Best Family Hotels with Spa & Wellness in Hvar

Why families love Heritage Hotel Park Hvar

Parents pick Heritage Park for the location-to-price ratio: a 4-star in the same pedestrian quarter as the Palace Elisabeth for roughly half the rate. The downside is room size: family rooms here are 28-32 m² which is tighter than the same configuration at Maslina or Valamar. The pine park outside the front door is the real selling point — it gives morning dog walks before the old town wakes up, and afternoon shade when the marble paving is hot.

Why families love Valamar Amicor Resort

I recommend Valamar Amicor to families who want a kids' club and can bring the dog. The resort accepts pets up to 15 kg, has a dog-walking path through the pine forest behind it, and welcomes pets on the beach restaurant terrace. The kids' club takes ages 4 to 12, family suites have two bedrooms, and tennis courts and a playground sit by the main pool. Hvar Town needs the hotel shuttle or a 30-minute drive.

Why families love Adriana Hvar Spa Hotel

Parents pick Adriana for the rooftop pool with sea view and the harbour position which makes ferry pickup logistics trivial. The trade-off is room size: standard rooms are 22-26 m² which is tight for 3-4 people plus a dog bed. The family-of-four configuration only works as a connecting two-room setup, which adds significantly to the bill. Best for families with one or two kids and a small dog who want the rooftop bar atmosphere without leaving the hotel for evening drinks.

Why families love Palace Elisabeth Hvar Hotel

I recommend Palace Elisabeth to families travelling with a small dog who want five-star service in the old town. The hotel enforces a 10 kg pet limit with a clear written policy that includes dog beds, bowls and a list of nearby vets, and it keeps three ground-floor garden rooms for guests with dogs. The front door opens onto the pedestrian main square. Family rooms are limited by the heritage layout, so larger families should look elsewhere.

Why families love Palace Elisabeth Hvar

I would choose Palace Elisabeth for families who want the building itself to be part of the trip. This five-star Leading Hotel of the World occupies a 19th-century palace on Hvar main square, with a heated infinity rooftop pool over the harbour. The pool is small and has no shallow zone, so toddlers need close watching. Connecting family rooms give children their own door, and breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace.

Why families love Maslina Resort

Parents pick Maslina for the size: their kids get separate bedrooms, the dog gets actual grass to run on, and the resort runs its own family activity programme from June to September. The trade-off is the position: Maslina is 20 minutes from Hvar Town by shuttle, so spontaneous dinner runs to town require timing the return. The on-site restaurant is excellent (Mediterranean farm-to-table) and welcomes dogs on the terrace, so most evenings parents stay on-site.

Why families love Hotel Podstine

Podstine works very well if you want the kind of holiday where you do not put shoes on after eleven. The hotel's beach is right there, the pool is right there, and the restaurant is right there. The walk into town is pretty but takes a real fifteen minutes with kids, so plan dinner accordingly. Rooms are larger than average for Hvar and the sea-facing balconies kept our two amused for hours just watching boats. Good honest family hotel, not a luxury resort.

Why families love Hotel Podstine Hvar

Hotel Podstine is the calm choice on Hvar, set in its own small bay 1.5 km west of the town centre. The pool is small but works well for kids 3-10 with shallow entry on one side. The private pebble beach is the real draw, with reserved loungers for guests and lifeguard 10am to 6pm in July-August. Family rooms with sea view are larger than the town hotels but the trade-off is the shuttle (every 30 minutes 8am to 11pm) for town access. Couples with one toddler love this hotel; families with school-age kids might want more on-site activity.

Why families love Pharos Hvar Bayhill Hotel

We stayed five nights in July and used the tennis court six times. Court time was free, junior rackets were ready at the front desk, and the coach for our eight-year-old was a former regional player who kept the session fun. The walk into town for dinner took 12 minutes with two children, which felt manageable. The pool was busy but the tennis court was rarely full before nine in the morning.

Why families love Amfora Hvar Grand Beach Resort

I recommend Amfora Hvar Grand Beach Resort to families who want the most pool space on Hvar. The 320-room resort on Bonj Bay has three outdoor pools, one for adults, one for families and a kids pool with a splash zone, so adults and children rarely share. A private pebble beach with cabanas is right outside the gate, the kids club takes ages 4 to 12, and family rooms sleep four. Hvar town centre is a 10-minute walk east.

Why families love Aminess Senses Resort

Vrboska is what you book when you want family life without crowds. The single tennis court was rarely busy even in early August, and the resort lent us junior rackets at no cost. The food was fine without being memorable, but the bay outside the resort was excellent for snorkelling with kids. Our kids preferred this to the bigger Hvar town resorts because the layout was smaller and they could roam more freely.
