10 Best Hotels
Hvar combines a lively harbour town with quieter bays, vineyards and old stone villages. In Hvar Town, climb to Fortica for the view, explore the historic theatre and follow the waterfront past the Franciscan monastery. Boats connect the town with the wooded Pakleni Islands, while Stari Grad offers a gentler base on the island’s northern coast. Summer brings busy terraces and late nights; outside the main season, check ferry connections and restaurant opening dates before making plans.
Maslina Resort
Stari Grad, Croatia
Maslina sits in Maslinica Bay near Stari Grad, with rooms, suites and villas designed around natural materials and sea views. The setting encourages a slower stay, with wellness treatments, waterside dining and space for families to spend time together. Choose it when quiet surroundings matter more than walking into Hvar Town each evening. Compare the individual accommodation categories carefully, and arrange transfers around the ferry port that best suits your arrival.
Contemporary coastal design
Palace Elisabeth
Hvar Town, Croatia
Palace Elisabeth occupies one of Hvar Town’s most prominent positions, overlooking the main square beside the historic loggia. The hotel combines heritage architecture with contemporary rooms, a spa, pool and dining at San Marco. Staying here puts the harbour and old-town lanes close at hand, while the terraces offer a comfortable place to watch the town unfold. Specify your preferred outlook when booking, as a central address does not guarantee the same view from every room.

Adriana Hvar Spa Hotel
Hvar Town, Croatia
Adriana faces Hvar’s marina, with the old town across the water and a rooftop pool above the waterfront. Its substantial spa makes it a good choice for visitors who want treatments and relaxation alongside sightseeing and boat trips. The location brings restaurants and harbour life into easy reach, although that also means the surrounding streets can stay lively. Check room orientation and the spa arrangements for your chosen stay if quiet or particular facilities matter.

Hotel Moeesy
Hvar Town, Croatia
Moeesy offers a calmer setting along Hvar’s seaside promenade, surrounded by pine trees and Mediterranean gardens. Three heated pools and wellness facilities make it easy to spend a day at the hotel, with the sea close by and the historic centre within walking distance. The property welcomes guests aged fourteen and above. Room layouts differ noticeably: some have balconies and sea views, while the roof room uses a skylight rather than a conventional window.
Gardens and pools
Riva Marina Hvar Hotel
Hvar Town, Croatia
Riva Marina is for travellers who want Hvar’s harbour life immediately outside the door. The boutique hotel occupies a historic waterfront building, with rooms and a social terrace looking towards the marina. BB Social Bar & Kitchen adds a convenient place for a drink or meal between excursions. Choose a marina-view category if the outlook is central to the appeal, and expect a lively setting rather than the seclusion of an outlying beach resort.
Waterfront atmosphere
Amfora Hvar Grand Beach Resort
Hvar Town, Croatia
Amfora spreads around a bay west of Hvar’s centre, with a large cascading pool and a resort atmosphere that suits a stay divided between swimming and sightseeing. The coastal route connects it with the harbour, giving guests access to town without sleeping directly on the busy waterfront. This is a larger property than Hvar’s boutique hotels, with a broad choice of accommodation. Compare room categories and views before booking, particularly when travelling as a family.

Beach Bay Hvar Hotel
Hvar Town, Croatia
Beach Bay occupies a quieter waterfront position within Hvar Town, with a pebble beach directly outside and rooms facing the sea. It suits visitors who want morning swims without committing to an isolated resort or a daily drive into town. The hotel’s scale and location make it a straightforward base for exploring on foot. Check the room and terrace details carefully, and confirm seasonal opening dates before arranging an early-spring or late-autumn stay.
Beach access close to the centre
Podstine Boutique Beach Resort
Hvar Town, Croatia
Podstine sits above a rocky bay edged by palms and mature pines, away from Hvar Town’s busiest waterfront. Its beach terraces and swimming access are the main reason to stay, with spa treatments and Restaurant Amo providing options on site. A pedestrian coastal path links the property with town. Choose it for sea-focused days and a quieter evening setting, and discuss the steps and terrain directly if straightforward access to the water is essential.
A sheltered bay
Hotel Fortuna
Milna, Croatia
Hotel Fortuna stands by the beach in Milna, around five kilometres from Hvar Town. The family-run hotel offers a different rhythm from the harbourfront addresses, with the village and sea shaping the day. It is a useful choice for visitors who plan to spend more time swimming than following the town’s nightlife. Arrange transport for evening visits to Hvar and compare room outlooks before booking, especially if a direct sea view is important.
A village beach base
Heritage Hotel Park Hvar
Hvar Town, Croatia
Hotel Park puts Hvar’s harbour and old-town streets within easy walking distance. Its rooms and suites combine historic stonework with modern comforts, with a choice of town or sea views. For more space, consider a suite with a separate sitting room; selected categories also have balconies overlooking the harbour. A garden terrace, restaurant and cocktail bar make it easy to settle in after exploring. Confirm the exact room layout and arrival arrangements when booking.
