Bol and Murvica · Island of Brač · Croatia
Best of Bol names one place we recommend in each category in Bol and Murvica, on the island of Brač in Croatia, and says why: where to stay, what to do, where to eat and what to see. Every business we pick is run by a local family who live on the island all year. Start with our picks, read the guides, or find the quickest way here.
One pick for each kind of stay, with the facts you need to book direct.
Local family business
Four family-run apartments, each with a sea-view balcony or terrace, 200 m from the sea and 350 m from Bol harbour. They sleep 2 to 6 and each has its own free parking space.
Apartments Kristian belongs to the family behind Best of Bol. We hold it to the same test and checks as every other pick.
Local family business
A villa in Murvica, west of Bol, with four en-suite bedrooms, a heated jacuzzi for six and a sea view across to Hvar. It sleeps 8 adults and 2 babies, and the beach is a five-minute walk away.

Local family business
A family-owned campsite among olive trees in Bol, open since 1983, with tent pitches, bungalows, cabin houses, an apartment and a holiday house. The nearest beach is 500 m away and Zlatni rat a 10 to 15 minute walk.
One pick per category. Windsurfing, bikes and boat trips have one in Bol and one towards Murvica or a second kind of trip, so you can choose what suits you.
Every pick is a local family business. Each one is owned by a family who live on Brač all year round. When you book with them, your money stays on the island and helps local people keep living here. Why this matters
Without a car, the quickest way from Split is the catamaran straight into Bol harbour, about 55 minutes. With a car, take the ferry to Supetar and drive across the island.
