Hvar Away founders Elisha & Matt moved to Hvar in 2020, having visited the island only once before. They set out to build a life on this small island by helping others experience its magic. Today, their belief is that the best way of discovering special places is through those who call it home. We pride ourselves in helping you to design your dream holiday on Hvar. We are glad to assist you with any enrichments for your stay; from practical help with car rentals or transfers, to trip-enhancing experiences such as boat charters, private chef, or guided tours.

A stunning location on one of Hvar’s most spectacular stretches of coastline, Luma Hvar occupies an enviable position indeed. With its elegant interiors, spectacular views, direct sea access, and walking distance to the village’s cafes and minimart, Luma Hvar offers the perfect balance for many of our guests. The delightful long, tiered garden opens out onto the shoreline, allowing you to move from deck-lounging to sea-swimming in just a few carefree flip-flop steps. Accommodation at Luma Hvar is laid out over two floors. The main entrance door is at the side of the house down a short staircase, and opens into a bright entranceway leading to an open-plan living area and kitchen. The living area is furnished with a sofa to one side and the fully-equipped kitchen features a gorgeous stone worktop. Wide, wood-framed harmonica-style glass doors in the centre of the living area bring in the sea views and allow you to step out onto the shaded, roofed dining terrace and the tiered garden with ease. Another door near the far side of the kitchen, at the end of the entrance hallway, provides access to the rear terrace, where you’ll find a large barbecue grill perfect for preparing al fresco meals. Back in the main living space, a staircase leads upstairs, which hosts four bedrooms positioned in a circular layout around the hallway. Let’s head back outside. Luma Hvar boasts a sizeable, tiered seafront garden and offers plenty of possibilities for al fresco living. Much of this space is shaded and there are two dining areas and plenty of seating for those who wish to gaze out to sea or settle down with a book. Steps lead down from the dining area to the deck, complete with sun loungers and shaded by Mediterranean pine. Steps continue to lead down, past the outdoor shower for after your swim, closer to the sea, until you reach the threshold at the end of the garden to access the transparent waters of the Adriatic.
