FOOD
Food is prepared with fresh and seasonal ingredients purchased from local farmers because we love to support the local economy.
You’ll be provided two daily meals plus a snack, made by the in-house chef. Brunches and dinners are vegetarian and vegan. Gluten-free options are available. Coffee, tea, fruits, and snacks will be available throughout the day.
LOCATION
Pakleni Island is a gorgeous chain of wooded isles that stretches out immediately in front of the town of Hvar.
Although the name literally means ‘Hell’s Islands’, it’s thought to derive from ‘paklina’, a pine resin that was once harvested here to waterproof boats. The more descriptive name will be ‘Green and Blue Paradise’ of a Dalmatian coast, because of plenty of deep blue caves and tiny white sandy beaches.
