Why travel with us?

Each villa in our collection is vetted by us personally. No property enters the collection until co-founders Elisha and Matt have seen it for themselves! The homes we select are top of their class in terms of quality, design, location, character, and amenities – all in value alignment with their price.

Numerous agencies list properties on their websites without ever setting foot in them. Some now use AI algorithms to vet properties. Our approach is very different. To us, seeing and feeling our villas in person is indispensable. How else could we extend a wholehearted welcome to our guests with confidence?

Some of our villas are exclusively available with us, so you won’t find them through any other companies. This means we are the only key-holder to some of the island’s most iconic and sought-after villas.

When you book with Hvar Away, you are not only reserving a stay in one of the island’s most remarkable properties. You are securing your peace of mind.

Quality has always been the core of everything we do. By keeping our portfolio relatively small, we are able to take a hands-on approach to quality assurance. Our team conducts comprehensive annual audits at each villa, and quality checks before every arrival. We work closely with our villa owners and their staff to make sure every stay not only meets expectations, but surpasses them.

When only the best will do, take a step Beyond. These luxury villas represent the crème de la crème of our portfolio, considered the most iconic on Hvar. Luxury can mean different things to different people, but each of our Beyond villas offers something that sets it apart from the already exacting standards of our other villas. It could be sophisticated and chic interiors, an irresistible infinity pool with far-reaching views, top-tier amenities, a heavenly setting – or in most cases, a captivating combination of these elements.

Every traveller is different, therefore what it takes to create an unforgettable holiday for you will be individual, and the same holds true for each member of your group. That’s why we never do generic package holidays. Instead, we listen closely and build your stay around the expectations of everyone in your group.

Picture arriving at your villa to a curated hamper of the finest local produce and wines from the island’s premium vineyards, or the luxury of a private chef preparing a gourmet meal while you unwind by the pool. Perhaps a surprise birthday cake, a perfectly planned proposal at sea as the sun sets, or a saxophonist playing during your celebration meal. Just tell us your ideas (big or small), and we'll bring it to life.

We believe your holiday starts the moment you begin searching for your perfect villa. That’s why we blend the instant ease of the best global booking platforms with the warm, personal care of a true local team.

Our website gives you real-time availability calendars and secure online payments, so you can reserve your ideal villa as soon as you find it, day or night, no matter where you are in the world. Yet technology never replaces people: we’re always here for a call or message whenever you want to talk.

At the core of our philosophy lies an unwavering commitment to exceptional service, ensuring every aspect of your booking journey is built around effortless convenience and personalised attention. With Hvar Away, you really do get the best of both worlds.
