Where to Stay on the Dalmatian Islands 2026: Hvar, Brač, Korčula, Vis

Accommodation on the Dalmatian Islands ranges from 5-star design hotels in Hvar to simple apartments in Vis’s fishing villages. Book significantly ahead for summer — July and August on Hvar in particular fills months in advance. All prices in euros (€).

Hvar

Hvar Town is the main accommodation hub, with hotels along the harbour and in the hills above. Stari Grad and Jelsa are quieter alternatives on the same island.

Luxury (€150–400+/night)

Adriana Hvar Spa Hotel — boutique hotel with a rooftop pool directly on Hvar Town harbour. One of the most desirable locations on the island.

• Price: €120–300

Amfora Grand Beach Resort — large resort hotel 10 minutes’ walk from town, with pools and beach access.

• Price: €150–350

Mid-range (€80–180/night)

Podstine Hotel — quiet seafront hotel 1km from Hvar Town with a private beach, pool, and garden. Excellent for those who want proximity to town without being in the middle of it.

• Price: €100–240

Hotel Riva — on the Hvar Town harbour front, directly on the main promenade.

• Price: €120–250

Budget (under €100/night)

Private apartments through Booking.com or Airbnb are the best budget option on Hvar — €50–120 for a studio or one-bedroom in Hvar Town depending on season. Stari Grad and Jelsa offer lower prices.

Brač

Bol is the main tourist centre, adjacent to Zlatni Rat beach. Supetar (the ferry port) is larger but less scenic.

Mid-range

Bluesun Hotel Elaphusa — large beach hotel in Bol, 600m from Zlatni Rat, with pools and sports facilities.

• Price: €100–200

Hotel Kaštil — small, characterful hotel in central Bol.

• Price: €90–170

Budget

Private apartments in Bol and Supetar from €50–120. Supetar apartments are cheaper and still only 50 minutes from Split by ferry.

Korčula

Korčula Town is the main base — the Old Town peninsula is the obvious choice for first-time visitors.

Luxury

Lešić Dimitri Palace — the standout accommodation on Korčula: a converted 16th-century bishop’s palace with five individually designed apartments, each named for a different Mediterranean culture that influenced Korčula. Outstanding service and design.

• Price: €220–450

Mid-range

Korčula de la Ville — a comfortable hotel in Korčula Town, well-positioned for the Old Town.

• Price: €100–190

Hotel Bon Repos — larger hotel south of town with pool and beach access.

• Price: €90–160

Budget

Private apartments in the Korčula Old Town area from €60–120.

Vis

Vis Town and Komiža are the two main places to stay on the most remote major island.

Mid-range and budget

San Giorgio Hotel — boutique hotel in Vis Town.

• Price: €110–180

Hotel Tamaris — historic hotel in Vis Town, well-regarded for its terrace and setting.

• Price: €100–160

Komiža has smaller guesthouses and apartments — €70–130 for a double room.

General booking tips

• Book by April for July–August stays on Hvar — the better hotels and apartments sell out early
• Private apartments dominate island accommodation and often offer better value than hotels at similar price points
• Car ferries: Reserve car ferry spaces well in advance on the Split–Stari Grad (Hvar) and Split–Supetar (Brač) routes in summer
• Shoulder season: June and September offer 20–30% lower prices and significantly fewer crowds
