Another world from trendy Hvar Town, in a remote turquoise bay backed by fragrant pinewoods, LGB markets itself as a luxurious guesthouse.
Its contemporary design uses natural materials – stone, wood, polished concrete and raw cotton – to create an effortlessly cool 15-room retreat, centring on a pebble beach with floating beanbags and sea kayaks.
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the hip bistro, followed by Mediterranean delights such as original Nicoise salads, homemade ravioli and grilled octopus. They do essential-oil massage in the garden, and will even wizz you to Hvar Town by private speedboat should you wish for a night out.
The hotel sits in its own remote bay, backed by pinewoods, LGB is heaven for nature lovers, with just a few other houses scattered around the shore. This is a place for walking, swimming and snoozing, with no other restaurants or cafes nearby.
The hotel is 5km from Hvar Town, where you’ll find the main cultural attractions and choice of bars, restaurants and boutiques.
