Amfora sits in a sheltered bay on the western edge of Hvar town, reached by a flat walk along the seafront promenade past the Bonj cove. You are away from the late night noise of the centre, yet the main square is about 10 minutes on foot.
The signature feature is the huge cascading outdoor pool, built on several levels with waterfalls, islands and a swim up bar, with a pebble beach and sea swimming right in front of the resort. There is also a poolside restaurant, beach massages, a kids activity centre and a fitness room.
It suits families and groups who want a full resort day without leaving the property. This is one of the largest hotels on the island, so expect a lively pool scene in July and August; guests consistently praise the pool, breakfast and staff, while some find parts of the property dated.
