AMFORA – SPECTACULAR ENTRY IN THE ADRIATIC
From Venice to Athens – nothing compares!!!
The largest hotel on Hvar island, Amfora, experiences a total metamorphosis, and is now ready to greet its guests as a luxury resort with the most spectacular cascade pool area in this part of the Adriatic.
Tucked into a tranquil bay, surrounded by a lush pine grove, and only a short ten-minute walk from the historic town of Hvar, Amfora, hvar grand beach resort is the most exciting new resort on the Mediterranean islands. With its state-of-the-art conference facility, diverse amenities and a beautiful private beach, Amfora is ideal for family vacations, team buildings, conferences and special events.
- „Although Amfora's interior was finished last year and the hotel has been operational since then, it is now that, with its brand new, extraordinary cascading pool completed, we may say with full confidence that Amfora's slogan - 'from Venice to Athens, nothing compares' is truly reflected in its full glory. Amfora itself is a self-contained, full-destination resort which includes the entire bay and therefore its name qualification – Amfora grand beach resort. Amfora was built in order to respond to to the international 4 star and 5 star travellers' desire and was built with infrastructure that will actually extend the holiday season, therefore attracting groups off high and peak season. The pool will be a major attraction and Amfora is already generating a lot of interest based on demands that we are seeing from groups, events and individuals including travel providers, adjust tour operators and travel agents.The construction works on Amfora started in 2006 and ended May 2008.“ – says Jacques Bourgeois, CEO of Sunčani Hvar Hotels.
Amfora makes it easy to mix business with pleasure without compromising the finer points of either. Starting with two flexible, large-capacity ballrooms featuring a panoramic view of the bay, Amfora is equipped to host a variety of concurrent events such as conferences, workshops, banquets, outdoor meetings and symposia. The conference center also features a business center, a deluxe boardroom and several meeting rooms where smaller groups can congress in a more personal yet equally scenic space. Banquet and catering services include themed parties and creative menus.
This impressive multi-level resort brings an air of modern style to old world Hvar. Amfora's rooms are super sleek, beholding dramatic views of the Paklinski Islands. Clean lines, warm hues, fantastic patterns and textures come together to highlight every nuance of the natural light.
Inclusive in Amfora's offer is the Bonj 'les bains' luxury palm beach club and its Sensori õ, which will cater for even the most demanding of clientele. Bonj is a unique arhitectural feature in the whole Mediteranean, which has already become the icon of not only Sunčani Hvar but of Hvar itself. Unsurpassed ambiance, private stone cabanas, open-air sea-front massages and stylish yacht parties make this architectural gem widely regarded as the ultimate Hvar experience.
On the right hand side of the resort lies the more accessible Maestral, Dalmatian Beach Grill Restaurant, offering a fine selection of fresh fish and seafood cooked in true Dalmatian tradition. Splash Beach Bar serves smoothies and cocktails all day culminating with the 'must attend' Après Beach Party, celebrating the end of another sunny day on Hvar.
