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.
Why we love Places Hvar by Valamar
-
It’s perfectly located at the foot of a pebbled beach, so you’re free to start and end every day with a calming ocean stroll
-
The hotel is committed to sustainability, with an eco-focused approach at its core
-
It’s got all the appeal of a secluded oasis, but with plenty to see and do all within easy reach
-
There are pet-friendly rooms available, so you can bring your furry friends and family members along for the adventure
Rooms
Nine different types of rooms offer a private sanctuary for you to kick back and unwind at the end of each day. The decor is neutral and calming with lots of earthy textures, and most rooms come with the added bonus of glittering pool or sea views. For couples, the rooms for two are cosy yet luxurious, with organic toiletries, a flat screen television and sun-soaked balconies as standard. There are more spacious rooms for larger groups and if you’re keen to level up the luxury, the seaview villa has its very own private pool, giving you an authentic VIP experience.
