Sveti Klement: Pakleni Islands Visitor & Access Guide

Quick answer: Sveti Klement is the main landmass of the Pakleni group. Palmižana is a place on it, not another island. The government inventory also records Vlaka and Momića Polje as settlements.

Source check: 18 October 2026. Geographic references include historical inventories; this date is not a confirmation of live boat service or permission to land.

A whole day, not a checklist

Let Sveti Klement be the day you stop rushing. Choose one bay, leave time for a swim and lunch, and let the boat journey become part of the escape. Palmižana makes a useful starting point for visitors who want a recognisable destination; the island also rewards a more deliberate choice of arrival point.

Shape the day around what matters to you

  1. Decide whether your priority is Vinogradišće beach, the Palmižana marina side or another agreed bay. Give the operator that name rather than the island alone.
  2. Keep the middle of the day flexible for your chosen beach or a separately confirmed restaurant reservation. Build walking time into any transfer between the marina and beach sides.
  3. Arrange the pickup side and final return before disembarking. A beautiful lunch is less relaxing when the boat meeting point is unclear.

Best for travellers who want a beach-and-lunch day with an identifiable base. If you want several islands in one outing, compare a cruise itinerary instead of assuming a taxi-boat ticket includes island hopping.

The largest island: Palmižana, Vlaka and choosing your landing bay

Choose a named bay before arranging transport. A booking that says only “Sveti Klement” is not enough to establish where you will step ashore or meet the return boat.

How to fit this place into your visit

For a beach-and-lunch day, begin with the dedicated Palmižana guide. For a broader island visit, ask your operator which other bay is included and whether a stop is ashore or at anchor. Do not treat the island as a single walkable resort.

Access and facilities: what remains unverified

The Hvar tourist board distinguishes Vinogradišće beach from Palmižana marina: you can approach the beach by boat or walk from the marina side. Confirm your arrival and collection side before leaving Hvar.

Before booking

  1. Confirm the exact place name and a map pin with the operator.
  2. Establish whether this is a pass-by, an offshore stop or an agreed landing.
  3. Keep the return arrangement and weather alternative with your booking.
