July the 10th, 2025 – Hvar has been listed as being among the best islands in the world in 2025 – which likely comes as a surprise to nobody who has spent time in that Dalmatian island paradise.
These double international awards were given as part of the prestigious Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2025. They’re based exclusively on readers’ votes who rate various destinations every year according to criteria such as natural beauty, cultural offers, hospitality and the overall visitor experience.
Hvar has therefore once again found itself listed among the best islands, right at the very top of a list of gorgeous global destinations. After having been ranked among the top ten islands in all of Europe and the world last year, Hvar has once again concretely confirmed its status by winning an enviable third place in Europe and eighth place in the world according to the results of the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2025.
Travel + Leisure is otherwise one of the most influential global travel magazines, whose annual awards are considered a relevant indicator of global tourism trends and the prestige of destinations. The description of Hvar’s award highlights its stunning combination of vineyards, olive groves, lavender fields and the crystal clear Adriatic Sea which gently laps its shores. Then comes the depictions of the pure harmony of preserved tradition and a modern tourist offer, all of which are precious elements that make it a recognisable island pearl.
These international awards further confirm Hvar’s exceptionally strong position on the map of not only the best islands in the world in 2025, but the most respected and prestigious tourist destinations. These consistent international confirmations encourage further interest from guests from all over the world and work to strengthen Hvar’s position on the map of the most prestigious Mediterranean destinations to visit.
