Approaching by chartered speedboat, you’d be forgiven for not spotting the rustic stone and wood structures that make up Maslina Resort from the shoreline. Blending seamlessly into the rock-fringed coastline and dense Aleppo pines, Maslina has been camouflaged to coexist harmoniously with Hvar island’s natural elements.

The hotel complex greets you with grand stone steps, building anticipation for what awaits at the top. The impressive white marble stone that acts as a reception desk has been here long before the land was purchased, and now adds to the wow factor.
