Hi, I’m Viktorija, the host of VIScovery B&B in Rukavac, on the southern side of beautiful Vis Island. After years of exploring and sharing the hidden gems of Vis, I created VIScovery to help travelers experience the island more deeply and comfortably.
At our B&B, we combine local knowledge, warm hospitality, and personalized service—so whether it’s your first time on Vis or your fifth, you’ll feel at home. I’m happy to help with everything from transfers and recommendations to local tours or beach spots only the locals know.
I speak six languages and truly love meeting people from all over the world. I’m passionate about nature, fresh local food, and active outdoor experiences—from hiking and cycling to swimming, diving, and discovering secret coves. Sharing these experiences with guests is my greatest joy, and I make sure that every stay is tailored to what makes you happiest.
I also love cooking and trying new local recipes, so I often include tips and suggestions for tasting the best food and wine Vis has to offer. My goal is for every guest to feel inspired to explore the island, enjoy its slower rhythms, and maybe even fall a little in love with Vis—as many of my returning guests do.
Staying at VIScovery B&B is more than just a place to sleep: it’s a chance to experience the island as if you were a local, to discover hidden treasures, and to create memories that last long after your trip. I’ll be here to guide, share, and make sure your time on Vis is effortless, fun, and unforgettable.
I believe that with the right mix of adventure, relaxation, and personal touch, your stay here will leave you wanting just a little more time on this magical island—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Neighborhood info
Vis island and our village of Rukavac are one of those rare Mediterranean places that still feel undiscovered. This small seaside village on the southern side of the island of Vis is loved by travelers who are looking for crystal-clear water, beautiful natural beaches, and a peaceful atmosphere far away from mass tourism.
The sea here is incredibly clean and calm, perfect for swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing by the shore. Only a short walk from the village you will find the famous Srebrna Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on Vis, known for its smooth white pebbles, turquoise water, and magical sunsets. Nearby is also the spectacular Stiniva Cove, a hidden bay surrounded by high cliffs that was once voted one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe.
Rukavac itself has a wonderful relaxed charm. Along the waterfront you will find a few excellent family-run restaurants where guests can enjoy freshly caught fish, grilled seafood, local olive oil, and authentic Dalmatian dishes while sitting right by the sea. Evenings here are slow and atmospheric, with warm sea breezes and quiet coastal walks.
The island of Vis is often described as Croatia’s most authentic island. For many years it was closed to foreign visitors as a military island, which preserved its untouched nature, traditional stone villages, vineyards, and incredibly clear Adriatic waters.
Within a short drive you can visit the historic town of Vis, with its charming harbor, cafés, and waterfront promenade, or the picturesque fishing village of Komiža, famous for its colorful boats.
Vis is also the perfect base for unforgettable adventures – boat trips to the Blue Cave on the nearby island of Biševo, hidden military tunnels carved into the cliffs, scenic hiking and cycling routes through vineyards, and some of the best diving and snorkeling spots in Croatia.
Guests who stay in Rukavac often say the same thing: they came for a few days and wished they had stayed longer.
