Welcome to Total Hvar

Welcome to the island of Hvar, one of the most magical corners of the planet. Known as Croatia's premier island, the sunniest in all year, one of the world's most beautiful, the island with the most UNESCO heritage in the world (and that doesn't include the oldest public theatre in Europe), Hvar is an island with something for everyone. Its wines are exported all over the world, from California to China, its healthy Mediterranean diet part of UNESCO heritage. Get lost in the sailing paradise that is the Pakeni islands, cycle the roads world champions use for winter training, kayak to the hidden coves. Immerse yourselves in history in the historic towns and villages dating back thousands of years, and after another hard day at the beach, check out some of the most vibrant nightlife on the Adriatic. 

2018 sees 150 years of organised tourism in Europe, just one more thing that started on Hvar, with the founding of the Hvar Healthy Society in 1868. Join us on a journey of exploration of this fabulous slice of paradise. Total Hvar was founded in October 2011. Now in its 7th year, it is established as the prime and most reliable source of information about the island.

Hvar Safari Video from Secret Hvar

I must admit, I was convincing myself, that running into a wild boar is highly unlikely when walking through my favourite vineyard paths. But as more and more vineyards are wiring up for protection and with my then 4 year old accidentally touching one of the electric fence last year, I am pulled back into the wild-boar reality of the island.

Summer is close and everyone is looking forward to spend more time outside. Getting out of the office, letting the traffic and smog behind, to be outside in the sun, breath in all those wonderful scents and listen to the peaceful sounds of nature, is what most of us need to regain our strength.
