A complete surprise find on our walk today which is now the absolute highlight of our two weeks on the island of Hvar!!

PachaMama Beach Bar Hvar is a hidden gem! One of those finds that you want to shout to the world how amazing it is but then you also secretly want to keep it all to yourself!

But because of this amazing, sweet, kind, generous proprietor Manuela, one only needs to visit once and you will feel like part of her family. You will become her friend. And you will want to return over and over again. And at this time, you will want to share the experience with many because in this current world, we all need a few hours of escape to a kind and peaceful place. Which is exactly what PachaMama is!

Besides what I already stated, you will want to come for Manuela’s yummy food and drinks! She’s an incredible cook, taking in account how YOU want your meal! And she is cooking as eco-conscious as possible. All fresh local ingredients cooked with solar power and propane gas. No electricity here.

The food was fantastic. Service perfect with a lot of smiles and fun conversation. The setting was simply BLUE-tiful and so magical.

What’s also fun about the setting, right off the sea, is also in the middle of an olive orchard. Manuela actually harvests and preps her own olives and olive oil.

(Watch the video) Joe the doorman/server bought us refreshing Aperol Spritz and a bottle of cold water on ice. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary so we were not to concerned with the budget on this day. But honestly for the stunning location and the friendly service the prices are not crazy expensive. Later we shared a lunch of Bbq shrimps (prawns) with salad followed by warm whole Crayfish and pasta salad with glasses of champagne, all were very nice. There are several ways to get to Pachamuma, the easiest would be water taxi which takes a few minutes from Havr Harbour or a 4km walk along the coastline through the forest. The track is just a well worn rough track but very picturesque, follow the signs to Robinson’s beach but you come to Pachamamas first or ask a local....
