Hvar in Croatia is a destination that Island Escapes plans for couples and families, with a focus on seclusion and privacy.

Updated: 5 November 2026.
Why this trip
Lavender fields, stone houses and bays that can only be reached by boat or on foot: Hvar shows a second side beside the bustle of the harbour town. The island off the Dalmatian coast is long and green, and anyone who leaves the car behind finds quiet paths. Hvar Town has the Španjola fortress, which sits above the harbour and offers a view over rooftops and islands. The climb on foot is worth doing before the midday heat.
The Carpe Diem Beach Club is more for lively evenings, a couple looking for privacy chooses a bay outside instead. The Castle Viewpoint and the open viewpoint reward short walks. With Beach Bay Hvar Hotel and Amfora Hvar Grand Beach Resort, two properties are listed in the catalogue. The best months are May to June and September to October, when the sea is warm and the towns are not full.
In high summer the stillness moves to the side bays. With a scooter or a hired boat you explore the south coast, quieter than the harbour. How you spread the days is something you discuss in a video call.
