PAKLENI ISLANDS · HVAR · CROATIA
A world apart.Just off Hvar.
Pine-scented islands. Unhurried lunches. A different shade of the Adriatic. Discover the Pakleni Islands and the exceptional side of Hvar.
AN ARCHIPELAGO, NOT AN ITINERARY
The luxury of
being elsewhere.
Leave the waterfront behind. Between the pines and the open sea, the islands invite a slower kind of day: one beautiful bay, one long lunch, nowhere else you need to be.
An independent guide connecting the archipelago’s character with Hvar’s distinctive stays, tables and experiences. Less scrolling. Better choices.

THE ART OF DOING LESS
Stay for
the long lunch.
A table above the water. The shade of a pine. A bottle chosen for the place, not the label. On Palmižana, lunch deserves an afternoon without other plans.

A little knowledge.
A better escape.

Island explorer
Palmižana
Palmižana is a place on Sveti Klement, not a separate island. The ACI marina is on the northern side; Vinogradišće bay and several dining addresses lie to the south. Name your exact restaurant or landing point when arranging a boat. A transfer does not automatically include both shores.
Read the storySveti Klement
The largest island of the archipelago deserves more than a brief stop. Palmižana is only part of Sveti Klement; Vlaka offers another point of reference. Decide whether you want a swim, a table, a walk or an overnight stay, then choose a suitable arrival with your boat operator.
Read the storyMarinkovac
Ždrilca and Mlini offer a different starting point from Stipanska, associated with Carpe Diem Beach. These are not interchangeable moods. Tell your operator whether you want a quieter swim or an organised beach-club afternoon, and agree a specific landing. A photograph of an empty cove cannot predict your date’s atmosphere.
Read the storyJerolim
Jerolim is associated with Hvar’s naturist tradition. Come for the shoreline and a less formal relationship with the sea, not an assumption of resort services. Naturism calls for courtesy: respect personal space and never photograph other visitors without their clear consent. A quiet cove is not a private beach.
