Murvica

Zlatni Rat's quiet neighbour: cliffs, vineyards and pines.

No photo yet. We don’t lie with pictures.

How we rated it: nothing lifts it and nothing sinks it.

The hang

Murvica is a short drive west of Bol on Brač, down a short but steep descent, and far less busy than Zlatni Rat next door, in Vogue's words, with cliffs, vineyards and pines around it. Facilities are limited: a seasonal bar with ice cream and cold drinks, and a roadside shop whose hours one guide calls unreliable. Bring what you need. We measured 135 metres.

The real intel

Best months · warmest sea: July and August (25.7 °C each), then September. Coolest: February (14.6 °C). One year of data, 2025.
Best months · emptiest: Most of the time, compared with Zlatni Rat.
Getting there: A short drive west of Bol, then a short, steep descent.
The catch nobody tells you: Limited facilities and a shop that keeps its own hours. Come prepared.
