Zavala

Zavala is a secluded anchorage on the southern side of Hvar, tucked beneath dramatic limestone cliffs that drop sharply into crystal-clear water. You drop anchor here and find yourself in a quiet, almost forgotten spot — a world away from the busier harbours on the island. A small village sits at the water's edge with a handful of houses and a local konoba, so you can row ashore for a meal or a cold drink without much fuss.
