Hotel in Hvar, Croatia
Maslina Resort Hvar
This eco-luxury resort on Hvar's secluded coast blends seamlessly with nature, featuring locally-sourced materials, organic farm-to-table dining, and sustainability focus. Peaceful atmosphere with private beach, spa, and modern Dalmatian design.
Maslina Resort occupies a sheltered bay on the western coast of Hvar island, reached via the village of Maslinica at the address Maslinica 10. The resort is positioned away from Hvar Town's increasingly crowded harbourfront, offering seclusion within Hvar's pine forests and olive groves without sacrificing access to the island's main settlements. The name references the island's centuries-old olive cultivation, and the property's design philosophy is built around the Dalmatian environment: locally sourced stone, reclaimed timber, drought-resistant planting, and minimal landscape disruption.
The resort has 50 suites and villas, all oriented toward the sea. Interiors combine bleached wood, Croatian linen, and hand-crafted ceramics in a palette that echoes the island's natural colours. Outdoor terraces and private pools are incorporated into several suite categories, and the layout ensures most units have unobstructed views of the Adriatic and the adjacent islands of Šćedro and Lastovo on clear days.
Dining at Maslina centres on an organic farm-to-table philosophy. The resort maintains its own kitchen garden and sources additional ingredients from local Hvar producers — lavender honey, island capers, Dalmatian lamb, and wine from Hvar's indigenous Plavac Mali and Bogdanuša grape varieties. The restaurant's wine cellar emphasises Croatian production, with a curated list spanning Hvar, Pelješac, and Istria. An outdoor dining terrace overlooking the sea operates during the warm months.
The spa facility incorporates treatments using local botanicals — rosemary, lavender, and sage grown on or near the property. An infinity pool is positioned above the private beach, and yoga and meditation sessions are offered on a seasonal schedule. Bicycles are available for guests to explore the island's rural tracks, and kayaks and paddleboards are provided for coastal exploration. The resort's water sports programme and guided snorkelling sessions appeal to guests interested in Hvar's clear Adriatic waters. A strong environmental commitment is reflected in the resort's certifications and sustainable operational model.
