Maslina Resort

Words cannot express how wonderful my family and I have found the Maslina. “Mindful Luxury” is the motto and while this could sound pretentious the resort isn’t pretentious at all. Every detail has been attended to thoughtfully. Batu at the front desk is a special person and helped make our stay memorable. He recommended restaurants, made reservations and assisted with taxi’s and advice as well as being genuinely lovely and thoughtful with our children. All the staff are a real credit and nothing seems too much or troublesome to them. There are 2 delightful, heated pools with ample, comfy loungers, cushions and towels. There are bathing platforms build into the sea. There are private cabanas on the beach. Gym was brilliant with modern, brand new equipment and a stunning view. The rest of the wellness centre was also wonderful. The morning yoga was a true practice with an experienced instructor and my massage was incredible. There are a wide variety of fitness / wellness classes on offer. Our suite was outstanding with the most comfortable beds, outstanding sea views, fully stocked complimentary mini bars, French press coffee, robes, Japanese bath, rainfall shower etc etc. I can’t list everything! I’d be here all day. Finally the breakfast was truly amazing- as you’d expect from the Maslina!

This property is beyond exceptional. The food, decor and staff are all truly fabulous. From the moment you arrive nothing is a problem. Batu and all the staff there are so welcoming and friendly. We had a panoramic pool suite which was very spacious and beautifully decorated. You never see or hear the house keeping. The rooms are just serviced morning and night when you are not there. There is a small mini bar fridge and the first consumption of all the drinks was complimentary. After that I believe you would need to pay. The dinner meal was one of the best we have had in Croatia. The wellness centre has a gym, plunge pool, sauna, steam plus lots of activities like yoga. And a spa treatment room. Or you can relax at the beach or pool. The pool is nicely heated so you can swim for a long time. The town of Stari Grad is a short bike ride away and is the prettiest quaint little town. We did not want to leave.

We loved our stay at Maslina Resort! We arrived at the Stari Grad port and had a quick ride with our luggage on one of the Maslina golf carts. The entrance/reception is so serene and the resort is on the most beautiful setting overlooking the sea. Our room was spectacular with a large balcony, great balcony and a stocked mini bar with complimentary drinks and snacks that were complimentary during our stay. The staff were exceptional answering any questions and assisting with reservations for dinner reservations and setting up our taxi transfer to Hvar Town. You can easily walk to the adorable town of Stari Grad from the resort. They have 2 pools which were kept at a perfect temperature and incredibly relaxing. There is also a Beach Club with lounge chairs/umbrellas and the sea was clear and calm (recommend wearing water shoes to protect your feet from the rocks). This resort has earned its Relais & Chateaux accreditation. We would not hesitate to come back and stay again.

I had the pleasure of staying at MASLINA RESORT this past May while attending my cousin’s wedding—and I can confidently say it was one of the most exceptional hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The Room: I booked an ocean view room, and the moment I stepped in, I was floored. The near-panoramic view of the Adriatic Sea was absolutely breathtaking. The room was modern, elegant, and clearly designed with sustainability in mind. Details like the stunning bathtub and rain shower setup, as well as the thoughtful design touches throughout, made it feel like a private sanctuary. One of the best surprises? The first round of the minibar was completely complimentary—a small but meaningful gesture, especially after a 24+ hour journey to get there. The Service: Hands down, this is where MASLINA sets itself apart. The service was impeccable, arguably better than anything I’ve experienced at top-tier brands like the Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, or Andaz. Every staff member I interacted with was warm, professional, and spoke fluent English. Special mention must go to Mr. Batu, who greeted me at the front entrance with a refreshing towel and welcome drink, gave me a full tour of my room, and answered every question I had with genuine care. He even recommended a scenic running trail—something that meant a lot to me. Batu didn’t just provide service—he created a sense of comfort, as if I was staying with an old friend. He was extremely polite but at the same time above and beyond friendly. Honestly made me feel at home. At one point, he personally drove my family into town and picked us up when we were running late for our ferry. This is truly above-and-beyond hospitality. He truly deserves a raise, if not a promotion, for his above and beyond service. The Vibe: Since the resort was essentially taken over by wedding guests, there was a warm, celebratory atmosphere throughout the weekend. The surroundings are peaceful, beautifully designed, and perfectly in tune with the natural landscape. It’s ideal for a romantic getaway, a serene solo retreat, or—in my case—a family event with a touch of luxury. Final Thoughts: MASLINA RESORT is a rare gem—thoughtfully designed, flawlessly operated, and deeply committed to both luxury and authenticity. Yes, it’s pricey—but between the views, the service, and the overall experience, it was worth every euro. I’ll be dreaming of that Adriatic view (and Batu’s five-star hospitality) for a long time to come.

We spent 5 nights at the Masalina resort in May 2025 and they were absolutely incredible. This was the end of an absolutely amazing 2 week vacation where we had stayed at other 5 star resorts and I was not sure Masalina could meet my expectations - it surpassed them! Batu is an absolute gem- he greeted us at arrival and made sure our entire stay including all of our meals were mapped out to perfection. All of our transportation was arranged and we did not have to worry about a thing. All of the staff was so incredibly kind and friendly. The resort is beautiful and so peaceful which is exactly what we were looking for. The highlight of our trip was taking the new Masalina boat out for a full day private tour. What a way to see Hvar! If you can do it- it is absolutely the best experience. Ivan & Ivan took the best care of us and it was the highlight of our trip. We absolutely recommend the Masalina resort. If you go- have a lavender spritz!
