Wellness resort Maslina sparkles on Croatian island of Hvar

The Croatian island of Hvar looks nice – specifically if ensconced at this wellness-focused resort.

The Croatian island of Hvar looks nice – specifically if ensconced at Maslina, a wellness-focused resort that opened quietly a year ago with a philosophy of “mindful luxury”.

Already accepted into the prestigious Relais & Chateaux fold, Maslina’s name references its site’s heritage olive groves, while locally sourced materials and subtle decor are key selling points at this 50-suite property in a sheltered bay near Stari Grad, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

An organic garden supplies produce and Croatian labels star on the wine list. Lodgings include family retreats such as Villa Uvala with five sea-view ensuite bedrooms, gym, spa, Finnish-style sauna and heated infinity pool. Kick back and toast the sunset with a fiery-red Negroni made with olive and oregano-infused Campari.
