Little Green Bay Hotel in Hvar

I’ve thought for days about the absolutely extraordinary review I would leave because summarize the sheer brilliance of this hotel is difficult. First off, any negative review left is a sheer reflection of the person and not the hotel. This isn’t one of those magnums hotels that has a gift shop in the lobby and a Dior boutique next to it.

It is however, an absolutely wonderful 15 room hotel that offers nothing but peace and tranquility tucked away in a hidden bay. It doesn’t have a pool because why would need one when you have natures beauty at your feet. We came here to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary and stayed in the cocoon sea view room. Brilliant, you open your curtains and nothing but endless sea.

The restaurant is phenomenal, the zucchini carpaccio I dream of. The breakfast, which is included, will have you looking forward to it every day of your stay. Fane I hope I didn’t mispronounce his name, his service is spectacular alongside Zara and everyone else at the restaurant.

A special thanks to Marta, who exceeded our expectations in every way. Coordinated an extra day for us to stay, coordinated our private boat charter on the Axiom with Emil on an experience we will never forget. As well as our private wine tour with Maria who showed us the most spectacular wine cellars.

If you are considering staying here, do not hesitate it will forever be embedded in your heart.

Little Green Bay really is the kind of hide-out you dream up on a grey Monday at your desk. We spent three nights here and—apart from one quick foray into Hvar Town—never felt the urge to leave. The hotel sits in its own little cove, wrapped in pines and smooth stone terraces, so every time we looked up from a book or a cocktail we saw nothing but clear Adriatic water and the odd passing boat.

Our room (a “Cosy” category) nailed the modern-Mediterranean vibe: natural stone floors, linen-draped bed, and a private balcony that caught the morning sun perfectly for that first coffee. Even with the place full it never felt crowded—just fifteen rooms means plenty of space on the loungers and an almost private-beach feel when you step into the sea.

Food is where Little Green Bay really surprised us. The in-house bistro turned out to be the best meal we had on the island—think super-fresh sea bass crudo, a lamb ragù that tasted like someone’s Croatian grandma had been simmering it all day, and local wines suggested by a genuinely passionate sommelier. The only minor niggle: a couple of the junior staff weren’t always up to speed on menu changes or cocktail ingredients, so we did the odd bit of back-and-forth before ordering. Friendly, though, and quick to fix things once asked.

Practicalities: the free 7 p.m. shuttle into town is handy, and the €25 cab ride back felt fair for the ten-ish minute trip. Yes, nightly rates sting a little high-season prices are what they are but when you factor in the peace, the setting, and that restaurant, it still came out feeling worth it for us.

Bottom line? Little Green Bay is the spot if you want to dodge Hvar’s tourist bustle and cocoon yourself in laid-back luxury. A tweak to staff training and a touch less sticker shock would nudge it to a perfect five, but we left happy, relaxed, and already plotting a return in shoulder season.

Littlegreenbay Hotel is a 5 star hotel masquerading as a 3 star hotel.

From the modern rooms to the excellent service to the peaceful bay, this hotel was top notch. The staff were extremely pleasant and attentive throughout our stay. They constantly checked up on us on the beach to ask if we wanted anything. The included breakfast was also great, and the restaurant for lunch/dinner was tasty and has breathtaking views of the bay, especially at sunset.

Thank you Littlegreenbay Hotel for a fantastic stay on Hvar.

PS. My recommendation for the hotel is to spin off the restaurant with its own brand as more people need to experience it!

Almost too good. Loved it. Staff were great from start to finish - great support given our luggage never made it with us. Recommend the boat transfer from the airport. Close to town without being in town and the bay is gorgeous.

Probably the best hidden secret of the whole Island.
Amazing venue, atenttive staff, and the Food in the restaurant is to die for.
Dinner was amazing, plus the beach is so cosy and private that it is an ideal resting place !
Recommendation for all those looking for a quite place to relax.

Magical place! Most beautiful interior and beach, very friendly and helpful staff, delicious food. Everything you need to relax and forget about the world‘s troubles.

Outstanding hotel - the location is even better than the pictures and the service is exceptional. There are few rooms which makes it feel more personal and the food was also very good. The hotel feels quite isolated but it is only a 10 minute drive (shuttle provided regularly by the hotel) to Hvar town.

Simply perfect!!!
Excellent service and best staff on Adriatic!!!
