Arriving to the island by sea is exciting and it’s easy to reach from Split on the mainland. Hvar Town does change throughout the summer season though – if you go in July and August it is bustling with visitors and there is plenty going on in the town with beach bars, restaurants and nightlife! This is peak season and the jet-set are in town! In June and September, Hvar Town is still hot and sunny with plenty of visitors enjoying the ambiance, but its less hectic and busy, a much nicer time to go if you want to experience the real atmosphere of the place. Then May and October are much more peaceful, the ideal time to enjoy the scenery, sightseeing and seaside air…

There are some well located Hvar villas in Hvar Town to tempt you close to the sea and town centre – Hvar villas with pools are a rarity so book early to avoid disappointment. The rest of Hvar Island is quite different from Hvar Town and much more provincial. On the other side of the island, the more traditional and pretty fishing town of Jelsa is a lovely place to stay as a couple or family and has gorgeous sandy bays meandering around its coast. In fact, villas on Hvar also have the best stargazing! According to Lonely Planet, Jelsa has been awarded ‘International Dark Sky Community’ status.

Vrboska nearby is an attractive spot too with its marina and equally pretty pine fringed beaches. The laid back Town of Starigrad is a pretty and an authentic town full of little winding streets and eateries with colourful boats in the harbour. Full of history, a Romain mosaic in Starigrad has recently been uncovered just under the streets of! For the adventurous, head through the island tunnel out to the south side of Hvar Island to little places and beaches like Ivan Dolac Sveti Nedejla and Zavala.

Then there are a multitude of cozy bays and pretty to hide out in and truly relax, with little fisherman’s cottages by the sea and beach apartments, ideal for playing cards, a spot of music and just getting back to nature. Some of these bays are really close to Hvar Town and some are further out spread around Hvar Island but just ask us for advice! These little bays usually have a domestic restaurant close by you can fall into a couple of times a day to enjoy scrumptious locally caught fish and produce.
