Why go

About Maslina Resort
Maslina Resort in Stari Grad is best assessed on the verified facts available: it has a smart-casual dress code and a recognition profile that includes Michelin 1 Key in 2025, La Liste Top Hotels 2026 at 92.5 points, a Relais Chateaux Award in 2026, a Mr & Mrs Smith Seal of Approval in 2026, Virtuoso Luxury Hotel Partner status in 2026.
Because detailed claims about rooms, facilities, dining format, prices, service specifics are not verified here, the safest booking approach is to compare it as a credentialed Stari Grad resort rather than rely on unconfirmed extras. If the stay depends on a particular room type, amenity, or itinerary fit, confirm those details directly before booking.
Choose the stay only after confirming what matters
The room question should be handled practically: if Maslina Resort is intended to anchor the trip, confirm the option that gives you the level of comfort and private space you need. If the hotel is mainly a base for time elsewhere in Stari Grad, check the essentials before committing.
That is also where comparison helps. At B&B Heritage Villa Apolon, the appeal is another Stari Grad stay. Maslina Resort has verified Michelin 1 Key, La Liste, Relais Chateaux, Mr & Mrs Smith, Virtuoso credentials here.

Inside Maslina Resort
barA-Bay Beach BarA-Bay Beach Bar brings Stari Grad’s coastal-drinking culture into the resort era: casual, music-led, and built around fruit-focused cocktails, champagne, rosé, and views toward the Kabal peninsula. Chef Bogomil Kriz gives the creative-cooking label a food-led spine, but the main draw is the Adriatic rhythm: promenade, sunset, glassware, and an easy shift from beach hour to dinner mood.
restaurantTerra Restaurant by Maslina ResortTerra Restaurant sits within Maslina Resort on the northern coast of Hvar, earning a Michelin Plate in 2025 for its Mediterranean cooking rooted in Dalmatian olive culture and island produce. The setting, a terraced stone property above a sheltered bay in Stari Grad, places it among a small tier of Croatian island restaurants working at serious culinary ambition. Priced at €€€, it occupies the upper-mid bracket of the Adriatic dining scene.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Maslina Resort reads as an exercise in restraint: low-slung pavilions slip into two hectares of Aleppo pines and mature olive groves so the architecture feels like an extension of the coastline rather than an imposition on it. The editorial places ecological sensitivity at the heart of the experience, and the property's Relais & Châteaux membership and high La Liste score mark it as quietly premium. Seclusion on Maslinica Bay—and a deliberately modest visual presence—creates a calm, unforced luxury that favors natural materials, privacy and landscape over spectacle.
Best For
The resort's small scale, bay-side siting and emphasis on privacy make it especially well suited to intimate escapes—honeymoons and romantic getaways—while its restrained, restorative setting supports wellness-focused stays. With 53 rooms, suites and three villas set away from Hvar's busy harbour, it also accommodates family vacations that value calm and seclusion. The in-house culinary programme framed around 'Garden, Sea, and Dalmatian Provenance' positions Maslina as a destination for guests who prioritize thoughtful dining as part of their stay.
Stay Tips
Book well in advance: Maslina's modest inventory and the island's high-season pressure mean rooms and villas move quickly. Request bay-side accommodations if waterfront proximity matters—the copy highlights 'bay-side positioning' and arrival by water. Reserve dining early as the property foregrounds a focused culinary programme ('Garden, Sea, and Dalmatian Provenance') rather than broad amenity sprawl. Note the location is outside UNESCO-listed Stari Grad on Hvar's quieter western side—arrange transfers or boat arrivals accordingly to make the most of the estate grounds and seclusion.

Hotel context
How it compares
Maslina Resort is the splurge choice around Stari Grad when the priority is a quieter resort stay rather than a small heritage base. B&B Heritage Villa Apolon is the better fit for travellers who want a more compact, town-oriented stay and expect to spend less time in the room. Choose Maslina for space and calm; choose Villa Apolon for simpler logistics around Stari Grad.
Littlegreenbay Hotel and Hotel Moeesy, Blue & Green Oasis sit closer to the boutique-resort lane, so they are sensible cross-shops if Maslina is full or pricing pushes too high. Maslina is the safer pick for a polished, recognition-backed stay; the alternatives may suit travellers who want a smaller-feeling property or a different island base.
Palace Elisabeth Hvar Hotel is the stronger comparison for travellers who want Hvar Town energy and a more central social setting. Kastil is the value-minded fallback if budget and access matter more than resort quiet. If the room category is central to the trip, Maslina is the better bet; if the hotel is mainly a place to sleep, cross-shop harder.
