Mindful Mediterranean glamour on Hvar

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Set on the serene shores of Maslinica Bay on Croatia’s glamorous Hvar Island, Maslina Resort brings a refined, wellness-driven approach to Adriatic luxury. The seasonal waterfront retreat — typically operating from May to October — is surrounded by fragrant pine forests yet remains within walking distance of the enchanting UNESCO‑listed town of Stari Grad. From terraced gardens to private coves to sweeping sea views, Maslina Resort feels worlds away from the island’s busier enclaves.

The resort’s 53 accommodations — ranging from elegant sea‑view rooms to expansive villas with private plunge pools — balance a sense of organic minimalism with subtle Croatian influences. At Terra Restaurant, Mediterranean flavors take center stage with a strong emphasis on local ingredients and seasonal produce. Meanwhile, Pharomatiq Wellness leans into Hvar’s restorative reputation with holistic treatments, native herbs and a sense of coastal calm. Lush gardens, two heated outdoor pools and a quiet stretch of shoreline invite slow mornings and starlit evenings by the Adriatic.

Our Inspector's Highlights

Unlike many Adriatic beach clubs where loungers bake in the sun, Maslina’s private beach features canopied lounge chairs and native Aleppo pines offering shade. Spend the afternoon reading, napping or swimming in clear turquoise water or simply unwind before sunset cocktails overlooking the bay.
Pharomatiq Wellness takes a holistic approach to well-being, incorporating elements of functional medicine alongside traditional therapies. You can simply book “time” with a therapist for a fully tailored experience, or browse the comprehensive menu, which spans sound healing, biomarker assessments, reflexology, Ayurvedic massage and Biologique Recherche facials. On clear days, outdoor yoga, boxing and stand-up paddleboarding sessions provide a memorable way to connect with Hvar’s incredible scenery.
An internal buggy service quietly ferries guests between hillside terraces, restaurants and the waterfront. Prefer to walk? A wooden boardwalk winds through Mediterranean vegetation, offering peaceful moments and scenic viewpoints throughout the property.
Maslina’s organic garden is more than a visual focal point. The Croatia resort’s chefs harvest herbs and vegetables daily, meaning the ingredients featured in dishes such as grilled striploin or cured amberjack may have been plucked moments before.
A gift to families traveling with children, The Playroom is particularly enchanting. Young explorers will find a climbing wall, board games, books on local art and culture, and curated activities organized by the resort team.

The Rooms

Across all 53 rooms and suites at the luxury hotel, interiors feel minimalist yet warm thanks to an abundance of wood and nods to Croatia throughout. Materials such as Brač stone — quarried from a neighboring island — terra cotta and brushed brass create an inviting, tactile connection to Hvar’s cultural and architectural heritage.
Organic cotton linens, spacious bathrooms with dual stone vanities, walk‑in showers and deep-soak tubs come standard. Meanwhile, indoor and outdoor sitting areas create a relaxed, residential feel.
Garden Rooms open onto private loggias framed by native greenery, while Panoramic Rooms feature spacious terraces overlooking Maslinica Bay. Starting from approximately 450 square feet, both provide a serene retreat immersed in the island's natural beauty.
In the aptly named Pool Suites, heated plunge pools overlook the Adriatic from expansive sun-kissed terraces — perfect for enjoying morning coffee or an evening glass of rosé while watching the light shift across the bay.
For families and groups seeking extra space and privacy, The Villas offer the most generous floor plans. In the Villa Uvala, for instance, you’ll find five separate bedrooms, as well as a sprawling sea view terrace, a private infinity pool, extensive living and dining areas, a gym and a Finnish sauna.
