Overview

The Amfora Hvar Grand Beach Resort, nestled in a private bay on the island of Hvar, offers several activities for all types of travelers—families, couples, and groups alike. This Mediterranean resort is known for its incredible cascading pool, a unique feature that adds to its character. The hotel's location is ideal for beach lovers and culture enthusiasts, as it's just a short walk away from the Franciscan Monastery, Heritage Museum, Hvar Town Arsenal, and Hvar Public Theater. Its proximity to the Old Town and views of the Adriatic Sea make it a favorite.

The resort's rooms offer a comfortable stay after a day of sightseeing or beach lounging. Although some past kimkim travelers have noted the rooms could use a touch-up, the hotel's commitment to cleanliness and comfort is evident. All units are cozy, equipped with king-size or twin beds, and include breakfast, while upgraded rooms offer a dash of luxury with options like balconies, sea views, and additional space. 

Enjoy simple and delicious dishes at the Cascades Restaurant on the resort's cascading pool, or grab a cocktail at the chic bar. The resort also features the Splash Beach Bar & Restaurant, offering light summer lunches under the shade of pine trees. The Windows on Hvar Restaurant on the fourth floor serves popular dishes with a Mediterranean touch. Sustainability is a core value at this resort, which has joined UNESCO's Sustainable Travel Pledge program for sustainable tourism.

Beautiful property and amenities just a little dated—rooms (even the superior rooms) were small; however other than that we loved it! Breakfast spread was excellent and the free luggage service (van meets you at the dock to take your bags so you don’t have to carry them to the resort) was a great touch Read more

Huge resort which is a bit of a change for us but we ended up enjoying very much. The room was very spacious, modern and clean. It had a nice balcony where we could see boats passing on the water. The pool area was very nice with a small beach nearby. The staff were very nice and helpful. It is a 10min walk from town but easy if you go around the hill (and not up & over it).
