Holiday Villas in Maslinica to Rent 2024/2025

Maslinica travel guide

Pretty village and 18th century castle (now a hotel) in a delightful bay sheltered by small islands. A place to enjoy nature

Maslinica means "where the olives are". It is a charming seaside village on the island of Solta, just a short hop from Split on a ferry (1 hour or 15 min) or private boat. It is quite undiscovered but sophisticated; go there before the crowds arrive. Traditionally this was a place where people fished and grew their vines and olives, but now it has select villas, authentic cottages and a sprinkling of restaurants and cafes. Maslinica is the home to a beautifully restored old castle, now the luxury hotel Martinis Marchi with a good restaurant, next to a new 35 berth marina (book the hotel with Croatian Villa Holidays). Snorkelling, swimming, sailing and scuba diving are the water sports and you can also rent scooters and bikes to visit lovely beaches and villages. The place has stunning sunsets as it is on the west side of the island.

Guided tours can be arranged to the honey farm where honey is made from local aromatic herbs, such as rosemary, sage and lavender. On the tour to the olive groves you can enjoy a local lunch based on the healthy Mediterranean diet. We can also provide private boat trips and excursions around Solta, Brac and Hvar islands.

Getting there. The car ferry from Split comes to Rogac, and you have a 7km ride to Maslinica. A yellow bus takes you there in 15 min or take a taxi.
