Features

What makes Amfora Hvar Grand Beach Resort unique?

  • Iconic Pool Complex: The resort features a signature multi-level, freeform pool with cascading waterfalls, which serves as the centrepiece of the property.
  • Direct Sea Access: Guests enjoy immediate entry to the Mediterranean through a private beach area and the adjacent luxury pontoon beach club.
  • Proximity to Hvar Town: Despite its secluded feel, the resort is connected to the heart of Hvar’s historic harbour via a scenic 10-minute coastal promenade walk.

Top 5 Highlights

  • The Cascades Pool: A tiered, freeform swimming area that is visually stunning and features a waterslide, making it a hit for children and adults alike.
  • Bonj 'les bains' Beach Club: A 1930s-style architectural gem on the waterfront, perfect for a more upscale beach experience with sunbeds and cabanas.
  • Windows on Hvar Restaurant: Located on the fifth floor, it offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the Paklinski Islands and the pool area below.
  • The Coastal Promenade: An easy, flat walking path that leads from the hotel garden directly to the shops, cafes, and historic sites of Hvar town.
  • Private Cove Setting: The resort is tucked into a pine-forested bay, offering natural shade and a quieter atmosphere than the main town harbour.

  • Accessibility: The hotel includes elevator access to upper floors and accessible common areas.
  • Convenience: 24-hour reception, luggage storage, laundry services, and an on-site boutique.

Pro-Tips

  • Booking: Always check the official resort website for "Web Exclusive" discounts, which can save you up to 15% on your stay.

Targeted FAQ

  • Is it worth it for toddlers? Yes, the resort is considered one of the best family-friendly options in Hvar. The dedicated kids' pool with a slide, combined with the supervised Aventura Kids' Club, provides excellent entertainment for younger children, while the proximity to Hvar town allows for easy stroller access to town amenities.
  • How long does a visit take? Most guests find that a stay of 5 to 7 days is ideal. This duration allows enough time to balance relaxing at the resort’s extensive pool complex with exploring the local beaches, historic Hvar town, and taking day trips to the nearby Paklinski Islands.
  • Where is the best place to park? The resort provides complimentary on-site parking for guests, which is highly convenient. If you are hiring a car on the mainland and bringing it over via the car ferry, you will find the hotel’s parking area to be secure and well-situated for arrivals.
