Modern hideaway in Hvar
The ultra-modern Pharos Hvar Bayhill Hotel is perched on a patch of land that’s nestled between two of Hvar’s stunning bays. From the industrial-chic décor in the lobby bar to the Pop art features in the rooms, this hotel gets it spot in when it comes to interiors. The location is a winner, too – it’s just a 10-minute walk from the centre of Hvar, where you’ll find the St Stephen’s Cathedral, the town square, and the Hvar Public Theatre.
Ready to relax? Go for a dip in the curvy pool and then kick back on one of the poolside loungers or daybeds with a refreshing drink from the poolside snack bar. Alternatively, take the 10-minute wander down to the seafront. If that sounds too slow-paced, use the al fresco gym for a workout.
When it comes to mealtimes, the hotel’s restaurant has got you covered. Expect a sprawling buffet for breakfast, and an à la carte menu of international dishes for lunch and dinner. The lobby bar, meanwhile, keeps the drinks coming after the pool bar shuts for the night.
Your journey to the hotel will include a transfer from Split Airport to Split Port, where you'll wait for the next available ferry to take to Hvar Island. Just so you know, you'll need to carry your own luggage on and off the ferry, which will include a flight of steps. The crossing takes approximately 120 mins. From the port on Hvar Island, you'll take a transfer to your chosen accommodation. The same applies for your return journey. Please note, the total transfer time of approximately 3.5 hours does not include your wait time for the ferry.

Find out more about Island Hvar
Among the 1,000+ islands scattered around the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Croatia, Hvar is arguably the most dazzling of all, boasting a unique blend of spectacular scenery, pulsating nightlife, and ancient coastal towns steeped in rich cultural heritage. It's one of the sunniest destinations in Europe, too.
Hvar Town draws the biggest crowds thanks to its ornate Venetian architecture, stylish hotels, fabulous restaurants and trendy beach clubs – but there’s plenty more to explore beyond the glamorous capital. Tucked away at the end of a forested bay on the north side of the island, Stari Grad feels like a town frozen in time, albeit with the addition of buzzing bars and restaurants dotted among its mazy cobblestone streets and squares.
Around the coast, you’ll find endless rocky inlets with calm, crystal clear waters, while a sprawling patchwork of lavender fields, olive groves and vineyards carpets the land around the island’s rugged, mountainous interior.
