With wonderful views stretching out over the Adriatic Sea, this home tempts you to retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, and spend some quality time with your loved ones instead. The daylight pours in through picture-box windows, inviting you to soak up the Croatian sunshine at every hour of the day. After working up a sweat in your home gym, pamper yourself in this private Finnish sauna and steam room. Alternatively, make a beeline for your private pool and hot tub and just imagine dining alfresco on your shaded balcony before watching dreamy sunsets with a glass of rakija in hand.

Nestled among the unspoiled pine groves and vineyards, this charming villa is situated only moments away from the beach – a gently sloping bay that is ideal for families. Popular for sailing and windsurfing, this sea channel between the islands of Brač and Hvar creates the perfect conditions for watersports. Surrounded by scenic beauty, why don't you explore the coastline and hike along the nearby Vidova Gora Trail Head?

Edge of Dawn

Located just 100 metres from the beach on the south coast of Brač, this eco-friendly home offers panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea. Outside, there’s a large terrace with a swimming pool, hot tub and a comfortable seating area. Head inside for clutter-free spaces and flexible sleeping options – ideal for families staying together. As the electricity for the home is generated through solar panels and stored in batteries, the host kindly asks guests to be mindful of their energy consumption. 

Cloud of Light

This beautiful villa is real show-stopper. High ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and a neutral colour palette mean that it’s bright and airy, the perfect space to chill out in when the temperature is rising. Outside you’ll find a gorgeous pool, which you can gaze upon from the balcony – if you can tear your eyes away from the view of the sea, that is. 

You’ll wake up feeling refreshed from a good night’s sleep – the beds are oh so comfortable. Maybe you’ll whip up a breakfast of fresh fruit and local bread with honey, and take it out to the terrace. As you tuck in, you can plan your day – will you laze by the pool and soak up the sunshine all day? Or perhaps you’ll head to the beach? Brodarica beach is a fourteen-minute walk away and is one of many on this stretch of the coast. In the evening, fire up the barbecue and enjoy feasts on the terrace while the sun is setting. 

After a few days spent sunbathing, swimming and sipping wine, you might be rested enough to explore further afield. Šibenik is a beautiful city, one of the oldest on the Adriatic – it’s just eleven minutes away by car. Meander the narrow streets and admire the cathedral – it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 


Sunbeams & Sea Views

This is a great place to spend time with family and friends. We love the main bedroom with its balcony too. Location-wise, the address is excellent. Explore the nearby historic town of Šibenik or go on an adventure to the Krka and Kornati National Park. With the ferry port of Vodice a short drive away, you can also visit Trogir and Split. And the local beach is only 500 metres away – visit it on foot or with the bicycles provided.

Adriatic Sun

Imagine you're walking through a five-star hotel, a vast, high-end resort of top-class amenities that exude pure luxury. Now, imagine that entire hotel is reserved just for you. This is what it feels like to stay in this villa. 

Jutting out from the verdant forest, this sparkling retreat is a utopia of lavish facilities. The assembly of options lets you settle into whatever pace of life you want – from fast-paced and energised to low-key and leisurely. 

For the active types, start your day with an intense work-out in the gym before winding down in the sauna or steam room. Grab a kayak in the afternoon to explore the water, or hop on a bicycle to discover the pastoral landscape. 

If you like a slower, sleepier vibe, the villa is an idyllic haven. Begin each morning with a coffee by the pool, a dreamy setting to bask in the stunning scenery. Come the afternoon, hire a deluxe boat to roam the water at a gentle pace, enjoying wine from the cellar as you traverse the lake. 

In the evening, choose one of the abundant ways to close a magical day. Sample some Istrian truffles on the outdoor dining space, cook up some local meats on the BBQ or curl up with a film in the home cinema.
