Hvar holds a special place in my heart because it perfectly blends laid-back island charm with the kind of elevated experiences I live for — beach clubs, wine tastings and crystal-clear water. There’s something magical about hopping on a boat to explore the Pakleni Islands or dancing barefoot at Carpe Diem as the sun sets. It’s a place that feels both luxurious and effortlessly fun. Every time I go, I leave already planning my next trip back.
