Croatia: Maslina Resort, Hvar
Mindful Luxury on Croatia’s Sunniest Island
Maslina Resort sits on Hvar, long known as Croatia's sunniest island, and the resort's own philosophy of Mindful Luxury shows in nearly everything: rooms, suites, and villas built from natural materials like terracotta and Brač Island stone, and grounds anchored by a 7,000 sqm organic garden that supplies the kitchens with hand-harvested, seasonal ingredients. The whole property is designed to slow guests down rather than entertain them into exhaustion.
That same philosophy carries into Pharomatiq Wellness Sanctuary, where sound healing therapy is one of the standout draws among a full menu of treatments. Two infinity pools and a separate family pool cover the practical side of a beach holiday, with The Restaurant serving modern Mediterranean plates and A-Bay Beach Bar handling casual meals by the sea. Families are genuinely well looked after too, with a Kid's Club offering a climbing wall and pizza-making classes, a children's playroom, and babysitting available on request.
