The sunniest European island

Fascinating archaeological finds from Markova and Grapčeva Caves suggest the far-reaching history of Hvar, dating as far back as ancient times. Its rich history is further highlighted by the establishment of Stari Grad by ancient Greeks, who also partitioned the Stari Grad Plain. This site proudly graces the UNESCO World Heritage List, giving testimony to its heritage.

Following in the steps of the Greeks, the Romans also left their indelible mark on Hvar, constructing mansion-like country houses. Later, under Venetian rule, Hvar acquired a distinctly recognisable appearance and culture that it retains to date.

Hvar’s nightlife is an exhilarating blend of sophistication and laid-back Mediterranean charm, making it a magnet for both the jet set and those seeking to soak in the island’s vibrant energy. As the sun dips below the horizon, Hvar transforms into a pulsating activity hub. The picturesque promenades and ancient squares buzz with life, hosting open-air cafés, chic bars and exclusive clubs.

The town of Hvar is particularly famed for its glamorous nightlife scene, where the elite moor their yachts and the night air is filled with music, laughter and the clinking of glasses. If you prefer tranquil retreats away from the hustle, the quaint towns of Stari Grad, Jelsa and Vrboska offer the perfect combination of culture, local experiences and relaxation.

Yet, Hvar’s allure extends beyond its dynamic nightlife and storied past; the island invites you into an extraordinary embrace of nature. The crystal-clear sea sparkles in the sunlight, unveiling charming coves nestled among ancient pine forests. In the distance, lavender fields perfume the air with their captivating scent, creating a serene atmosphere for relaxation. Coupled with a delicious and healthy Mediterranean cuisine, Hvar is bound to captivate your senses.
