Every season has its standouts and 2025 was no different. Some villas drew guests back again and again — the ones everyone asked about, booked early and never wanted to leave.
Maybe it was the view, the energy or perhaps the way the sunlight hit just right. Whatever the reason, these are the seven villas that got booked the most this year.
Villa Ourea, a love letter to Hvar’s hills
Perched above Velo Grablje, Ourea is where tradition and design perfectly align. Two 18th-century stone houses have been transformed into one irresistible escape, where modern comfort mingles with the charm of village life. Saunas and smart touches can be found inside, while a pool opens to the hills and sky outside. You’ll find lavender fields, local konobas and the sea just ten minutes away. Ourea has that old-soul beauty. It feels personal, crafted and wholly Hvar.
Villa Chaos, beautifully offbeat
Hidden in the quiet cove of Veli Dolac, Chaos is what happens when someone with taste decides to live by their own rules. Solar-powered, design-driven and wrapped in olive groves, it’s where the only sounds are wind, waves and maybe a record spinning somewhere inside. With handmade furniture, a vintage oak floor and a pool that peeks out to the endless blue, Chaos makes simplicity feel rebellious. It’s luxury in the peace-of-mind sense.
Villa Selene, between the forest and the sea
Selene sits right where Hvar Town begins and the wild takes over, a short walk to Pokonji Dol beach or a quick drive into town. It’s a stone house of calm colours, wooden beams and sunlight everywhere. There’s space for families, friends and even a little solitude. After all, there’s a terrace by the pool and a hidden gazebo for when you need to disappear for a while. Rustic, elegant and full of heart, Selene really does glow like her namesake.
Villa Ananke, the art of having it all
If Hvar had a definition of “big and beautiful,” Ananke would be it. It’s adorned with four floors, six bedrooms and views that sweep from the Franciscan monastery to the Pakleni islands. It’s not hard to see that it was built for togetherness, because every level has its own kitchen and terrace. You can start with morning laps in the pool then move into dinners under the trees before midnight talks in the rooftop jacuzzi. Ananke proves that even large villas can have a soul.
Villa Gelos, where the good life grows
On the island’s sunny southern side, Gelos keeps things simple with four bedrooms, a sleek design and an infinity view of the Adriatic. Its black and white interiors meet turquoise horizons, providing a mix of play and peace. There’s table tennis for competitive afternoons, a grill for fresh fish and beaches just a short stroll away. The world feels lighter the moment you walk in, because living the good life at Gelos is all part of the deal.
Villa Atropos, elegance by the edge
Atropos is everything Hvar does best: sunlight, stone and style. It sits just above the water, with 180-degree sea vistas and interiors that are simply elegant. You’ll find three floors of soft tones, plush textures and panoramic terraces designed for however you choose to spend your time, from easy mornings to late-night wine. Swim off the rocks below or walk to Pokonji Dol beach, because either way, you’ll be greeted with coastal living at its finest.
Villa Poseidon, where power and peace collide
Poseidon rules the shoreline in Vrboska. It has four bedrooms, an infinity pool, a sauna, a wine cellar — even a Yamaha keyboard. But it never feels overdone. Designed by architects with an eye for balance, it pairs glass, stone and oak in all the right ways. You’re steps from the sea, minutes from town and miles from ordinary life. Whether you’re sipping wine on the terrace or jumping in below, Poseidon reminds you that luxury doesn’t have to be dressed in gold.
Looking ahead to 2026
If 2025 was any sign, our guests know exactly what they love. Seven villas took the spotlight this year, but the story is far from over. New homes are already on the horizon, each waiting for its moment in the sun. So the only real question is — which villas will steal hearts in 2026?
