Resorts on south side of the island
We begin our walk through Hvar resorts in lagoons on the south side of the island, east of city of Hvar. All lagoons are expressly sunny, which gives them special atmosphere and all are surrounded by vineyards and olive orchards.
Mekićevica
Mekićevica is situated in a Hvar’s immediate proximity (only 2.5km east of city). It has two pebble beaches and white rock beach (“Bilo punta”), ideal for those who want to enjoy the harshness of Hvar’s sun.

Milna
