Hotel Moeesy, Blue & Green Oasis

Rooms and decor

Picture a hotel hidden in a thick seafront pine grove, where a short walk down from the lobby puts you on the beach — that is Hotel Moeesy, Blue & Green Oasis, a design boutique built to be a true blue-and-green oasis. It takes the two colours of its surroundings — the deep blue of the Adriatic and the fresh green of the pines — and makes them the heart of the whole design. The most distinctive part is the 40 rooms and suites, each decorated differently with no two alike. Some lean into bright tones, others into wood and clean lines; windows open to the light and sea breeze, and many look out onto the pines and the deep-blue water. Plenty of reviews agree the rooms are lovely and photograph well from any angle, the beds are comfortable, and the overall feel is quiet enough that it is like slipping away to rest in your own slice of nature. If you prefer a hotel with a design identity over rooms that all look the same, this one lands from the first step.

Food and amenities

The highlight everyone mentions is the outdoor space, designed to blend into the pines and the sea — there are two outdoor pools to choose between for a soak, set among the shade of the pines with water views, and the late afternoon here is heaven for anyone who loves resting by the water. Right alongside is a poolside bar serving cocktails and cold drinks, where you can sit and sip to the sound of the waves and the wind through the pine tops all afternoon. For looking after yourself there is a full-service spa on site, so you can book a relaxing treatment without going anywhere. On the food side there is a hotel restaurant serving both Dalmatian and Mediterranean dishes in a shaded setting, plus breakfast that reviews often single out as an easy way to start the day among birdsong and the smell of pine. What impresses guests just as much is the service — many reviews agree the staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful, which shows up in a guest score among the highest on the island.

Location and getting there

Moeesy's location is a rare balance — the calm of nature and the convenience of the old town at the same time. The hotel sits on the seafront in a pine grove of Hvar Town, just about 30 metres from the beach; step outside and you meet shaded green and the smell of pine over the sound of the waves, a world away from a packed town centre. Yet you can still walk the waterfront path into Hvar old town and the Riva harbour in about 10 minutes. From there it is an easy stroll to St Stephen's Square, the cathedral, restaurants, cafes, and the water-taxi point out to swim at the Pakleni Islands. The ferries and catamarans linking to Split and other islands dock in town too. It suits anyone who wants to wake up and walk the beach, swim, then head into town later for dinner and Hvar's nightlife — sea, nature, and old town all from one stay.

Things to know before booking

Straight talk to help you decide. The first thing to weigh is price — even as a 4-star, being a seafront design boutique in a hotspot like Hvar means summer high-season rates climb very steeply, topping out at the equivalent of around $2,000 a night, and it fills up fast, so book well ahead. The second is getting into town: it is close to the sea and a roughly 10-minute walk to the old town, but the hotel sits in a pine grove with a slight uphill walk, and doing that with heavy luggage may not suit everyone — a taxi or water taxi can help when you are moving bags. The third is room size and view: because every room is designed differently, sizes and positions vary quite a bit, and some are smaller or have more limited views than the photos suggest, so ask and choose your room type carefully to land the one that best fits your budget and expectations.

Our take

Having read through plenty of real guest reviews, our team sees Hotel Moeesy, Blue & Green Oasis as a place that sells a distinctive design identity, a seafront pine-grove oasis feel, and a location that still walks to the old town — and it does all three well enough to land a guest score among the highest in Hvar (Agoda 9.6, Booking 9.6). If your trip in your head is waking up in a stylish room, taking a few steps down to swim by the beach, soaking in a pool among the pines, following it with a spa treatment, then walking the waterfront into the old town for a sunset dinner, this is a well-rounded choice. But if you care most about walking to the central square in a few steps, identically sized rooms, or steadier summer prices, the pine-grove setting and high-season rates here may give you pause. Overall we give it 9.3/10 — best for couples and design lovers who want the sea, nature, and Hvar's old town all in one stay.
