At Maslina Resort, the earth tells a tale of endurance. It speaks through the crimson hues of terracotta, embodying the fertile soil of Hvar Island and the bounty it bestows. From this inspiration, we named our restaurant Terra — a homage to the ground beneath our feet and the life it nurtures.
Mother Earth, the eternal giver, shapes the land with patient hands, pressing sun into soil, wind into waves, and roots into the depths below. She is Terra — her breath lingers in the scent of rosemary drifting through the air, her pulse beats in the golden nectar of the olive tree, and her spirit hums in the vineyards stretching towards the sky.
Terracotta, with its rich, sunbaked essence, is woven into the soul of Terra. The terracotta tiles underfoot mirror the Stari Grad Plain’s reddish soil, grounding each step in the spirit of the land. Black Italian terracotta graces the walls, a bold contrast that echoes the island’s depths. Together, these elements create a space rooted in our retreat, echoing our philosophy of Mindful Luxury.
The story of Terra extends beyond its walls, reaching into the very heart of Hvar. From olive groves swaying under the Mediterranean sun to vineyards basking on gentle slopes, Hvar’s gifts are plentiful. Hundreds of herbs, such as rosemary and sage, flourish here, infused with the salty Adriatic breeze. Embracing the UNESCO-protected Mediterranean diet, these treasures find their way onto your plate. Every bite carries the essence of Hvar, respecting the land that gave life to Maslina Resort.
At Terra, we honor an earth-to-plate philosophy, where each dish connects you to the rhythms of nature. The olives, the grapes, and the wild herbs are not just ingredients; they are stories, traditions, and a testament to the richness of the island.
