ADVENTURE
Take your breath away
Adrenaline enthusiasts need look no further. Few adventures are as thrilling as rock climbing up the south side’s limestone cliffs, cycling through rugged black pine forest up to Hvar’s highest point, or quad bike touring through the island’s labyrinth of hidden gravel roads.
Despite storied history dating back millennia, Hvar's wines remain a rarity outside of Croatia. Winemaking is an intrinsic part of life here, just as it is throughout the Mediterranean. Enjoy tasting experiences in the winemaker’s company, where passion and authenticity converge in every sip.

HISTORIC TOWNS
As a global magnet for yacht travel and high-end thrills, Hvar Town has everything you would expect: gorgeous architecture, phenomenal DJs, indulgent spas, and outstanding restaurants. But what we love most is that these exceptional luxuries are just a gateway to an even richer experience.
The second largest and oldest town on the island, Stari Grad was founded by the ancient Greeks in the 4th century BC. It’s no surprise that the understated luxury of this ancient settlement has won the hearts of the world’s most passionate sailing and yachting aficionados.
A seaside town with a dazzling view across sea and mountains, Jelsa is a quietly elegant summer destination ideal for families. Bars, art galleries, an open-air cinema, fine dining, farmer’s markets, a vast kid’s park, jogging paths, and a zillion gelato bars line Jelsa’s beautifully maintained waterfront.
This quaint former fishing village is defined by its charming canal, flanked by classic Dalmatian stone houses and elegant bridges. Though small, Vrboska brims with vibrant life above its calm waters, with delightful restaurants and cafe bars lining its harbour.
