Sometime in the late 1970s or early 1980s, someone photographed the lavender fields below Japjenica, about two kilometres east of Velo Grablje.

The image ended up on the cover of a booklet made by Hvar emigrants living in New Zealand. It is a handmade document of memory and longing, held together by the people who had left the island and needed something to remind them of what they had left behind.

The plantations in this photograph no longer exist. Devastating fires in 1997 and 2003 destroyed them entirely.

What remains is the village, the association Pjover, a group of young people with family roots in Velo Grablje who have spent years rebuilding the lavender heritage around it and the annual lavender festival that brings the island back to what it once smelled like.

The photograph is from the Auckland Council Libraries archive. We are so glad someone kept it.

In Dalmatian, dvor means courtyard. The place where people gather, stay awhile and come back to after everything else.

Cottage Dvor is built around one. It is a traditional stone cottage in the village of Dol, spanning 140m² across two floors, with a 400m² courtyard at its centre. There, you’ll find a 36m² pool, covered dining terrace, outdoor kitchen, pool billiard table, six sun loungers and a first-floor terrace with views over Dol's two church towers, one dating to the 15th century.

There are two bedrooms for up to six guests. The nearest beach is a few minutes by car. Hvar Town is twenty minutes away. The village feels centuries older than both.

The owners found it on one of many visits to Hvar and described it as love at first sight. Having seen it, we understand why.

Cottage Dvor is exclusively rented by Villas Hvar. Book your stay at [email protected].

Terra Arhaica is not an experience that only asks you to book. It asks you to participate.

In the village of Vrisnik, inside a 150-year-old Dalmatian stone house, a family has built something that sits well outside the usual tourist itinerary. Visitors step into a working version of island life as it was lived 200 years ago — grinding wheat on a stone mill, pressing grapes, learning how fishermen repaired nets, how figs were dried, how fish was preserved and how bread was baked in a kitchen that has been doing it forever,

The experience includes a tasting of fresh bread, olive oil, wine and traditional island sweets — paprenjak, hrustula, candied almonds and figs — made from family old recipes.

For couples, there's a private candlelit dinner under 101 candles in a rustic tavern, an old Dalmatian kitchen or a hidden cave, with optional live baroque lute and the possibility of an overnight stay.

Cooking classes, lavender workshops and private tastings are also available by reservation.

We book this for our guests. Get in touch and we'll arrange it for you at [email protected]. Learn more about the experience here: https://villashvar.com/en/blog/terra-arhaica-200-years-of-hvar-in-one-afternoon

At the bottom of Villa Thalassa's garden, a small stone staircase leads directly into the sea. That one detail tells you most of what you need to know about this place.

The villa sits in the Rosohotnica cove near Basina, on the quieter northern coast of Hvar. It’s a 2,500m² Mediterranean estate with oleanders, pine trees, agave, lavender and rosemary between the house and the water.

It was built in 2000, 210m² across multiple levels, with three bedrooms each opening onto their own terrace and a living room with a fully glass-lined wall that makes the sea feel like a fourth wall.

The interior is a considered mix of shabby bohemian chic and contemporary. The owners have an eye for high-quality fabrics and warm detail that gives the whole place a very particular feeling.

There is even a wine fridge, an outdoor handmade stone fireplace, two dining terraces, a wooden sun deck and a kitchen that opens straight outside.

Hvar Town is five minutes away by car. The cove has no crowds. This villa is rented by Villas Hvar; lock in your stay at [email protected].

Our collection just grew. Meet Villa Katina.

Sućuraj sits at the far eastern end of Hvar, where the tourists thin out and the coastline gets its full attention back. Villa Katina is built right on it.

Settle into 305m² of contemporary island living across two floors, with large glass walls opening to the sea on every level.

There is a 50m² heated infinity pool and whirlpool bath overlooking the Adriatic. Four bedrooms, a cascading Mediterranean garden and enough bicycles, kayaks and standup paddleboards to fill your days.

The centre of town is only 800 metres away. The rest of the world feels considerably further.

Villa Katina is brand new to the Villas Hvar collection. Book your stay at [email protected].
