About the Estate

Where Nature Has
Always Been Home

Stari Grad, the oldest city in Croatia, has energy so magical you won't believe it before you feel it. Once you feel it, you'll do your best to stay there. With Oxa Dreamland at your disposal, you can.

In the middle of the Ager plain, far away from curious eyes, you can experience hedonism at its best. You can eat, drink, dance, and enjoy on the land where ancient Greeks had celebrations to honor Dionysus, the god of pleasure. If you sit in the huge 3,000 m² Mediterranean garden with a glass of local wine you won't need anything else — but at Oxa Dreamland, you get more than you need.

  • Direct access to marked walking paths through the Ager fields
  • Working lavender garden & organic olive grove on the property
  • 5 km to Stari Grad · 8 km to Jelsa · 15 km of island beaches

UNESCO World Heritage Site

The Stari Grad Plain —
A Living Landscape

In the 4th century BC, Greek settlers from Paros arrived on the island of Hvar and divided the central plain into a regular grid of agricultural lots — a system called the chora. Unlike virtually every other ancient Greek agricultural landscape, the Hvar Ager has never been ploughed, built over, or significantly altered. The stone boundary walls, drainage channels, and field patterns they created survive exactly as left.

UNESCO recognised this exceptional universial value in 2008. Oxa Dreamland sits within the protected zone — meaning your stay is surrounded by the same unbroken view the colonists would have known. You are not visiting history here. You are living inside it.
