Hvar is an island where time stops, where the realities of the modern world are renewed with the relics of the past. It is a place where rural architecture meets untouched nature, where ancient history mingles with the tales of seasoned fishers and local shopkeepers. A soulful balance of culture, customs, and contemporary creations, Hvar captivates conscious travelers driven by mindful and meaningful experiences.  

The history of Hvar dates back to 384 BC when Greek settlers built the first island settlement on the Adriatic. The ancient city of Pharos, modernly known as Stari Grad, was the capital of the island that today boasts six UNESCO World Heritage protections - Stari Grad Plain, ‘Following the Cross’ Procession, Agave Lace from Benedictine Nuns, the famous Mediterranean Diet, Klapa Singing, and the art of Dry Stone Walling.

Not only does Hvar own the most UNESCO heritage of any island in the world, but it is home to Europe’s first public theatre and is the birthplace of organized tourism in Europe, with tourism based on health and recuperation. Moreover, it has been a favorite wellness destination since the Austro-Hungarian era. Hidden in Hvar’s hills are historical sites and remote villages. Some sit on hilltops, some are abandoned, some have survived for 2,000 years, while olive oil and wine production rule others. All, however, are magical.

Hvar today is an Adriatic hotspot that is increasingly on the radar of discerning travelers around the world. Welcoming 2,800 sunshine hours per year, it is Croatia’s sunniest island and one of the most happening destinations in Europe. Known for its quaint fishing towns, remote villages, sparkling bays, pebbled beaches, and hillsides carpeted in olive trees, grapevines, and ancient dry stone walls, Hvar’s beauty is only part of its allure.

Hvar can delight travelers driven by Mediterranean gastronomy and party-goers powered by nightclubbing until the early morning hours. It flourishes thanks to a steadily evolving culinary scene, which is complemented by age-old recipes passed down from generations and contemporary chefs bringing new wind to Croatian classics. Hvar’s world-renowned party scene is perfected by top DJs, swanky clubs, and floating festivals on yachts, which amplify the island from day to night.

Hvar is heaven for adventure enthusiasts year-round, who have a range of recreational activities to explore on the island. Whether it's sailing around the Pakleni Islands, cycling up to the St. Nicholas Peak to catch a clear view of Italy, wandering through the UNESCO-protected Stari Grad Plain, or hiking the medieval trail from Velo Grablje to Malo Grablje, there is an adventure-packed activity fit for everyone. Several sporting events also enhance the island towns.
