The Island Honeymoon

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.

Yes. Our advisors' first counsel is to reserve a private boat for a full day, because the finest coves are reachable only from the water. That day can take you out to the Pakleni islets for a swim in a cove kept just for the two of you, then anchor for lunch on deck while the crew slips away and leaves you the sea.

The sun drops behind the Pakleni islets, so the view faces west. Ask for a room facing west and you can watch it from your own window, or settle on a quiet terrace above the harbour as the light softens and the island turns quiet and golden. Your advisor arranges these evenings privately, timed to the light.

Yes. A private boat can take the two of you to a hidden inlet for a dinner set on the shore at dusk. Our advisors suggest keeping one evening of your stay open for it, so the dinner can be arranged wherever the light is best. Like every experience on this journey, it is private and shaped to you.

The Island Honeymoon runs 5-7 days. Those days move between sun-warmed coves and long afternoons on the water, with nothing asked of you but to slow down. Plan one full day on a private boat, since the finest coves are reachable only from the water, and keep one evening open for a shore dinner where the light is best. Many couples spend a night or two in lively Hvar town and the rest in seclusion toward the Pakleni islets or a quiet bay. Your advisor tunes the length to your calendar and pace.

As a private, tailored journey it starts from roughly around US$1,550 per person per night and scales with your dates, party and level of privacy — a starting point, never a fixed package price. Your advisor confirms the figure once the itinerary is tailored.

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. For a honeymoon built around swims in private coves, lunches on deck and sunsets behind the Pakleni islets, our advisors suggest timing your visit from late June onward, for the lavender and the warmest sea. Your Forest Travel advisor times it to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.

Yes. The Island Honeymoon is set across Hvar & the Islands, Croatia & Montenegro: two coastlines of walled cities, wine-terraced islands and hidden coves, all close enough to weave into a single seamless journey by water. Hvar, the brightest island in the Adriatic, sits at its heart, and your Forest Travel advisor designs the whole route end to end, privately and shaped to the two of you.

A day on the Island Honeymoon in Hvar is unhurried. Days move between sun-warmed coves and long afternoons on the water, with nothing asked of you but to slow down. One might mean sailing out to the Pakleni islets for a swim in a cove kept just for the two of you, then anchoring for lunch on deck as the crew slips away and leaves you the sea.

On the Island Honeymoon, Hvar's evenings are yours to fill or leave entirely empty. When the light softens, the island turns quiet and golden. You might watch the sun drop behind the islets from a quiet terrace above the harbour, and our advisors suggest keeping one evening open for a shore dinner, arranged privately wherever the light is best.

Yes. Croatia's Dalmatian coast and islands make a natural honeymoon, and Hvar is the brightest of them. A crewed yacht reaches the Pakleni coves, fifteen minutes off Hvar Town, for a swim and lunch on deck, and the coast flows south into Montenegro's Bay of Kotor for a second chapter. Late May, June and September bring warm seas and far fewer crowds than July and August. The Island Honeymoon starts from around US$1,550 per person per night.
