Home/Where to stay/Milna/4- and 5-star hotels
4- and 5-star hotels in Milna
This shortlist covers the 4- and 5-star hotels and villas in Milna, the sheltered harbour town on the western coast of Brač. It is for couples, families and groups who want a quiet Dalmatian base within walking distance of the waterfront.
Staying in Milna
Milna has kept a low-key atmosphere compared with the busier towns on Brač. The waterfront is lined with restaurants and cafés, the town remains small and walkable, and the bay is a popular stop for sailors exploring the Dalmatian coast. The hills around it give views over the water and neighbouring islands, and the town is a good base for exploring the island's famous white stone. Milna sits at the end of a deep bay on the western coast of Brač, about 20 kilometres from Supetar.
The hotels and villas listed sit in and just above the centre or along the eastern side of the bay. Several addresses are on the waterfront or within a few hundred metres of it: Hotel Milna Osam, Villa Slika on Riva, Villa Old Mill, Villa Vicina and the 6 Bedroom Gorgeous Home are all within about half a kilometre of the centre. Others, such as Cozy Home and Villa Anna at Uvala Vlaska or Gava Waterman at Nadosibova, are 1.5 kilometres or less away. It suits couples on a short break, families, and groups who want space and a pool rather than a town-centre hotel.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Milna is on the island of Brač, connected to the mainland by ferry from Split to Supetar, and by catamaran to Milna from Split. The catamaran from Split takes about 30 minutes and docks in the centre of Milna. By car, you can take the ferry from Split to Supetar and then drive across the island to Milna, which takes about 30 minutes. Local buses connect Milna with Supetar and other towns on Brač. Once in Milna, everything is within walking distance, but a car or scooter is useful for exploring the island's beaches and villages.
When to go
The best time to visit Milna is from May to October, when the weather is warm and the sea is suitable for swimming. July and August are the busiest months, with many sailors and tourists. June and September offer similar weather with fewer crowds. Winter is quiet, and some restaurants and hotels may be closed. The town is particularly lively during the summer sailing season, when the harbour fills with yachts.
