Hvar is a long island in Croatia. It is about one hour by boat from Split, the main city and port on the Dalmatian coast. Stay in <strong>Ciudad de Hvar<\/strong> if you want bars and restaurants within walking distance. Stay in <strong>Stari Grad<\/strong> para un casco antiguo m\u00e1s tranquilo y llano, justo donde atraca el ferry de coches. Al\u00f3jese en <strong>Jelsa<\/strong> for family life and a real working harbour. Stay in <strong>Vrboska<\/strong> (a quiet canal village, sometimes called Hvar&#8217;s &#8220;little Venice&#8221;) for almost total peace. Stay in the <strong>Islas Pakleni<\/strong> (a small chain of islands just off Hvar Town) for a private spot you can only reach by boat. Or stay in <strong>Milna o Sveta Nedjelja<\/strong> (two small beach villages on the south coast) for a quiet cove a few minutes from Hvar Town. We run transfers into every one of these harbours daily. The area you pick changes both your holiday and your transfer plan. So let&#8217;s go through them one by one.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"de-fig\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Panorama-Hvar-Town-Hvar-Island-Croatia.webp\" alt=\"Hvar Town harbour and old town seen from above, the busiest place to stay on Hvar island\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"399\"><figcaption>Hvar Town \u2014 the busiest and most central base on the island.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div style=\"max-width:640px;margin:1.2em 0\">\n<p><strong>Door-to-door travel time from Split to Jelsa (Hvar island)<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin:8px 0\"><span>Private taxi boat (direct, one boat) \u2014 about 55 min<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#0a2540;height:14px;width:31%;border-radius:3px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin:8px 0\"><span>Catamar\u00e1n + autob\u00fas \u2014 85\u2013100 min<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#5b7a9d;height:14px;width:53%;border-radius:3px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin:8px 0\"><span>Ferry para coches + autob\u00fas \u2014 150\u2013180 min<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#9db4c8;height:14px;width:100%;border-radius:3px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"Hvar_Town_glamour_nightlife_and_the_easiest_transfer\">Hvar Town: glamour, nightlife and the easiest transfer<\/span><\/h2><div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">\u00cdndice<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#Hvar_Town_glamour_nightlife_and_the_easiest_transfer\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">1<\/span> Hvar Town: glamour, nightlife and the easiest transfer<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Stari_Grad_the_calm_historic_base_where_the_car_ferry_lands\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">2<\/span> Stari Grad: la tranquila e hist\u00f3rica base donde atraca el ferry para coches.<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Jelsa_family_life_wine_country_and_a_real_waterfront\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">3<\/span> Jelsa: family life, wine country and a real waterfront<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Vrboska_Hvar8217s_8220little_Venice8221_the_smallest_and_quietest\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">4<\/span> Vrboska: Hvar&#8217;s &#8220;little Venice&#8221;

It has a fortress on the hill, a big square built in the Venetian style, and a harbour full of yachts by August. It also has the most bars and boutique hotels on the island. It suits first-time visitors and anyone who wants to step off a boat and be in the middle of everything. Good to know: the town renewed its noise rules for 2026. Outdoor music on summer evenings is now capped at about the level of a busy restaurant. So the old &#8220;party island&#8221; image has calmed down, and families now come here too. You can find almost every type of accommodation here. But most of it sits up stone steps, with no lift and no road access. Bring a small suitcase.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"de-tip\">\n<p><strong>Consejo del capit\u00e1n:<\/strong> if your accommodation is in the Old Town, no transfer can drop you at the door. You will pull your suitcase over the stone streets for the last part. A private boat at least lands you at the town quay itself. That is usually closer to Old Town addresses than the public catamaran berth at the far end of the harbour.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>C\u00f3mo llegar:<\/strong> the passenger catamaran (Jadrolinija line 641, and Krilo \/ Kapetan Luka) sails straight into Hvar Town harbour in 50\u201360 minutes. In peak season there are up to 18\u201320 sailings a day. Tickets cost about \u20ac10\u201330 per person, one way; most summer tickets cost \u20ac18\u201325. The last boat back is usually around 20:00. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/es\/taxi-boat\/split-to-hvar\/\">Taxi acu\u00e1tico privado desde Split a Hvar<\/a> takes about 55 minutes to the town quay, at any time you choose. Flying in? Our <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/es\/taxi-boat\/split-airport-to-hvar\/\">Traslado desde el aeropuerto de Split a Hvar<\/a> skips the city. You can be on the water within an hour of landing.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Stari_Grad_the_calm_historic_base_where_the_car_ferry_lands\">Stari Grad: la tranquila e hist\u00f3rica base donde atraca el ferry para coches.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Stari Grad is the oldest town on the island, on the north coast. It has flat streets, a waterfront shaded by pine trees, and lavender fields inland. Life here is slower than in Hvar Town. The flat layout suits families and anyone who does not want to climb steps to their room. It is also where the car ferry from Split actually docks. This surprises many first-time visitors. Cannot decide between these two towns? You do not have to. They are only a 20-minute drive apart. Read our full comparison, <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/es\/blog\/stari-grad-or-hvar-town\/\">Stari Grad o Ciudad de Hvar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>C\u00f3mo llegar:<\/strong> the Jadrolinija car ferry (line 635) takes about 2 hours. It is the only public option that carries cars. In high season (late May to late September) an adult ticket costs \u20ac8.40 and a standard car costs \u20ac47.60, so about \u20ac56 together. In low season tickets are a little cheaper. Book ahead in summer, because your ticket is also your car&#8217;s reservation. From the port it is about 20 km (20\u201335 minutes) by road to Hvar Town. A private boat lands directly in Stari Grad in around 55 minutes from Split.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Jelsa_family_life_wine_country_and_a_real_waterfront\">Jelsa: family life, wine country and a real waterfront<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Jelsa is a small harbour town on the north coast, east of Stari Grad. Many people who have already seen Hvar Town choose Jelsa on their second visit. It is a real working harbour with a farmers&#8217; market and an open-air cinema. The waterfront has konobas (small local restaurants), ice-cream bars and a popular playground. In summer there is a kids&#8217; &#8220;mini disco&#8221; twice a week. The sea here is shallow and calm, so it is one of the most family-friendly places on Hvar. Jelsa sits in Hvar&#8217;s wine country. Apartments here usually cost clearly less than the same standard in Hvar Town.<\/p>\n<p><strong>C\u00f3mo llegar:<\/strong> no direct ferry goes to Jelsa. With public transport you land in Hvar Town or Stari Grad and continue by bus. The bus takes 35\u201340 minutes from Hvar Town, or 15 minutes from Stari Grad. Ferry plus bus usually takes 2.5\u20133 hours door to door. A private boat lands directly in Jelsa&#8217;s harbour in one trip.

