Maslina Resort
Hvar Island (Stari Grad) | Croatia
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tucked into a pine-fringed bay on Hvar’s tranquil north coast, Maslina Resort is a low-rise, design-led hideaway that feels more like a private estate than a hotel. Think timber, stone and glass architecture that melts into the landscape, suites and villas that spill out onto terraces and pools, and a holistic spa and wellness concept that makes this one of Croatia’s most exciting addresses for honeymoons, special occasions and slow, stylish escapes.
Infinity edges that seem to merge with the Adriatic, sun-dappled decks between aromatic pines, and interiors dressed in soft linens and natural textures: Maslina Resort has mastered laidback Mediterranean luxury. Days here drift between the beachfront promenade, healing rituals at Pharomatiq Wellness and sundowners in the sleek cocktail bar, with views that stretch across Maslinica Bay to the Kabal Peninsula.
For couples and style-conscious travellers seeking Croatia’s coastal charm without the crowds, Maslina Resort is a standout choice on Hvar’s north coast. It’s around 4–5 hours from Split Airport (including the scenic ferry crossing) and pairs beautifully with a night or two in Split. See more Croatia holidays.

Maslina Resort sits on a peaceful, pine-backed bay just outside Stari Grad on Hvar’s quieter north coast. This side of the island is all stone villages, vineyards and olive groves, with sparkling pebble beaches instead of crowded promenades.
Stari Grad itself is one of the oldest towns in Europe, a UNESCO-listed maze of honey-hued lanes and baroque churches. From the resort you can wander along the waterfront, hop by boat to nearby coves, or spend a day in glamorous Hvar Town before retreating to Maslina’s slow-paced sanctuary.

Restaurants and Bars
Maslina’s gastronomic focus is firmly on fresh, seasonal Dalmatian produce and refined yet relaxed dining.
The main restaurant serves a creative menu of international and local dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with à la carte choices and thought for all generations – from fine plates to a dedicated kids’ menu and highchairs for younger guests. Expect line-caught fish, island vegetables and Croatian wines, all framed by those enchanting bay views.
A sophisticated cocktail bar pours signature drinks and local wines from late morning until late evening (typically 11:00–23:00, seasonal dates), ideal for pre-dinner aperitifs or a nightcap under the stars.
Please note: a smart dress code may apply in the evening, and restaurant/bar opening dates, menus, supplements and reservation policies can vary by season and board basis.
Pool Areas and Beach
The resort’s outdoor heated freshwater pool is the social heart of Maslina, edged by cushioned sunbeds and parasols and gazing out over Maslinica Bay. Heated between roughly May and October (subject to weather), it’s ideal for a gentle morning swim or a lazy afternoon float.
Complimentary pool towels are provided, and the adjacent sunbathing deck weaves through natural landscaping to keep the mood relaxed and low-key.
A short stroll brings you to the waterfront and nearby beach, where the Adriatic’s famously clear waters invite dips, paddleboarding and boat trips to surrounding coves.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
Wellness is at the core of Maslina’s philosophy. At Pharomatiq Wellness (partly off-site but run in harmony with the resort concept), you’ll find:
• Sauna, steam room and Turkish bath
• Holistic massages and body treatments*
• Beauty rituals, facials and tailored programmes*
Fitness fans have access to an air-conditioned gym (around 07:00–19:00, seasonal) with cardio equipment, free weights and stretching space, ideal for a pre-breakfast workout.
Families are well looked after with a children’s club (0–12 years), generally offering arts and crafts, small team games, sports and water-based fun from around 09:00–17:00 (seasonal, and opening days can vary with occupancy).
Additional conveniences include a 24-hour reception with concierge-style support, luggage storage and charging for mobility scooters, plus thoughtful, design-led lounges and outdoor terraces to relax in between adventures.
