Maslinica is a world-class destination where a luxury marina and a Baroque castle meet wild, breathtaking nature.
The village offers an authentic Dalmatian getaway at its absolute finest. The stunningly turquoise water, teeming with rich Mediterranean flora and fauna, creates perfect conditions for effortless fun and underwater exploration.
What truly sets Maslinica apart is its natural harmony—in many places, the rocky swimming spots are naturally sheltered by ancient trees. This allows you to enjoy the crystal-clear Adriatic while finding soothing shade even during the hottest midday hours.
Every day here ends with a sunset spectacle that stays with you for a lifetime. Situated on the westernmost tip of Šolta Island, Maslinica offers a front-row seat to the most stunning sunsets in all of Dalmatia.

Dawn to 10:00 AM
Local Time and Morning Rituals
Maslinica wakes up slowly and sensually. It is the perfect moment for runners and early risers; the crickets begin their concert, and the sun, peeking from behind the hills, is just starting to warm the air.
Before the sun begins to bite, local residents head for their ritual morning dip. You’ll recognize them by the way they float vertically in the water, engaged in lively discussions with their neighbors. These rituals last until 10:00 AM, when the village begins to shift as day-trippers arrive from Split and Trogir.
Morning espresso lovers can count on the invigorating aroma of a "mała czarna" (black coffee) in one of the four cafés open since early morning.
Maslinica changes its character every few hours. Depending on the time of day, it offers completely different experiences. Knowing its cycle is the key to avoiding crowds and feeling the true spirit of the island.
THE RHYTHM OF MASLINICA: HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME?
Exploration and the Best Panoramas (Viewpoints): Maslinica is the jewel of Dalmatia. Admire the exterior of the 18th-century castle that once defended the island from pirates, or take a scenic trail in the shade of the trees.
Gastronomy and Afternoon Shelter: Escape the midday heat in one of the 6 restaurants available this season or grab a quick snack at the local Studenac shop.
10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Prime Time for Exploration
This is the busiest time of day, offering three main paths depending on your needs and available time:
Relaxation and Turquoise Waters: Head to the island’s BEACH BAR and the incredible local beach, where you can still find peace and crystal-clear water.

After 6:00 PM
Elite Tranquility and the Golden Hour