That is exactly why people choose it. It is a tiny village on a long, narrow inlet that looks like a fjord. A canal runs through it, crossed by small stone bridges. There is a fortress church from the 16th century and almost no nightlife. Soline beach is a short walk away. Next to the village is the Stari Grad Plain, an ancient field system on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Pick Vrboska if you want to fully switch off. Skip it if you want a choice of restaurants within walking distance every night. <strong>C\u00f3mo llegar:<\/strong> no ferry serves Vrboska directly. Go via Stari Grad (car ferry, then about 10 minutes by road) or via Hvar Town (catamaran, then 30\u201340 minutes by road). A private transfer lands right in Vrboska&#8217;s canal harbour. Full details in our <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/es\/blog\/vrboska-hvar-guide-2026\/\">Gu\u00eda de Vrboska Hvar para 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"The_Pakleni_Islands_exclusive_remote_boat_access_only\">The Pakleni Islands: exclusive, remote, boat access only<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Pakleni Islands sit just across the water from Hvar Town harbour. They are a chain of small islands covered in pine trees. The main ones are Sveti Klement, Jerolim and Marinkovac. They are Hvar&#8217;s most exclusive place to sleep, for a simple reason: you cannot drive there. On Sveti Klement, the Meneghello family has run villas at Palmi\u017eana bay for decades. You sleep in bungalows set in botanical gardens, next to a well-known seafood restaurant. You can only get there by water taxi or private boat. Other private villas on the islands suit couples or small groups who want privacy, with Hvar Town&#8217;s lights in view. Day-trip boats fill the beach bays from about 11:00 to 17:00. If you stay overnight, you get the islands to yourself after the last excursion boat leaves. <strong>C\u00f3mo llegar:<\/strong> no public ferry goes there directly. The usual route is the catamaran to Hvar Town, then a local water taxi, which depends on weather and timetables. A private transfer goes straight from Split to a Pakleni dock in one trip of about 55 minutes. That saves you the change of boats. Full guide: <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/es\/blog\/pakleni-islands-guide-2026\/\">Gu\u00eda de las Islas Pakleni para 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"de-tip\">\n<p><strong>Consejo del capit\u00e1n:<\/strong> Vrboska and the quiet Pakleni bays are best in the shoulder season \u2014 May, June or September. Even these calm places get emptier then. And you will not share Soline beach with half of Jelsa&#8217;s day-trippers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span id=\"Milna_and_Sveta_Nedjelja_quiet_south_coast_minutes_from_Hvar_Town\">Milna y Sveta Nedjelja: tranquila costa sur, a pocos minutos de la ciudad de Hvar<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Do you want a quiet beach, but still close to Hvar Town&#8217;s restaurants? Look at the south coast, at Milna and Sveta Nedjelja. Milna is a small village in a sheltered cove about 4 km from Hvar Town. It is close enough for a taxi into town for dinner, but far enough to avoid the day-trip crowds. It has four sunny beaches. Almost all accommodation is in private apartments. Sveta Nedjelja is further along the coast, below the island&#8217;s highest peak. It feels like a village where people live, and it has no hotels at all. Neither place has a ferry connection. A private boat drops you at a jetty in either village in one trip from Split.

