Maslina Resort

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!

This hotel truly deserves a 6-star rating—5 stars simply aren’t enough. From the stunning interior design and thoughtfully crafted cocktails to the exceptional service and beautifully designed rooms, every detail was flawless and unforgettable. A special thank you to Batu, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. He took the time to get to know us personally, sharing wonderful stories and always ensuring we had everything we needed. His warmth and hospitality made a lasting impression. We were initially hesitant about staying here due to the distance from Hvar Town, but after experiencing the charm and tranquility of Stari Grad, we had no desire to leave. It’s a far more peaceful and authentic part of the island. If you’re visiting the area, I couldn’t recommend this hotel more. It’s easily the best place to stay on the island.

I agree with the previous reviewers. Its a little slice of Heaven. Batu and all of the staff at Maslina are extremely professional and welcoming. They did run out of some food items which I thought was stange and a bit disapointing however it was the start of the season. Breakfast and lunch were both really good. The salad is more than just a salad. The property is beautiful, tranquil, peaceful, very thai inspired. Room was nice. I would have preferred to be up closer to the front. We were not upgraded as an Amex Fine Hotels guest. The lavendar spritz drink is delicious. Poolside and oceanside areas- beautiful. Beautiful walk into town (20 mins). Town is adorable. Easy 35 mins from Hvar town/ferry. Would definitely return.

If you want to feel like you're on the set of White Lotus ( any season) book this now! The asthetics, the Spa, the rooms, the service, food, gym, the pools and staff are so amazing! Highly recommend getting yourselves to Hvar...they got it right in every way♥️ P S. The tea station in the Spa and the comp. First round of the mini bar were great added touches
