Getting here

How to get to Brač

Brač is separated from the mainland only by the Brač Channel, so you arrive by ferry or catamaran. You will need a car while staying at Vila Maslinica, which is why most guests come over on a car ferry from Split or Makarska.

Timetables change with the seasons, so below you will find an overview of the routes and links to the operators' official websites, which always have the current departures and fares.

With a car

By car ferry

The first figure is the crossing time; the note gives the drive from the port to the house.

  • 50 min Split – Supetar Jadrolinija; the busiest route, year-round with several sailings a day. About 30 min from Supetar to the house.
  • 50 min Makarska – Sumartin Jadrolinija; handy if you are coming from the south or the Makarska Riviera, with fewer sailings than from Split. About 30 min from Sumartin to the house.

Without a car

By catamaran

Catamarans carry foot passengers only, not cars.

  • 70 min Split – Postira – Pučišća Krilo; a new year-round route since November 2026 that docks in Pučišća itself, and on Saturdays also in Omiš. Departures suit island residents: from Split in the afternoon, from Pučišća mostly in the morning.
  • 1 hr Split – Bol Jadrolinija, and other operators in summer. Bol is on the south side of the island, about 40 min by car from the house.

By air

The nearest airports

  • Split Airport The nearest major airport, with flights from all over Europe. The ferry port in Split is about half an hour's drive away.
  • Brač Airport On the island itself, above Bol, with seasonal flights. About 30 min by car to the house.

Tips

Before you travel

  • Arrive early In summer, get to the Split – Supetar ferry at least an hour early, as the queue for cars can be long.
  • Tickets Ferry tickets can be bought online from Jadrolinija or at the ticket office in the port.
  • Wind When a strong bura or jugo is blowing, catamarans are sometimes cancelled. Check the operator's notices before you set off.
  • Directions to the house We send the exact location and directions from the ferry to the house once your booking is confirmed.
