Hvar Homeowners

Rent your villa with us

Hvar Away is the destination for booking exceptional island homes. If you are the owner of a special property that you would like to rent out to responsible, discerning guests, we would love to hear from you. But first, let us introduce ourselves and the various ways you can partner with us.

Who We Are

Meet Elisha and Matt

Matt and Elisha

Elisha

Hvar Away founders Elisha and Matt moved to Hvar in 2020, having visited the island only once before. The pandemic motivated them to take a leap of faith, bidding farewell to the UK in pursuit of building a new life in Croatia.

Having escaped from medical studies at Oxford University and subsequently a world traveller, Elisha heads up operations and guest services. Originally from Poland, Matt is a multi-skilled tradesman, former strongman coach, and fast gathered a reputation as the island’s own superhero.

They soon realised that together, with complementary skillsets and an international perspective, they could lay the foundations of something truly special. Their idea was to create more than just a travel agency; instead, to curate a collection of special properties and experiences that would allow others to discover the true magic of this small island.

For those seeking a complete 360-degree service approach, which is most commonly international homeowners starting from square one, we can provide a comprehensive property setup service coupled with ongoing full villa management, available on an exclusive-only basis.
