Vis Island accommodation is a low-key affair. Although hotels are few, guesthouses, apartments and villas are plentiful. There's also a lot of brand-new apartments and homes. The real estate boom that followed the filming of Mamma Mia 2 meant that a lot of properties were purchased and renovated with an eye to profiting from the expected tourist influx.

Where to stay on Vis island? Most accommodation is located in either Vis town or Komiza. Komiza is busier and makes an excellent choice if you plan to take a boat to the Blue Cave of Bisevo. Vis town is quieter with more traditional architecture, particularly in the Kut neighbourhood. Komiza has a better beach than Vis town but most of the island's best beaches lie closer to Vis town. For total relaxation and privacy, check out the vacation homes on Vis island which are in more outlying locations.

Apartment Mar

Apartment Mar, Vis island

I can personally recommend this new establishment as I was delighted with my stay. The hostess, Issa, couldn't be more helpful and accommodating and the location in the center of Vis town was perfect. There are rooms with a "kitchen corner" that includes a mini-fridge and an electric kettle and also a full apartment. New and renovated, everything worked perfectly. Be aware that there are stairs to the apartments but Issa is happy to help out.

For a more upscale experience try the new Bella Vista Suites or Villa Mediterana which have pools or the flashy Villa Tangerine.
