Hotel Hvar stands in pine forest on the headland above the Mina cove, on the east side of Jelsa, an easy walk into town for the evening. Terraces look out over the Adriatic, and the beach below is one of the most popular in Jelsa, with pine shade that families appreciate.
The hotel has an outdoor pool with a sun terrace, a big garden with mini golf, tennis courts, a fitness room and bike rental, and runs half board and all inclusive plans; guests on the buffet praise the variety. It is an older property and rooms are simple, so book it for the setting rather than the styling.
It suits families and active travellers who want the calm pace of Jelsa, with the beach and the woods on the doorstep.
