Hvar Away

Just steps away from Jelsa town's waterfront, Vertigo Palace is guaranteed to surprise and delight in equal measure.

The tranquil pool, nestled within the high stone walls of the private courtyard, sets the stage for a week or two of privacy while still experiencing the essence of local life – from the resonating church bells next door to the delightful hum of residents strolling through narrow streets. Just moments away lies the waterfront, where a vibrant array of bars, restaurants, and cafes awaits.

After your first day basking in the sun poolside, you won't need to travel far to revel in the pleasures of a languid swim in the crystalline waters of the bays surrounding Jelsa. Return home to your aromatic Mediterranean garden for an exquisite meal on the terrace prepared by our expert local chefs.
