A dream retreat between mountains and sea – pure relaxation in Nautilus Bay! Our holiday on Hvar at Nautilus Bay was completely restful, relaxing, and inspiring. The apartments are brand new, spacious, spotlessly clean, and exceptionally tastefully furnished. Every detail has truly been considered – from the top-notch amenities to practical touches like reliable mosquito nets, allowing you to enjoy mosquito-free evenings. The terrace offers blissful tranquility as the sea gently shimmers through the trees. The location is simply perfect: Just a few minutes' walk takes you directly to the water or one of the relaxed beach bars. The stroll along the idyllic coastal path to Zavala is particularly lovely – a wonderfully authentic little town with warm and welcoming hosts, where you can enjoy excellent meals in the evening. A true highlight was the hospitality: Florian taking us on the ZAR boat to hidden coves and beach bars was a real luxury and an unforgettable experience! The location is also a dream for active vacationers: The panoramic road in the south of Hvar begins above Nautilus Bay and is truly unparalleled. Mountain bikers will find plenty to enjoy on the gravel roads leading inland. You'll reach secluded spots and always have a breathtaking view of the rugged mountains, the coastline, and the deep blue sea with its offshore islands. Especially in September, Hvar showed its most tranquil, virtually untouched side – perfect for fully immersing yourself in this beautiful island. We would love to come back again!

Our experience was exceptionally positive. Even before our arrival, we received all the necessary information about the apartment, its location, and even the ferry schedule for both our arrival on and departure from the island. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Steffi, who was extremely friendly and helpful, providing us with additional useful information about the area. The apartment is fully and modernly equipped. Both the bedroom and the living room have air conditioning. The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, a fridge and freezer, a coffee machine, and a milk frother. There is plenty of kitchenware, as well as a lovely selection of wine and sparkling wine glasses. The bathroom and toilet are separate. Upon arrival, we were provided with all the towels we needed. During our stay, we could also wash them in the washing machine located in a separate utility room next to the apartment, which is also equipped with a tumble dryer and an ironing station. The apartment has a beautiful terrace overlooking the garden, making it a lovely place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Zavala is an excellent choice if you are looking for peace and tranquillity and are happy with a few local bars and traditional taverns serving delicious food.

5 stars! Absolutely recommended on Hvar What a wonderful location! The Nautilus Bay Suites were the perfect home base for us on Hvar. A beautiful location with sea views, high-quality and very tastefully furnished, yet also functionally well-designed. Plus, a large private balcony/terrace, a lovely, well-maintained outdoor area (with thoughtful touches like a gas grill) – and hosts who take care of everything. In less than five minutes, you're at the sea in a stunning, almost private bay and directly on the idyllic coastal path, which you can take for a wonderful stroll along the sea to the town (Zavala) (about a 15-minute walk, even illuminated in the evenings). And both in the town itself and right along the coastal path, there are fantastic beach bars and restaurants – each one more beautiful than the last. For us, Nautilus Bay was the perfect starting point for exploring Hvar by car, mountain bike, and on foot. The island is incredibly diverse, picturesque, and offers beautiful spots without being overcrowded everywhere. We had a wonderful holiday and would come back anytime. Highly recommended! Thank you for this great time!

First of all, I would like to say that our vacation in the house was magical and very fulfilling, thanks to the quality of service provided, the divine interior and the beautiful beach located right next to the house. The house exudes idyll, warmth and the owners are very friendly. Divine view of the sea, the sound of the waves, minimalist apartments and at the same time very warm. We will return here again with the children

We had a fantastic time in this vacation rental! Everything was great – the apartment was very clean, cozy, and equipped with everything we needed. We were especially thrilled with the location: just 100 meters from the beach! This meant we could jump straight into the sea in the morning and start the day in a relaxed way. The surrounding area was also great – restaurants and cafes are within walking distance. A big thank you to the hosts, who were very friendly and helpful – we felt welcome immediately. Thank you so much for this wonderful vacation! We will definitely be back.

"A luxuriously furnished apartment just a few meters from the sea. We stayed here at the beginning of October, after the tourist season. The organization for key handover was flawless, and there was parking by the apartment. Ideal for a family with children or 4 adults. Beautiful terrace with a sea view. The price is completely in line with the amenities, offering all the comfort you need. The only downside was that we couldn't stay longer."

Our stay in a Nautilus Bay Suites apartment was simply wonderful. The location is very quiet, ideal for relaxing and unwinding. The lovingly landscaped garden with large trees, which is very well maintained and offers a nice lounge area, was particularly impressive. Restaurants can be easily reached via the beach promenade. The comfortable bed ensured restful nights. The apartment itself was cozy, clean and equipped with everything you need. Florian and Steffi take great care of the guests and give valuable information about the area. I can recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a quiet break in a fantastic setting!

We report to Nautilus Bay, Villa Gorma in Zavala. The small, charming fishing village is a place for those seeking peace and quiet who want to completely escape the normal hustle and bustle of society. The hosts are incredibly helpful and caring. The apartment is very well maintained, a small kitchen with everything you need. The bedroom (very comfortable bed!) is divided from the spacious living room with a folding door. From the living room there is a huge terrace with an incredible view of the sea. There you will find deck chairs, a lounge and a breakfast table. On top of that, you can go directly from the terrace into the covered carport or with about 10 more steps you can simply jump headfirst into the sea 🙃 If you want to relax or relax, this is the perfect place for you! In any case, we'll be back very soon 🇭🇷❤️ P. S. There is no need to lug around lounge mats, beach bags etc. as the shower, fridge and mega terrace are only separated from the sea by a few steps 🏊‍♀️🚿🍺

We were very surprised, Zavala is even suitable for an Easter holiday. Even the journey from Split by ferry was an experience, and only then was the view after leaving the tunnel - the many islands in the turquoise sea glittering in the sun. The resort was easy to find. Our rooms were simple, the bathroom was new, the living room was spacious and the kitchen was fully equipped with modern appliances. Around the house you can admire the typical Mediterranean vegetation, pine, olive, almond, pomegranate trees, agaves, oleanders... even the roses are already in bloom. As expected, the sea was still too cold for swimming, but just sitting on the beach or on the rocks and watching the waves is totally relaxing. There are a few opportunities for walking and hiking, there is a path along the sea to the village and the port, hiking to the mountains is a little more difficult, but the reward is a magnificent view. Our conclusion: Our Easter vacation was beautiful. We would like to thank our hosts, who welcomed us so kindly and willingly gave us information and good tips for excursions and restaurant visits.

This is our second time staying at the Nautilus and it's a real respite. A calm in the house and surroundings. The house is a bit away from the crowded beaches. Anyone looking for a clean house with guaranteed relaxation is in good hands here. Short distances to the beach and a great view of the sea included. Just awesome.

Location f. Good near the sea, cleanliness, dishes, lingerie all at superlative. The balconies overlook the sea, the landscape is wonderful, the only place less pleasant is the private beach with gravel, but beside the beach is a place for rest, relaxation, or reading in the shade of trees, with beds and mattresses, where it is cool, full summer. The sociable hosts, speaking English or German, offers you the necessary information or bookings at the restaurant. In description on the site there is no exaggeration everything is real.
