With just one glance at Maslina Resort's website, one quickly becomes aware of the attention-to-detail philosophy behind this extravagant rental. Whether traveling with a family, a certain someone, or on a solo trip, the hosts ensured it met everyone's needs, from the exclusive location on the historic island of Hvar, aesthetics, and comfort to plentiful activities. Every step is well thought out.
Located by the bay and surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, this 5-star hotel complex amounts to 53 rooms and three villas. All the properties are equipped with upscale amenities and offer breathtaking views, enough to pamper even the most demanding guests—the dream of every individual searching for hedonism.
Conscious Design: A Blend of Chic and Local Authenticity
We mentioned the thoughtful approach to the resort's design. That translates to the attempt to adapt contemporary architecture to its local environment. Therefore, the exterior and interior spaces are joined in a perfect marriage between modern French style and Mediterranean flair. The intention was to pay homage to the breathtaking island nature and its resources using natural materials and a matching color palette. In other words, the space and nature blend in perfectly, almost creating the optical illusion as if they were one. Envision a play of colors in which blue, green, and earthy tones prevail, creating a calming and peaceful ambiance—serenity at its best.

Advocating a Sustainable and Healthy Lifestyle
Maslina Resort is committed to promoting a more sustainable way of life by supporting the local economy and protecting wildlife. All the materials and supplies come from local providers, with a strong emphasis on energy efficiency. There's zero plastic usage, and all the amenities and cosmetics are natural. The restaurant provides a 'from farm to table' menu prepared by French Michelin-starred chef Serge Gouloumes, offering a variety of well-balanced plates from organic ingredients.
Mind, Body, and Soul Experience
The mind, body, and soul nurture experience is enhanced by the rich selection of activities such as kayaking, sailing, and trekking. The main star, though, is Pharomatiq Spa wellness, where you can take up on series of wellness programs whose sole purpose is to lead you through a transformational journey. Get a massage, join a fitness class or perhaps opt for yoga and meditation. The youngest get their fair share of various activities such as art & crafts, music games, movie nights, clown visits, and many more.
UNESCO-Protected World Heritage Sites
Lastly, what might be the best selling point is the actual island itself, as in location, location, and location. Surrounded by intact nature, exposed to fresh air and summer breeze coming from the Adriatic evokes a serene feeling of relaxation and disconnection. Considering that Stari Grad falls under the UNESCO-protected World Heritage sites, revisiting the culture of ancient Greece times, you may quickly get teleported to another era to get that real sense of escapism.
If this sounds like something right up your alley, you should consider not holding off for too long, as it gets booked up quite quickly. Reserve your spot on time!
