The island of Hvar is not the largest island of Croatia nor is it the most inhabited island of Croatia. However, one can argue that it is the most beautiful island of Croatia as it carries the nickname “The Queen of the Croatian Islands” and is often found on lists of the most beautiful islands in the world right next to top tourist destinations such as the Maldives, Bora Bora, Santorini, Bali and others. The island of Hvar is an island in the Adriatic Sea just a short ferry ride away from the historic city of Split right between the islands of Vis, Brac, and Korcula.
Hvar is known for its crystal clear sea, a mild Mediterranean climate, and 2726 hours of sun per year covered in vast fields of lavender, beautiful vineyards, and ancient olive groves, so it is also known as the sunniest island. Famous for its beautiful beaches, many hours of sunshine, and turquoise waters, Hvar is a place to stay when visiting the Adriatic coast. Its rich history and culture which also includes a Franciscan monastery and some of the oldest towns offer you a lot to explore.
But it's not only picturesque bays, pine forests and fine pebble beaches that this island has. Explore the luxury side of Hvar island and spend your vacation in one of our Hvar villas with pool that will make your vacation unforgettable. Hvar is also a well-known luxurious Dalmatian destination, so it's not surprising that it is often the target of famous people and celebrities as well.
