Maslina Resort

Situated in its own sheltered bay with stunning sunset views off Hvar’s west coast, this Relais & Châteaux resort offers 53 spacious rooms, suites and villas, all with sea-view terraces, super comfy beds and wooden, custom-built bathtubs; some suites even come with their own heated plunge pools.

The whole resort has been carefully integrated into the landscape and interiors throughout use local stone, wood and natural fabrics in colours inspired by Hvar’s pinewoods, rocks and olive groves. Furniture is largely custom-made and an organic garden supplies the restaurant, bar and spa.

Service is warm, well-informed and professional and facilities include several pebble coves with wooden bathing decks, two swimming pools rimmed by wooden decks and olive trees, a full-service spa complete with Turkish hammam and Finnish sauna, an innovative kids’ club and a restaurant that champions seasonality and celebrates local ingredients.
