Located in a sheltered bay near Stari Grad on the island of Hvar, the luxurious Maslina Resort is an idyllic coastal resort that celebrates Croatian culture and nature. Surrounded by lush olive trees and pine trees, guests can enjoy a rocky and pebble beach, two pools, a Mediterranean gourmet restaurant, a spa, and a kids' club. Fifty-three rooms, suites, and spacious villas combine natural local materials such as stone, wood, terracotta, and glass with stunning sea views, green gardens, or private pools. The region attracts visitors with UNESCO-protected sights and red wines that are famous beyond the country's borders.
Lush trees and shrubs surrounding the resort's two pools provide a sense of seclusion for couples and families alike. The large Pharomatiq Spa features a fitness room, a beauty and hair salon, an aqua-thermal suite with steam baths and saunas, and an ice-cold plunge pool. Enjoy an outdoor massage or take part in a yoga class on the open wooden platform. Take a stroll along the harbor promenade in UNESCO-protected Stari Grad or treat yourself to a wine tasting—it's not without reason that the island is famous for its local red wines.
Choose your ideal accommodation from spacious rooms, elegant suites, or luxurious villas. The authentic design combines Mediterranean simplicity and French art styles with natural materials, resulting in a modern maritime ambience. Eight suites are equipped with a heated pool, while others feature lush rooftop gardens or spacious terraces with stunning sea views. With a striking wooden slat design, five bedrooms, a private gym, a spacious sun terrace, and a generous pool, Villa Uvala makes an architectural statement—perfect for a dream vacation with a larger group.
The hotel's main restaurant will spoil you with Mediterranean dishes made from local, seasonal products, some of which come from the hotel's own organic garden, others directly from the sea. Let yourself be surprised by the tasting menu – the fresh seafood from the Adriatic Sea is outstanding. The sommelier will be happy to advise you on the selection of suitable wines. On the beach, the casual A-Bay Bar offers refreshments at any time in the form of exotic cocktails, champagne, or ice-cold rosé wine with a view of the coastline lapped by gentle waves.
Located directly on the rocky coast, the modern Maslina Resort welcomes you with its clever design and quintessential Mediterranean atmosphere. Designed by Aalto Architects from Split, the resort has been carefully integrated into the landscape. "Maslina" translates as "olive" – the existing olive trees on the site have been preserved and lovingly incorporated into the gardens. Low buildings constructed of stone and wood, planted roofs, and flourishing flora all around convey a unique sense of seclusion, even though you are only a short walk away from the port town of Stari Grad. Spacious rooms, elegant suites—some with private pools—and luxurious villas with up to five bedrooms offer wonderful retreats for couples or larger groups. Croatian oak, terracotta, marble, and limestone lend the light-filled interiors a natural elegance.
