As you arrive at the picturesque Tvrdni Dolac Bay in Gdinj, on the eastern side of Hvar Island, you’ll step into a timeless scene of natural beauty. Surrounded by old olive trees that stand as living testaments to the island’s heritage, the gentle sound of the sea sets the perfect backdrop for your experience.

Your dining begins with a warm welcome from the hosts Jelena & Zoran, offering a homemade drink crafted from local herbs and fruits.

Sometimes, a slower life is exactly what we need. At Plamea Hvar, nestled among olive trees and overlooking the Adriatic, we invite you to pause, breathe, and rediscover food as it once was—simple, seasonal, and deeply nourishing.

Through regenerative tourism, we open our doors to you. You’ll walk through our olive grove, touch the soil, and see where your food grows. The same vegetables, fruits, herbs, and olives you’ll later taste at the table are the ones flourishing just steps away.

This is not food as a trend—it’s food as a return. To health. To balance. To something real. We never use anything in our garden that we wouldn’t give to our own children. No pesticides, no chemicals—only what nature and hands prepare together.

You’ll enjoy our homemade sourdough bread, wild unpasteurized vinegar (one of our great labors of love), fermented and preserved delicacies, fresh herbs, and of course, our extra virgin olive oil—pressed with care and served with purpose.
More than just a tasting, this is an experience of life lived slowly. A moment of silence under the olive trees. The sea breeze. A long conversation around the table. A feeling of lightness, of connection.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Walk through an organic olive grove and our garden and learn about traditional cultivation and permaculture principles
• Taste estate-made olive oil, wild vinegar, fermented foods, and fresh garden produce

This journey offers more than a meal—it offers an authentic connection to the land, the culture, and the traditions of Hvar. It’s our way of sharing, teaching, and learning together. Because small changes—toward healthier food, toward more mindful living—begin around the table.
