Dining on the island is all about simplicity and quality, with an emphasis on olive oil, seafood, herbs, and locally grown produce. Some must-try dishes include:

Pašticada: A classic Croatian beef dish, marinated and slow-cooked in a rich sauce with wine and herbs, typically served with homemade gnocchi.
Black Risotto (Crni Rižot): Made with cuttlefish or squid and cuttlefish ink, this creamy risotto is a local favorite found in many seaside restaurants.
Grilled Fresh Fish & Seafood: Daily catches such as sea bream, sea bass, and octopus are simply grilled and served with olive oil, lemon, and local vegetables.
Peka: A traditional Dalmatian specialty where meat or seafood and vegetables are slow-cooked under a bell-shaped lid, resulting in tender, flavorful dishes often shared between guests.
Alongside its cuisine, Hvar is known for excellent local drinks and wines. Be sure to try:

Flying to Hvar is simple, although the island does not have its own airport. Most visitors arrive via Split Airport (SPU), which is well connected with direct flights from major UK, European, and seasonal US hubs, especially during the spring and summer months.
From Split Airport, it’s an easy journey to Hvar by ferry or catamaran. You can reach Split’s ferry port by taxi, private transfer, or bus, then take a regular boat service to Hvar Town. The crossing is scenic and takes around 1–2 hours, depending on the service.
Alternatively, some travelers choose to fly into Dubrovnik Airport and continue by ferry or road and boat connections, though Split remains the most straightforward and popular option.
Driving is useful for villas outside Hvar Town, especially for reaching beaches, vineyards and villages across the island. Roads can be narrow, winding and steep, and parking is limited in some historic centres, so review the property’s parking and arrival instructions before travelling.
Cars reach Hvar mainly via the Split to Stari Grad ferry or the Drvenik to Sućuraj crossing. Stari Grad is generally more convenient for western and central island stays, while Sućuraj may suit properties in the east. Distances can take longer than they appear on a map, so choose the ferry port around the villa location rather than sailing time alone.”

Selected villas feature balconies, sun terraces, infinity pools and outdoor dining areas positioned to make the most of the outlook. A panoramic view does not always mean direct beach access, so compare the map, elevation and route to the coast before booking.
Choose a hillside villa for wider views and greater seclusion, or a lower coastal setting for easier access to swimming spots, harbours and waterfront restaurants. Property details vary, so check which bedrooms and outdoor areas have the advertised view
