Full Description & Details
Marina Zlatan Otok is a small private marina in Sveta Nedjelja on the south coast of Hvar Island, tied to the Zlatan Otok winery and its restaurant. It sits below steep vineyards and a cliff, with a handful of berths for boats up to 18 m and 4 m draft inside the breakwater; larger vessels up to 40 m and 7 m draft can moor outside. The marina is exposed to north winds (maestral) that raise waves, so it is not a calm all-weather harbor.
It operates only from May or June through October, matching the summer season. On site are water and electricity at each berth, showers, toilets, Wi-Fi, and a restaurant with a wine cellar below sea level. The village offers pebble beaches, cliff climbing, and the historic cave and monastery above.
How to get there
Approach from the south side of Hvar, heading for the breakwater at Sveta Nedjelja. The marina lies at approximately 43°08.2'N, 016°35.2'E. There is no VHF channel listed; contact the marina by phone or via the winery's website for berth availability.
The entrance is small and the area is open to the north, so time your arrival in settled weather, especially avoiding maestral conditions. By land, reach Sveta Nedjelja by road from Hvar Town or Jelsa; the nearest ferry port is Stari Grad on Hvar, with connections from Split. The nearest airport is Split, then a ferry to Hvar or a catamaran to Hvar Town.
