has a glamorous feel, rooftop bar and a great setting for enjoying the island’s lively atmosphere.

The island of Hvar is considered to be the 'jewel among jewels' of the Dalmatian Coast. With its elegant Venetian architecture, historic fortress, lively waterfront and easy access to the Pakleni Islands, Hvar Town is an excellent base. Away from the town, the island is dotted with quiet coves, lavender fields, olive groves and vineyards, making it easy to escape the crowds.

The Best Places to Stay in Hvar

For a stay off the beaten track

For an Apartment or Villa

  • If you’d prefer to stay in an apartment or private villa, we recommend you visit our online partner Booking.com

Travel Information

  • Hvar is easily accessible by boat taxi or ferry from Split airport. If you don't have your own craft...
  • If you want to hire a car, which we highly recommend if you’re staying in Hvar and you want to see more of the Dalmatian Coast, we recommend you visit our online partner Rentalcars.
  • Summer has the nicest weather, but this is peak time for visiting the Dalmatian Coast. So the best times for most of us to visit are May-June or September-October when the days are long and sunny, the sea is still warm enough to swim in, the attractions and restaurants are all open, but you don’t have to queue for them.
