Because of its beauty, Paklinski archipelago was proclaimed protected landscape.
Construction is forbidden.
The accommodation on Palmižana is decorated in old (authentic) buildings and their original measures. All the original structures were renovated. Everything is subject to nature.
A few years ago there was neither electricity nor water on Palmižana. Today all rooms have air conditioning. All rooms, bungalows and villas have private bathrooms with hot and cold water, although water is still transported to the island by water carrying ships, which unfortunately do not arrive when they are most needed. It is precious and expensive.
Our guests have at their disposal all the benefits of civilisation, but Palmižana is still an island far away from the civilisation.
The nearest emergency rooms is in town of Hvar /15 min ride by boat/ and the nearest hospital in Split, from 45 min to 2 hours time distance, depending on the ferry boats schedules.
Palmižana is not an artificial tourist resort like the ones built uniformly around the world. It is a unique and original landscape created and enriched for decades by its inhabitants. It is a landscape visited by people for over a century in order to enjoy close contact with nature, sacrificing some of the comforts of civilisation. Short walks around the islands and its narrow and steep paths, through the luscious forest, somewhere still intact and impervious, lead you to absolutely solitary pebble beaches.
Therefore, even in the peak of the season you can avoid yachts and day-trippers and find a number of your own peaceful havens for swimming and sunbathing. In July and August Palmižana's natural beauty and excellent cuisine attracts numerous cruisers.
Nature is filled with diverse Mediterranean flora and fauna and full of endemic species. The buildings' surrounding is a rich tropical garden with exotic plants, such as palm trees, yuccas and cycas, cactuses, opuntias tall as trees. There are many birds, peacocks and pheasants walking around the terraces, completely domesticated. The crickets are loud.
Because of the flowers, there are many bees, and the honey from the island of Hvar, made specially from lavender, sage and rosemary, is highly appreciated all over the world. All the houses and apartments have modern screens on the windows to keep the flies and mosquitoes away, during the hot season we recommend mosquitoes protection in form of spray or cream.
The preservation of nature and its plant and animal wealth is why the island of St. Clement and has for several years been the subject of research by a group of environmentalists. It may be interesting to note that they have not found traces of poisonous snakes which are usually found on numerous Mediterranean islands.
For those who wish to spend their evening in civilisation, there are many taxi boats at their disposal. The ride to one of the most famous destinations in the Adriatic – the town of Hvar, filled with restaurants, cafes, discotheques, shops, concert venues – is approximately 10-15 minutes.
