Zori Timeless Hotel & Restaurant — Restaurant in Grad Hvar

My family of four had a wonderful, dream-like stay at Zori Timeless Resort in July. The villas are every bit as beautiful as they appear in the website photos, and the hotel feels similar to an Aman resort - very serene, very private. Zori’s family suite (Infinity) was booked for part of our visit, so we stayed in Eternity and Cloud instead. Both residences have lovely, shaded terraces perched just above the beautiful little cove on which Zori sits. Cloud’s rooftop pool is barely to believed - it is so indulgent to lounge by, or dip in the pool while overlooking the cove. I almost pitied the people “stuck” on the luxury yachts moored in the cove, many of whom would come in at night to dine at the Zori restaurant - their accommodations seemed so cramped, so… un-peaceful!

The staff at Zori is extraordinarily kind and attentive - Danijela patiently fielded my many questions in advance of our visit. Damir was our restaurant host for nearly every meal, helped with logistics and was also full of good advice and fun stories. The restaurant itself is incredible - a delicious and creative menu. It is a dining destination from Hvar with water taxis bringing people for lunch and dinner every day. We stayed at Zori for four nights and enjoyed every meal.

My family wanted to be able to explore the other nearby islands and the coast of Hvar, so we rented a very small motorboat for three days (from Segorent, the same company that manages Zori's transfers to & from Hvar). We spent one day circumnavigating Palmizana (and eating at the Fisherman’s House), another exploring the island on which Carpe Diem Beach is located (where we dined at Mlini restaurant, located on a quieter cove), and zipping over to the coast of Hvar on our final day to eat at Notos. All restaurants were excellent, and it was a great way to check out the Pakleni island region.

Overall, I just can’t say enough about Zori Timeless Resort - our visit there was truly wonderful, and we definitely hope to...

My husband, Will, and I had our wedding reception at Zori in June 2018. We decided to hold our wedding reception there after having been to Zori for lunches the previous two years running. The service, food, wine and of course the views have always been fantastic so we knew it would be a great place for a reception. Having said that, we were still blown away by how amazing the reception was on the day, as were our guests. There’s nothing quite like walking through the pine forest and popping out in to Zori with THAT view across the bay. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of it and then blown away again by our arrival across the bay in a speed boat. Even with a large number of guests to cater for Zori absolutely nailed it. The food was excellent (as we knew it would be). All our guests comment on how great the food was and how you would never get such good food at a wedding in England - which is true. In planning the reception Zrinka was an immense help. Always on hand to answer our questions and make sure we got all the personal touchers we wanted. She was a dream to work with. We are both still on a high from the wedding and enjoyed our reception so much, able to completely relax and soak it all in with our guests because we knew the team were sorting everything out and making sure everything ran smoothly. We can never thank them enough for what they did and look forward to many returns for lunch or dinner as...

From the Moment we entered Zori restaurant, to the Moment we left, we have been followed by the most welcoming waiter, whose name is Mate and that soon revealed himself as a passionate Ambassador of local Croatian producers of wine. The food is Simply delicious, we have had a 1kg Red Snapper with grilled vegetables, between the two of us. Thanks to Mate we' ve had the occasion to try two different kinds of olive oil to find the perfect dressing. The fish in fact, a part from a Little olive oil, did not need anything else to enhanced its delicious taste. The selection of Wine Is remarkable. We are glad we've followed Mate's advise in chosing the White wine BIRE GRK, a perfect wedding to the Red Snapper. From then on, we've started a very interesting conversation about the autochthonous Croatian Wines... I have Just One regret :not remembering the name of the other White wine , we have tasted, but from a single glass this time. Simply Gold poured on a glass, which could have been perfect served with scallops, which we had not choosen...another regret or rather, a reason to get back to soon to Zori's restaurant. The view over the Sea shore Is breathtaking. A touch of Paradise. We strogly recommend you dine at Zori' s restaurant when you get to Palmizana...
