Milna brings together coastal scenery, nature trails and local history, offering different starting points for a stay. Specific features of the area include two pebble beaches, a gently sloping, wooded coast and a 17th-century summer residence. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, first consider whether scenery, walking trails or cultural heritage is your main priority when choosing a destination.

Getting to Milna

You can get to Milna by organized boat transfer from Hvar Harbour, by car, on foot or by bus. Arrangements and timetables may change seasonally. If you are planning to travel by boat, check the current timetable before setting off. You can compare the different transport options with your own travel plans; for boat travel, take the seasonal timetable into account.

Coast, coves and dining by the water

Milna has two pebble beaches and a gently sloping, wooded coast. Pine trees, agaves, vineyards and orchards add to this landscape. Together, these features include both wooded areas and cultivated elements. Two more wooded coves, Malo Borče and Veliko Borče, lie next to Milna Bay. They provide two additional, clearly named points of interest along the coast, in addition to the beaches. If you are especially guided by scenery when planning your trip, you can consider beaches, wooded coastal stretches and coves as distinct attractions. The family-friendly beaches are next to waterfront restaurants. Restaurants facing south serve seafood and local wines; their orientation and cuisine offer different highlights. Beach conditions and services may vary seasonally. Restaurant operators and listings may also change seasonally. If a restaurant visit is part of your plans, check current information about its opening and operation.

Nature and walking trails

For nature and walking, Milna offers access to nature and walking trails, including herb walks and footpaths that extend in the direction of Hvar Town. These options have different focuses: herb walks draw attention to herbs and nature, while the footpaths are defined by their direction towards Hvar Town. When choosing, you can consider whether you are looking for a nature-focused walk or a route in that direction. If a particular trail is important to your trip, check its current availability in advance.

A historical landmark

Milna’s rural character is associated with a 17th-century summer residence of the noble Ivanić family. The villa is now owned by the Božić-Fio family. Its historical use as a summer residence and its present-day ownership thus represent two distinct points in time in the history of the same villa. It offers a concrete point of reference for local history alongside the area’s landscape and nature. If you also consider culture when choosing a destination, this villa may be a distinct reason to shortlist Milna.
