Coves, a yacht and the brightest island in the Adriatic, for two.
Two coastlines of walled cities, wine-terraced islands and hidden coves, all close enough to weave into a single seamless journey by water.
When to go
Late May through September, when the Adriatic is warm, the light is long and the islands are at their most alive before the autumn quiet returns. Your advisor times it to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.
The experiences
A sense of what this journey can hold — each one arranged privately and shaped to you:
- Sail out to the Pakleni islets for a swim in a cove kept just for the two of you.
- Anchor for a lunch on deck as the crew slips away and leaves you the sea.
- Watch the sun drop behind the islets from a quiet terrace above the harbour.
- Take a private boat to a hidden inlet for a dinner set on the shore at dusk.
A sense of the rhythm
Hvar is the brightest island in the Adriatic, and for two it is pure ease. Days move between the sun-warmed coves and long afternoons on the water, with nothing asked of you but to slow down. When the light softens, the island turns quiet and golden, and the evenings are yours to fill or leave entirely empty.
The harbour town or a hidden cove?
Hvar town gives you the buzz of the waterfront and dinner steps from your door, romantic in a lively way. A retreat toward the Pakleni islets or a quiet bay trades that for total privacy, your own stretch of sea and stillness at night. Many couples we advise mix the two, a night or two of life and the rest in seclusion.
How to do it well
The counsel our advisors give travelers planning this journey:
- Reserve a private boat for a full day; the finest coves are reachable only from the water.
- Ask for a room facing west for the sunset behind the islets.
- Keep one evening open for a shore dinner arranged where the light is best.
- Time your visit for the lavender and the warmest sea, from late June onward.
What only your advisor can open
The difference between a good trip and an unrepeatable one is access — and access is a relationship, not a booking. Every guide, room and moment is chosen and sequenced for you.
Who it's for
Travelers who value privacy, time and doing it once — beautifully — and who would rather have one trusted advisor orchestrate every detail than assemble it themselves.
Estimated investment
From US$10,800 per traveler, based on double occupancy — scaled to your dates, party size and level of privacy. A starting point, not a final quote; confirmed once your advisor tailors the itinerary.
Designed entirely around you
Nothing here is a package. A Forest Travel advisor shapes the whole journey and stays one message away before and throughout your trip.
