Hvar & Pakleni Islands

Hvar and the Pakleni Islands are among the most exclusive and attractive destinations in the entire Mediterranean — a synergy of history, glamour, natural beauty, and a premium lifestyle.

DESTINATION

Hvar - The Island of Sun, Sea, and Unforgettable Landscapes

Hvar is the Croatian island with the most sunshine hours, known for its luxury as well as its authentic, deeply rooted Dalmatian tradition.

The main town of Hvar is a city of the Renaissance—palaces, old stone alleys, a baroque harbour, and the spectacular Fortica Fortress rising above the town. Here, everything comes together: from a rich historical heritage (the Franciscan Monastery, the oldest public theatre in Europe dating back to 1612) to a modern jet-set nightlife.

 

  • the scent of lavender and rosemary in the air
  • vineyards producing world-renowned wines (Plavac Mali, Bogdanuša)
  • beach clubs that are global brands
  • a blend of tradition, art, gastronomy, and luxury

 

Hvar is a place you come for an experience—by day and by night.
In summer, it’s the epicentre of the Adriatic scene.

Worthwhile Stops:

Fortica – A Renaissance fortress that completes the city walls, built atop a hill overlooking the city from the north side. It was constructed in the early 16th century during Venetian rule and restored in 1579. In addition to its remarkable architecture, the fortress offers an unforgettable panoramic view of Hvar town, its surroundings, and the Pakleni Islands.

 

Hora – A stunning UNESCO-protected agricultural masterpiece, founded by the ancient Greeks 2,400 years ago. The vineyards and olive groves have been cultivated in the same layout for centuries.

 

Local Wineries – Enjoy a tasting of some of the island’s best wines, including Pošip, Bogdanuša, Rosé, or Barrique Plavac Mali.

DESTINATION

Pakleni Islands – A Hidden Paradise

The Pakleni Islands are a luxurious, ruggedly indented cluster of small islands and islets just off the town of Hvar, covered in pine forests and surrounded by turquoise, crystal-clear waters.

The Pakleni (or Paklinski) Islands, locally called "Škoji," are a magical group of islets that rise from the deep blue of the Adriatic like hidden pearls. They were named after paklina, a type of pine resin once used by the people of Hvar for shipbuilding. This archipelago is a true natural wonder, offering exotic beaches, stunning bays, and unforgettable beauty.

 

The most famous among them are:

  • Palmižana — an iconic destination, a paradise bay for boats, with beach clubs, art galleries, and a creative bohemian vibe
  • Jerolim — renowned for its tranquillity and crystal-clear beaches
  • Stipanska — open-air party energy and nightlife
  • Sv. Klement — the largest of all the islands; a private paradise without massive construction
  • Dobri Otok — an uninhabited islet within the Pakleni archipelago
  • Mlini, Ždrilca — peaceful, natural lagoons in unbelievably vivid colours

 

Superyachts come here, along with people from all over the world—but also families, couples in love, and travellers searching for hidden swimming spots.
The Pakleni Islands are the essence of a “secret” Mediterranean escape, yet with the infrastructure for fine dining, top wines, lounge living, and a high-class experience.

Why is this destination special?

  • a unique combination of luxury and wild nature
  • spectacular sea colours
  • top-tier gastronomy and authentic olive oil, wine, and local specialties
  • the perfect blend: a quiet morning on the Pakleni Islands in serene lagoons, and an evening in Hvar under the stars with music

Hvar & the Pakleni Islands aren’t just a destination — they’re a lifestyle and an experience you remember and carry with you.