With five nights the island really opens up. You have time to add Stari Grad or Jelsa as a second base. Do not try to see every area on day trips from one base. Hvar&#8217;s roads are narrower and slower than the map suggests. Bus timetables rarely match a holiday schedule. Two bases usually work better than one base and many day trips. Still deciding?

Book Hvar Town waterfront accommodation four to six months ahead. The shoulder season (May, June, September) is the best time for Stari Grad, Jelsa and especially Vrboska. Prices drop and the towns get even quieter. Watch the wind in every season. The bura (a strong, cold wind from the north-east) and the jugo (a warm, wet wind from the south-east) are the first to cancel the fast public catamarans. The car ferry copes better. Our closed-cabin boats with radar can often still sail when the timetabled boats stay in port. Arriving on an early or late flight? Check the current catamaran timetable instead of guessing. Sailings drop off outside peak season. A private airport transfer runs on your flight time instead.

Milna&#8217;s calm coves are also a good option close to Hvar Town.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Can_you_stay_overnight_in_the_Pakleni_Islands\">\u00bfEs posible pernoctar en las islas Pakleni?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Accommodation is limited to villas and a few small boutique properties, such as the Meneghello villas at Palmi\u017eana on Sveti Klement. There is no road and no ferry, so you can only arrive by water taxi or private boat.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"How_do_you_get_from_Split_to_Hvar_without_going_through_Hvar_Town_first\">\u00bfC\u00f3mo se puede ir de Split a Hvar sin pasar primero por la ciudad de Hvar?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A private boat is the only direct option to areas like Jelsa, Vrboska, Milna or the Pakleni Islands. Public transport always lands at one of the two ferry ports, Hvar Town or Stari Grad, and you connect from there.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Is_Vrboska_worth_staying_in_if_I_want_peace_and_quiet\">\u00bfMerece la pena alojarse en Vrboska si busco paz y tranquilidad?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, more than almost anywhere on the island. It is the smallest and quietest of Hvar&#8217;s towns, with a single canal and almost no nightlife. It suits couples who want to disconnect. It is a poor choice if you want many restaurants within walking distance.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Which_port_does_the_ferry_from_Split_actually_arrive_at\">\u00bfA qu\u00e9 puerto llega exactamente el ferry procedente de Split?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It depends on the service. The fast catamaran lands directly in Hvar Town harbour. The car ferry lands about 20 km away in Stari Grad, so you need a bus, taxi or car to reach Hvar Town. Neither stops at Jelsa, Vrboska, Milna or the Pakleni Islands.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"How_many_days_should_I_spend_on_Hvar\">\u00bfCu\u00e1ntos d\u00edas deber\u00eda pasar en Hvar?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Three nights is a reasonable minimum. Five nights is ideal if you want to add a second base. If you are short on time, pick two areas and split your stay. That works better than day trips everywhere from one base.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"de-fig\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Stari-Grad-on-sv-.Roko_.webp\" alt=\"Stari Grad waterfront on Hvar island, a calm and flat old town where the car ferry lands\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"><figcaption>Stari Grad: m\u00e1s llano, m\u00e1s tranquilo y donde atraca el ferry de coches.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Between Hvar Town and Stari Grad lies Velo Grablje, an old lavender village in the hills. It holds a small Lavender Festival every June. It makes an easy half-day trip from any base.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for a luxury stay? Two names stand out. Palace Elisabeth is the historic hotel on Hvar Town&#8217;s main square. Maslina Resort, near Stari Grad, is a five-star Relais &amp; Ch\u00e2teaux hotel with its own quiet bay.<\/p>\n<p>Wherever you stay, three practical tips: eat at Dalmatino or Giaxa, two well-known restaurants in Hvar Town; rent a car or scooter from Luka Rent; and book a paddling day with Kajak &amp; SUP Hvar.<\/p>\n<p>When people talk about Hvar nightlife, they usually mean three places: Hula Hula, a beach bar for sunset drinks; Kiva Bar, in a back lane, for the late crowd; and Carpe Diem, a beach club across the water on the Pakleni Islands.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"de-sources\"><span id=\"Sources_further_reading\">Fuentes y lecturas adicionales<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jadrolinija.hr\/en\/travel\/split-hvar\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Informaci\u00f3n del trayecto de Split-Hvar \u2014 Jadrolinija<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/visithvar.hr\/visit-hvar\/how-to-reach-hvar\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Visite Hvar (oficina de turismo oficial) \u2014 C\u00f3mo llegar a Hvar<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/visitjelsa.hr\/en\/how-to-get-to-jelsa\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Visita Jelsa (oficina de turismo oficial) \u2014 C\u00f3mo llegar a Jelsa<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hvarinfo.com\/hvar-ferries\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Informaci\u00f3n sobre Hvar: Ferris a Hvar, horarios y rutas.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\n    \"@context\": \"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\n    \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n    \"mainEntity\": [\n        {\n            \"@type\": \"Question\",\n            \"name\": \"Where is the best area to stay on Hvar for a first visit?\",\n            \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n                \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n                \"text\": \"Hvar Town, for most people.
