Latest reviews on Vis island's beaches

Pritiscina beach
10 Lukas Zarek.

Undoubtedly, this beach is one of the most mesmerizing spots on the island. However, accessing it is quite challenging due to the gravel road, and I suggest avoiding this place if you have a new or low car. An SUV would be a better option to navigate the terrain.

Prirovo beach
8 Soren Jankovic.

The pebble beach is suitable for all age groups and has convenient amenities such as a beach bar and toilets. However, there is a lack of shade during mid-day and no options for sun umbrellas or public showers.

Milna beach
8 Nikola Vranješević

Ok

Smokova beach
8 Jen R.

To reach the beach, a car is necessary and the entrance can be a bit tricky to locate. Once you arrive, a short drive on a dirt road followed by a 20-minute walk through a small canyon will lead you to the stunning sandy beach. The water is delightful and the beach itself is quite pleasant. It's unfortunate that on the way to the beach, you may come across a spot where people discard their litter, but thankfully it's not visible from the beach.

Stiniva Beach
10 Larissa Martelli

This beachside restaurant on Vis is truly excellent. They offer a choice between meat or fish for dinner, with a starter and main course included. We opted for the fish and it was fantastic. The location is absolutely stunning and it's highly recommended that you book early in the day due to limited supplies. The staff are also very friendly and accommodating. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Stoncica beach
10 Zane Zaldivar

This beach on the island of Vis is a true gem, with the colors of the sea gradually changing from a vibrant green to a deep blue as the water spills into the bay. The picturesque scene is further enhanced by the presence of a dozen palm trees swaying gently in the breeze on the shore. However, it's important to note that during peak season, this beach can become quite crowded, so visitors should plan accordingly.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 4 beaches in the island, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
