Learn more about Hvar

Between the lavender-scented hills and crystal Adriatic waters, a medieval town unfolds like a historical treasure map. Climb to Hvar Fortress for panoramic views that explain why Venetians fought to control this strategic harbor. The 1612 theater – one of Europe's oldest – anchors a cultural scene that would impress cities ten times its size. By day, sail to the Pakleni Islands' hidden coves where the water shifts between impossible shades of blue. After sunset, the harbor transforms as yachts disgorge beautiful people into seafront bars. For a quieter experience, explore the stone lanes behind St. Stephen's Square, where locals tend centuries-old family homes. The beaches at Mekicevica and Pokonji Dol offer perfect swimming without the crowds of the main harbor.

Additionally, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, maximising your chances to save. The Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you make informed choices. By staying alert, you could be among the first to know when prices drop or new rooms become available for your last-minute escape.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can vary due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating and time of year, so being flexible with your dates may help you save on your stay in a Hvar hotel. Boutique hotels, which often offer a more personal experience, could provide a more unique and potentially better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your selected dates is above or below average, and if it is on the higher side, we might suggest more affordable dates to help you find a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually command higher prices, but thanks to Hvar's excellent public transport links, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel further afield that remains well connected. For those wishing to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
