Overview

 
Perched in a pine-framed private bay a short seafront stroll from Hvar Town, Hotel Amfora Grand Beach Resort brings a grown-up VIBE to Croatia’s most glamorous island. Think multi-level infinity pool with waterfalls and whirlpools, an on-site beach club, floor-to-ceiling sea views and contemporary rooms that make lazy mornings dangerously tempting. Add in waterside dining, bars and an easy hop into Hvar’s legendary nightlife, and you’ve got a Dalmatian escape that works as well for couples and friends as it does for stylish families.

A sweeping amphitheatre of terraces, palms and glossy blue pools cascading towards the Adriatic – Hotel Amfora Grand Beach Resort was made for sea-view days and sundowner selfies. Laze on a lounger at the multi-level infinity pool, wander down to the beach club for a cocktail by the water, then wander along the promenade into Hvar Town when the lights come up and the harbour starts to buzz. For couples and friends chasing Croatia’s island glamour, Hotel Amfora Grand Beach Resort puts you in the heart of it. Set in a peaceful bay yet just 800m from Hvar Town along the waterfront, it balances slow, sun-drenched days with easy access to late-night bars and restaurants. Expect the Dalmatian Coast’s glassy water, pine-scented air and a seriously photogenic pool scene – all around 4–5 hours from Split Airport including the ferry crossing. See more Croatia holidays.

Map & location


Hvar Island (Hvar Town), Split and Dalmatian Coast, Croatia

Tucked into a sheltered horseshoe bay on Hvar Island, Hotel Amfora looks straight across the Adriatic towards the Pakleni Islands. It feels resort-like and secluded, yet you’re just an 800m waterfront stroll from the action in Hvar Town – all terracotta rooftops, stone alleys and a yacht-filled harbour.

Spend the day sunbathing, sailing or paddle-boarding, then head into town for sunset cocktails on the promenade and dinner in atmospheric courtyards. Hike up to the 16th‑century fortress for wraparound harbour views, or hop a boat to nearby coves and rocky beaches for a change of scene. Hvar is famously glamorous – you’re in the same stomping ground that’s tempted A‑listers and yacht crews for years – but it still feels authentically Croatian at street level.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 4–5 hours from Split (SPU), including ferry crossing (time varies with ferry schedules and season).

Facilities

Pool & outdoors

• Seasonal opening (usually mid‑May to end of October, weather and occupancy dependent)

Just beyond the pool you’ll find a rocky-shelved beach and swimming platforms typical of the Dalmatian Coast, plus the on-site beach club and terraces – ideal for diving straight into the sea, lounging between swims or heading out on boat trips to hidden coves and the Pakleni Islands.
