It’s time to reveal Hvar’s best-kept secret: a series of hidden refuges woven into its wild landscapes. These villas are sanctuaries cradled by pine-laden winds, olive groves and the endless Adriatic. Far from the noise of everyday life, they invite you to dissolve into nature.
Disconnection is a gift here and solitude is a luxury. Each villa is a world unto itself, offering a rare communion with the untamed. These are not escapes but true awakenings. They are spaces where opulence is stripped back and the world gives way to the island’s ease of being.
Villa Alcyone, the rustic heart of the olive grove
Named for the mythic queen of calm seas, Villa Alcyone borders the UNESCO-protected Stari Grad Plain, an ancient agricultural tapestry quietly thriving since the 4th century. The estate’s stone buildings cluster around its courtyards where more than a hundred olive trees stand tall.
Alcyone is a five-bedroom villa where privacy is sacred. Its vast grounds, dotted with fig, pomegranate and bay trees, create a verdant cocoon. Days drift lazily, spent between shaded terraces and cool stone interiors, punctuated by the distant flicker of the sea just 800 metres away. Alcyone is where the soul can stretch out in endless calm.
Villa Eos, divinely isolated from the outside world
In the fragrant-filled village of Humac, Villa Eos stands as a testament to natural poise. This lovingly restored early 20th-century farmhouse has four bedrooms and an otherworldly view of Hvar’s southern side, adjacent islands and the sea.
Lavender, rosemary and sage scent the air while fig trees offer shade. An infinity pool clings to the edge of the property, mirroring the horizon where sea and sky meet. The villa’s secluded perch invites long coffee mornings watching dawn float over rolling hills with the Adriatic beyond. It’s where you’ll lose yourself in the slow unfolding of each day.
Villa Phaunos, where you’ll find transparency amidst the pines
Hidden within a pine forest near Basina, Villa Phaunos reimagines modern wilderness living. And despite being located in the middle of nature, it’s only a ten-minute drive from the nearest town. The glass walls at Villa Phaunos dissolve boundaries, inviting the forest’s ever-changing light inside. It’s where the island’s natural world and contemporary design effortlessly converse.
This sleek glass tree house showcases four bedrooms and is only steps from a secluded pebble beach. You’ll discover a unique kind of immersion here, found in the hush of the trees, the sea-salted air and the vast sky above. Expansive terraces beckon lazy afternoons where the line between inside and out fades. It’s a place that’ll hold you in the grasp of nature’s purest and most powerful beauty.
Villa Astraeus, a jewel beneath the stars
Perched above the peaceful village of Ivan Dolac, Villa Astraeus is a three-bedroom stone haven that pays homage to the celestial. It is named for the ancient god of stars, after all. This terraced beauty tumbles gently into Mediterranean groves, with sweeping panoramas of the southern coastline.
The private pool and open-plan living spaces blur the boundary between indoors and out. As dusk falls, the sky transforms into a canvas scattered with the island’s brightest stars. It’s almost surreal that this cosmic wonder lies just 40 minutes from the buzz of Hvar Town. Astraeus calls to dreamers and wanderers. It’s a villa where silence runs deep and the universe feels intimately near.
Villa Caerus, a hilltop gem suspended in time
On a hilltop just outside Hvar Town, Villa Caerus is a radiant seven-bedroom refuge bathed in light and lavender. Enclosed by ancient stone walls and embraced by an olive grove, this nearly 7,000-square-metre haven is private and timeless. Though just three kilometres from the pulse of Hvar Town’s busy streets, Caerus feels worlds away.
A spacious porch commands heavenly northwest vistas across the islands of Vis, Šolta, Brač and the distant mainland of Split. Below, a generous heated pool invites languid swims as you enjoy life’s blissfully quiet moments set to a million-dollar view.
Villa Chaos, beauty without borders
Tucked into the secluded cove of Veli Dolac, Villa Chaos is anything but disordered. This three-bedroom villa is where wild Mediterranean spirit meets sharp and intentional design. Vintage oak floors run through the main house to echo the land’s history while every wooden handcrafted detail tells its own deliberate story. The colours and textures are composed to create a space that feels rooted in the island and fully alive.
Outside, olive trees coil and sway beside a secluded private pool where wildness is woven into every inch of the landscape. This near-solitary cove is just a hundred metres from a hidden pebble beach and a mere ten-minute drive from the heart of Hvar Town. It is where nature is honoured and its unfiltered beauty calls to your senses rather than just your eyes.
Villa Zeus, the summit of modernity
In the village of Gdinj, Villa Zeus is a striking silhouette of contemporary design wrapped in the textures of the land. Surrounded by centennial pines and native flora, its clean and modern geometry is softened by tactile details, from hand-carved stone to warm timber and sun-washed textures that speak to the terrain.
The villa’s position was chosen with intention as even the hardest edges of the world seem to melt here. From its private pool to its expansive terraces, every corner of Villa Caerus opens onto the rural landscape. Though deeply secluded, this five-star retreat doesn’t isolate. Guests are even invited to step into its daily rituals, from gathering lavender to harvesting olives or feeling the weight of ripe grapes before they become wine.
Your invitation into the wild
Our villas in the wild are where the land leads the way. Each retreat is a promise that solitude can be sumptuous, nature can be intimate and that luxury rises from the earth, not above it. The wild heart of Hvar is waiting to welcome you home.
