Pelagos & Galapagos encapsulate all that is desirable in Mediterranean villas. Their many charms, not least the enchanting sea views and shady relaxation spots, invite repose and relaxation, while the proximity of Hvar Town, just a stroll away down the hill, throws up a couple of delicious dilemmas: lounge by the pools or on the beach, eat in with the private chef or dine out at one of the town’s renowned restaurants. Decisions, decisions…

Accommodation at both Villa Pelagos and Villa Galapagos is spread over two floors, with each villa housing two upstairs bedrooms and two downstairs bedrooms.

INSIDE VILLA PELAGOS

The main entrance takes one into an airy and generously proportioned entranceway, from which the rest of the accommodation flows. Immediately to the right, the bunk bedroom with a custom wooden-beamed frame with a full size lower bed and a single on top. And in front, the comfortable open-plan living and dining area with flagstone flooring, a traditional fireplace, and a pair of French doors leading out onto the pool terrace overlooking the sea. Tucked behind the dining area is the well-equipped kitchen, which accesses the al-fresco dining terrace and barbecue area.

To one side of this communal space, the hallway opens into the main downstairs bedroom – a king with a wood-beamed ceiling, antique furniture pieces, and French doors leading directly out to the pool terrace and bringing in those mesmerising sea views. A contemporary bathroom with walk-in shower is shared by the two downstairs bedrooms, and completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

INSIDE VILLA GALAPAGOS

The main entrance takes one into an airy and generously proportioned entranceway, from which the rest of the accommodation flows. Immediately to the left, the twin bedroom, and in front, the main downstairs bedroom – a king with a wood-beamed ceiling, antique furniture pieces, and French doors leading directly out to the pool terrace and bringing in those mesmerising sea views. A contemporary bathroom with walk-in shower is shared by the two downstairs bedrooms, and completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

Following the entranceway around to the left, it opens into the comfortable open-plan living and dining area with flagstone flooring, a traditional fireplace, and a pair of French doors leading out onto the pool terrace overlooking the sea. Tucked behind the dining area is the well-equipped kitchen, next to which is access to the al-fresco dining terrace and barbecue area.

Stairs lead up from the main entranceway to an upper landing area, from which the remaining two bedrooms and the guest WC and laundry room are accessed. Both upstairs bedrooms are light, airy suites with king-size beds, en-suite bathrooms, unique historical furnishings, and each with its own private seaview terrace looking over the pool.

OUTSIDE

A stone-paved pool area wraps around each villa and boasts panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea and Hvar’s southern coastline, including the iconic Pokonji Dol islet directly in front. The heatable pools make bathing possible even in the off-season months. To one side of each villa is the bar and al fresco dining area, both of which contain a gas barbecue and a traditional wood-fired barbecue, and are conveniently accessed from the side entrance of each house near the indoor kitchens. And just in front, the shaded stone pergola areas are where you may well end up spending most of your waking hours. Two dreamy spots, with palms and pines swaying gently in the breeze, and sea views that will stay with you long after you return home.

The well-thought-out design of Pelagos & Galapagos means that the bedrooms on the first floor all have their own private balconies where guests can read, relax, and drink in the wonderful panoramas. Meanwhile, the main ground floor bedrooms step directly out onto the pool terraces.

The Area

Villas Pelagos & Galapagos sit in an uber-panoramic position one kilometre east of Hvar Town, where the Venetian architecture, labyrinth of pretty streets and excellent range of shops, restaurants, bars and nightlife are well worth exploring.

Hvar Town stands as the beating heart of Croatia’s sunniest island, a fortified harbour settlement where Renaissance palaces and marble-paved squares rise straight from the water’s edge. Centred around one of the largest and most beautiful squares in Dalmatia, the town is dominated by the imposing cathedral of St. Stephen and overlooked by the hilltop fortress that offers sweeping views across the harbour and the Pakleni Islands beyond. Narrow stone streets lined with Venetian architecture, boutique shops, and inviting cafés lead down to the palm-fringed waterfront, where superyachts moor alongside traditional fishing boats, and the daily bustle of locals and visitors creates an infectious energy that lasts from morning market to late-night cocktails.

Beyond the historic core, Hvar Town serves as the perfect base for exploring the island’s natural and culinary highlights. Excellent restaurants range from sophisticated waterfront dining to family-run konobas serving fresh seafood and local wine, while the surrounding coastline offers secluded coves, pebble beaches, and crystal-clear waters ideal for swimming and boating. Regular ferry services and water taxis make arriving here from Split and day trips to the Pakleni archipelago effortless, and the town’s calendar is packed with cultural events, from classical concerts in ancient cloisters to the renowned summer festival scene. Well-connected yet never overwhelmed, this compact town holds more history, culture, and waterfront glamour per metre than almost anywhere else in the Adriatic.
