Maslina Resort

Hvar, Croatia

The island of Hvar in the Adriatic Sea has it all: cobbled streets lined with cafés, a harbour that bobs with fishing boats and restaurants serving authentic Croatian cuisine. Tucked away from the glitz of the isle’s main town, in a sheltered bay on the north coast, is Maslina Resort. Built from local stone, terracotta and wood, the hotel complements the wild, lavender-carpeted landscape, its grounds dotted with ancient olive trees, the scent of rosemary in the air. Lie by the pretty outdoor pool, snorkel around pebbly coves or indulge in the seafront Pharomatiq Spa; little ones will also be living their best lives on treasure hunts, eco crafting and at open-air movie nights. Rooms, suites and villas are spacious, many with heated plunge pools and loggias offering views out to sea or of the pine-forested hills. It’s a panorama that will have you captivated at Terra restaurant, too, where the organic decor (terracotta tiles, brushed brass) complements the earth-to-plate menu, with a wine list that’s sourced from the hotel owner’s personal collection. The A•Bay Beach Bar, with its huge day beds and music sommelier, is for spritzes as the sun goes down.
