The resort feels tucked away and peaceful, yet you\u2019re close enough to wander into town for bars, restaurants and marina life.

From here you can hop by catamaran to neighbouring Hvar, Kor\u010dula and Mljet, or even Dubrovnik, turning a simple beach holiday into a Dalmatian island-hopping adventure.

FAQs
Is Gava Waterman Milna Resort suitable for families?
Yes. Although the design is contemporary and resort-style, Gava Waterman Milna Resort is very family-friendly. There is a children\u2019s pool with slides, a kids\u2019 club for ages 4\u201312 years, a playground, family rooms and suites that sleep up to four, plus daytime and evening entertainment tailored to all ages.
What is included in the All Inclusive at Gava Waterman Milna Resort?
All Inclusive typically covers buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner in the main restaurant, snacks (including ice cream) at selected times between meals, and local wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks for at least 12 hours a day. Premium brands, certain cocktails or late-night service may cost extra. Inclusions can change by season, so always check the latest All Inclusive details on arrival.
How far is Gava Waterman Milna Resort from Milna town?
The resort is approximately 2.8km from Milna resort centre, where you\u2019ll find waterfront bars, restaurants and shops. A hotel-run shuttle service operates during the daytime (usually for a small local fee), or you can take a taxi or enjoy a longer coastal walk if you prefer.
Does Gava Waterman Milna Resort have a sandy beach?
The hotel itself is set on a rocky seafront with bathing platforms rather than a classic sandy beach, which is typical for many parts of the Dalmatian Coast. However, you get beautifully clear water for swimming and water sports, and there are pebbly coves and beaches on Brac Island that can be reached by local transport, taxi or boat.
Are there any extra charges guests should be aware of?
Many core facilities are included, but some services carry a local charge, such as the spa and beauty treatments, water sports, shuttle into Milna, pool towels (deposit), room safes and baby cots. City or tourist taxes may also be payable locally. Exact charges are set by the hotel and local authorities and can change without notice.
When is the best time to visit Gava Waterman Milna Resort?
For warm weather and the fullest activity and entertainment programme, late May to early September is ideal. Families often prefer school holiday periods, while couples might enjoy May, June or September for slightly quieter pools, milder temperatures and fewer crowds, with many facilities (including heated pools and indoor pool) still available.
Is Gava Waterman Milna Resort accessible for guests with reduced mobility?
The resort is spread across 17 low-rise blocks with one floor each and no lifts, and the grounds slope gently towards the sea. This layout, plus the rocky shoreline, means it may not be suitable for guests who rely heavily on wheelchairs or have significant mobility difficulties. If accessibility is a concern, speak to a Travelisto travel specialist so we can discuss your specific needs and advise on suitability or alternative options.
