Eternity — private villa with hammock + jacuzzi + Mediterranean garden on Palmižana, Hvar

FYI, this is a review of both the hotel AND the restaurant: My family of four had a wonderful, dream-like stay at Zori Timeless Resort in July. The villas are every bit as beautiful as they appear in the website photos, and the hotel feels similar to an Aman resort - very serene, very private. Zori’s family suite (Infinity) was booked for part of our visit, so we stayed in Eternity and Cloud instead. Both residences have lovely, shaded terraces perched just above the beautiful little cove on which Zori sits. Cloud’s rooftop pool is barely to believed - it is so indulgent to lounge by, or dip in the pool while overlooking the cove. I almost pitied the people “stuck” on all the luxury yachts moored in the cove, many of whom would come in at night to dine at the Zori restaurant - their accommodations seemed so cramped, so… un-peaceful!!! The staff at Zori is extraordinarily kind and attentive - Danijela patiently fielded my many questions in advance of our visit. Damir was our restaurant host for nearly every meal, helped with logistics and was also full of good advice and fun stories. The restaurant itself is incredible - a delicious and creative menu. It is a dining destination from Hvar with water taxis bringing people for lunch and dinner every day. We stayed at Zori for four nights and enjoyed every meal. My family wanted to be able to explore the other nearby islands and the coast of Hvar, so we rented a very small motorboat for three days (from Segorent, the same company that manages Zori's transfers to & from Hvar). We spent one day circumnavigating Palmizana (and eating at the Fisherman’s House), another exploring the island on which Carpe Diem Beach is located (where we dined at Mlini restaurant, located on a quieter cove), and zipping over to the coast of Hvar on our final day to eat at Notos. All restaurants were excellent, and it was a great way to check out the Pakleni island region. Overall, I just can’t say enough about Zori Timeless Resort - our visit there was truly wonderful, and we definitely hope to return soon!

We were looking for excellent dining, superb service in a delightful setting and we found it again at Zori's restaurant. Another memorable experience of dining as well at a stay at Villa Horizon An amazing setting mingled with the aromas of dishes from the fine dining menu on offer. Impeccable service with extensive knowledge and recommendations incorporated with a warm, friendly and caring service. To complete the dining experience, we were treated to unbelievable luxury and uniqueness during our first stay at one of the newly built private Villas at Zori's. Seeing is believing. Staying is a 'Must'. Luxury is unbeatable from the super king size bed with sumptuous bedding including the biggest pillows in the world to the hammock by the pool and the jacuzzi under the palm trees overlooking the sea. We left the doors from the bedroom and lounge to the outside dining and relaxation area open. We closed the voile curtains around our bed, sank into the sateen sheets and our experience was completed by falling asleep to the sound of the sea. AMAZING Words cannot justify or describe in full the wonderful time we had. Thank you to everyone at Zoris Debbie and Gary x

It was an amazing night eating at Zori in Hvar. We stayed 3 nights with the boat and we spent 2 nights eating at Zori! Which already means a lot! The service was excellent, as well as the food. Great menu and really pretty restaurant! We will come back for sure

While sailing in Croatia we stayed at the ACI marina on the other side of the island and had a pleasant 10 minute walk to this restaurant for an early dinner. We were lucky enough to be looked after by Stipe who advised us on food choices and an excellent red wine. Many others have already described the beautiful setting, atmosphere and decor in the restaurant. It is stunning and we found the food very good. But for us the standout (and reason why we came back a few day later, changing our return sailing route to do so) was the wine list (quality and value for money) and service. Stipe was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, four our second meal he chose all our drinks based on our food choices and we had the opportunity to try in total (over 2 meals) 7 different local wines. The standout of us were, from the reds, Pošip Grgić and Babić Gracin and for the whites: Malv Benvenuti ... I was also very keen on a grapa Berta TreSoliTre!
