Little Green Bay is an old, restored farmhouse that blends in harmoniously with nature and exudes understated luxury. With chic contemporary design at the forefront, this renovated building was founded by a Parisian designer and her brother, Julie and Mathieu, which blurs the boundaries between inside and out. They have created a barefoot-chic retreat, where you can enjoy the freshness of an outdoor shower, or an invigorating massage beneath the trees.

wood and cool linen in white and earthy shades, the suites come with a bamboo-covered terrace, rattan sun-beds, and an outdoor bath or shower. Clever use of stretched fabrics soften light, creating an intimate atmosphere in these rooms. Raw concrete bathrooms incorporate stone washbasins and are dressed with

This luxury waterside resort in a sheltered bay near Stari Grad is mind-blowing. The Maslina resort has been carefully integrated into the landscape, where the site's pre-existing olive trees were reserved and reincorporated into their own organic garden. Designed by Aalto architects, the furniture is custom-made in wood by Internova from Istria, whilst contemporary design combines local stone, wood, and terracotta. Located perfectly to indulge in the stunning sunsets off Hvar's west coast.
All of Maslina’s 53 rooms, suites and villas are decorated with natural and organic materials, where you can enjoy stunning sea views from a private terrace or secluded garden privacy where natural stone floors extend inside.

Located a short boat-ride across the bay from the harbour in Hvar Town, the hotel is set on the car-free islet of Sveti Klement, which is served by regular
taxi-boat.
The hotel's six bungalows and six villas are each themed with colour with unusual driftwood sculptures and a collection of unique local artworks, this escape blends art and nature perfectly. These villas have been designed carefully to blend harmoniously with the environment and most boast a terrace overlooking the ocean and small kitchenettes with fridge and kettle.
