Maslina Resort

Relais & Chateaux member Maslina Resort is a Mindful Luxury 5-star resort on the Croatian island of Hvar, located near the 2400-year-old town of Stari Grad.

Situated in the stunning Maslinica Bay, Maslina is surrounded by olive groves and stretches across two hectares of lush pine forest overlooking the crystalline Adriatic Sea. Boasting 50 rooms & suites and 3 luxurious villas, Maslina holds wellness, family, culinary arts, cultural heritage, and authenticity at its core.

Maslina Resort is driven by its Mindful Luxury philosophy - the alchemy between personal and professional service, a stunning location, sincere respect for the environment, and an interior design that is contemporary and chic, yet family-friendly. Mindful Luxury promises respectful high-end hospitality motivated by the rich cultural and natural heritage of Hvar Island.

The Mindful Luxury philosophy is reflected in each detail of the guest experience; the non-intrusive architecture blends in with the island environment; trees have been reforested and native species protected, and the interior and exterior coalesce, honoring the natural world in place by celebrating the beauty in the local materials used. Maslina Resort strongly encourages energy efficiency and procurement practices that promote local and regional suppliers. The resort’s cuisine delights the senses thanks to organic, seasonal, and local ingredients and its signature in-room guest amenities and natural spa cosmetics are locally designed, non-toxic, and made without any plastics.

The Mindful Luxury philosophy is evident not only in the service but throughout the design of its facilities. The vision was to create architecture that fosters a sense of wellbeing and a connection to nature and community.

Maslina Resort fuses classic Mediterranean styles with contemporary French touches, respecting the existing island nature as the foundation of the design philosophy.

To cultivate the same feeling the designers had upon first visiting Maslinica Bay, native and local species are used to maintain the landscape language, where wild Mediterranean vegetation thrives thanks to thick Aleppo pines, mature olive trees, and fragrant herb bushes. The landscape is linked with the colors of the materials, which are all-natural and locally sourced.

The low-intrusive architecture floats on the landscape like scattered pavilions, decorated with a ventilated wooden facade that blends in with the island environment. The integrated interior design is inspired by the four elements of nature, which helped construct a palette driven by the cerulean Adriatic Sea, salty summer breeze, pearly white rocks, and dense green forest.

Local Brac Island stone, exotic Iroko wood, brushed brass, and tones of terracotta are harmonized with the natural color scheme, while custom-made interiors and carefully handpicked vintage pieces complete a space that is intimate, comfortable, and delicately designed with the guest in mind.

Its facilities include Pharomatiq Wellness, The Restaurant, The Bar, A-Bay Beach Bar, The Organic Garden & The Beach Tent.

Maslina Resort officially opened on August 16, 2020.
