 Places Hvar by Valamar 

Peace, tranquillity and a pebble beach

A sanctuary with spectacular sea views, a freshwater pool and action-packed activities for all

Footed by a pine-shaded pebble beach and lush scenery whichever way you turn, Places Hvar by Valamar is simply breathtaking.  Take a short stroll into Stari Grad, where the historic streets lend a glimpse into times gone by, before heading back to laze by the ocean. Foodies will get their flavour fix at a trio of restaurants and bars, while fun-loving types can get stuck into a range of poolside activities. The entire resort is centred around a commitment to sustainability, with eco-friendly touches and an ‘outside-in’ vibe to the earthy decor. When there’s nothing but relaxation on your mind, Places Spa offers a menu of soul-soothing pamper treatments and if you fancy a change of scenery, the crystal clear waters of Lanterna Beach are just a mile away.
