Island of Hvar – the best island destination

At the Croatian Tourism Days ceremony held in Dubrovnik, the Island of Hvar was proudly awarded the title of Best Island Destination. This prestigious recognition once again confirms that Hvar is not only a symbol of natural beauty, but also an example of exceptional tourism quality, sustainable development, and hospitality that leaves a lasting impression on every visitor.

Hvar stands out with its rich cultural heritage, stunning beaches, top-notch gastronomy, active and nautical experiences, as well as vibrant events that attract guests from all over the world. Yet what truly makes it special is the collective energy and dedication of everyone who lives and works on the island.

We extend our gratitude to all tourism professionals, hospitality workers, accommodation providers, event organizers, municipal and public services, and to all the hardworking people who, with their knowledge, effort, and warm hospitality, create the kind of experience that makes visitors return to Hvar with genuine affection.
Their professionalism and love for the island are the key to the success we celebrate today.

This award is the result of many years of shared effort, investment in quality, innovation, and the preservation of natural and cultural heritage. At the same time, it serves as a strong motivation to continue developing sustainable tourism even more boldly and responsibly, to protect the island’s unique resources, and to create conditions for an even better quality of life for the local community.

Hvar is an island with soul – a place where tradition meets modernity, tranquility meets vibrancy, nature meets culture.
We are proud of what has been achieved and inspired for everything that lies ahead.

Together, we will continue to build Hvar as a top island destination and a place to which everyone loves to return.
