Is it the same eSIM I would use in Split and on the mainland?

Yes. This is one national Croatia plan, so a single eSIM covers Hvar, the ferry, Split and the rest of the country. There is no need for a separate island SIM, and one data allowance works throughout.

What is the signal like on the Pakleni Islands and remote beaches?

Hvar Town and Stari Grad have solid 4G and 5G, but the little Pakleni Islands and Hvar's remoter coves and hilltops can drop to patchy signal. Download maps and boat times before you head out for the day.

Good to know in Hvar

Hvar has no airport, so you arrive by catamaran from Split, usually into Hvar Town, or by car ferry into Stari Grad. Check the Jadrolinija and Krilo apps for sailings, as summer services fill up and weather can cancel crossings.

Two simple ways to buy

Hvar eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Hvar eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Hvar — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

Hvar eSIM: your local data guide.

Timing the water taxi to the Pakleni Islands, climbing to the Fortica for sunset and finding a harbour-side dinner in Hvar Town all rely on data out here. A Hvar eSIM keeps ferry schedules, maps and weather forecasts live from the moment you step off the catamaran, whether you are exploring Stari Grad's UNESCO plain or chasing lavender fields inland.
