Grab yourself a hefty slice of luxurious island life at this sublime stone-clad villa perched just a few steps from the seafront on the peninsular of Korčula. With a history as rich as its natural beauty (think sandy coves and pine-dense forests), Korčula is a Dalmatian pearl. The postcard-pretty village of Zrnovska Banja is right on your doorstep. Or dive into the medieval streets of Korčula's glorious old town (just five kilometres away) – its bustling konobas for evening feasts are everything you imagined. Though you may find all the ambience you're chasing is back at this magnificent villa perched beside the sea's edge. The panoramas are jaw-dropping from the vast terraces and heated infinity pool – especially at sunset with the outdoor fireplace aglow. And should you ever tire of that (doubtful), follow the steps leading down to a private beach plateau with a sun deck and mooring (just ten metres away) – it's the perfect excuse to charter your own boat. Inside, the house is a perfect choice for guests who value a little extra privacy, with an independent apartment sleeping three guests on the ground level and each stylish bedroom boasting an en-suite. Those looking to stay on top of fitness and work will appreciate the private gym room and dedicated desk area. And you'll all be swooned by the oh-so-chic interiors, with a restful palette of cool blues and crisp whites reminding you the dazzling sea is never far away.
