Nature Retreat Villa Marina, Private Heated Pool, Sea Views, Makarska, Croatia

WELCOME TO VILLA MARINA — YOUR PRIVATE MEDITERRANEAN ESCAPE IN MAKARSKA, CROATIA

Perched on a sun-drenched hillside above the charming coastal town of Makarska, Villa Marina is a beautifully maintained three-bedroom, three-bathroom Mediterranean villa surrounded by olive groves, Mediterranean gardens, and fragrant lavender. With a private heated pool, panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea, and the dramatic Biokovo mountain rising behind you, this is the perfect base for an unforgettable Croatian holiday.

Wake up each morning to breathtaking views stretching across the turquoise Adriatic to the islands of Hvar and Brač on the horizon. Watch spectacular sunsets from the terrace. Breathe in the scent of rosemary, lavender, and pine as you relax by the pool with a glass of local Croatian wine.

THE VILLA — THREE FLOORS OF COMFORT

Villa Marina spans three spacious floors, each approximately 60 square meters, offering generous living space for up to 6 guests.

Ground Floor:
A modern kitchen provides cooking space, alongside a bright living room with air conditioning, flat-screen TV, and a large dining area comfortably seating 10 or more guests — perfect for family dinners and entertaining. This floor offers access to a spacious terrace with stunning views of the Adriatic Sea, Makarska harbor, and the islands of Hvar and Brač. Furnished with deck chairs and loungers, this terrace is the perfect spot to watch the sunset with a drink in hand. Direct access to the private heated pool and outdoor lounge area. A full bathroom and a laundry room with a washing machine complete this level.

First Floor:
Step into a welcoming open-plan living area featuring a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances and a comfortable living room filled with natural light. Sliding doors from the kitchen open onto a balcony with sweeping panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea, Makarska harbor, and the islands of Hvar and Brač. This floor also includes the elegant Peach Room — a king-size master bedroom with ample storage and natural light. A full bathroom completes this level.

Second Floor (Top Floor):
The entire top floor is air-conditioned and features two bedrooms — the Purple Room with a king-size bed and the Blue Room with a queen-size bed — both with direct balcony access offering the villa's most expansive panoramic views of the Adriatic coastline and islands. A dedicated working area, full bathroom, and a comfortable sitting area complete this level.

A baby cot is available free of charge upon request.

This was a highlight on our month long European trip. Beautifully appointed, spacious, amazing outside spaces including a wonderful pool we loved swimming in daily. It is up a hill which we had some trouble finding ONLY because our GPS and phones failed the day we arrived. Amazingly, the family who built it came down to town and led us back to the house which was beyond kind. They are a warm, accommodating family and they built this for themselves so it is a super special home. We loved the nearby local restaurants for dinner and highly recommend staying here. You will enjoy the peace and quiet, drop dead water views, as well as relaxing in the home.

Excellent villa

We had a fantastic time staying in this excellent villa. Spotlessly clean. Good location outside of the main town. Quiet, but within easy walking distance of 2 good restaurants. Stunning view from the villa. Lovely pool- more of a plunge pool, but big enough for the kids to cool off! Excellent communication with the host Marijana. Both Marijana and her brother could not have been more helpful for us. Would thoroughly recommend the villa and Croatia.

Comfortable villa with stunning views

Very clean and well equipped large villa, with fantastic views. The owners were helpful, and replied to any questions quickly. The villa was ideal for relaxing in, with sunny spots and shady areas for some relief! Kitchens were very well equipped so cooking on nights in was easy, bedrooms were comfortable and living areas were big enough to have plenty of space. Air conditioning was in the living areas, but kept the whole property sufficiently cool at night. It is very peaceful, but not far by car to shops, restaurants, bars etc. It was quite a walk into town and the beach, but there were car parks at the bottom of the hill to save the long walk back up! The local restaurant was well worth a visit, both for the view and the food. It was a great base for a beach holiday, although if you walk slightly away from the main beach you can find quieter areas as the main town beach was very crowded. You can also explore the islands on one of the many boat trips from the harbour, We enjoyed simply meandering along the coast line, either in the car and finding little villages, or on foot along the coastal footpaths. Split, Trogir and Omis were good for days out. Fantastic property in a lovely area.

What a treasure

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this incredibly well presented and spotlessly clean house. We loved being a 5 minute drive up the mountain to have our own space especially as we were visiting in peak tourist time. It was incredibly peaceful and quiet and we enjoyed our 5 day stay enormously. It is well located and very easy to drive to other beaches and towns along the Croatian Riviera. Both Marijana and her son are truly charming and helpful and we fully recommend this property.

Fantastisch!

Wie verbrachten 2 Wochen in diesem gemütlichen Haus und haben es genossen! Es ist super ausgestattet, sauber und geschmackvoll möbliert. Marjana und ihre Familie waren unglaublich nett und zuvorkommend. Wir haben selten solch gastfreundliche Gastgeber erlebt. Danke dafür! Also wer etwas Ruhe abseits der Touristenmassen sucht, ist in diesem Haus genau richtig. Trotz ruhiger Lage ist man in 5 Fahrminuten am Strand und in Makarska. Die Küste der Makarska Riviera ist spektakulär. Trotz vielen Touristen hat es ihre Authentizität nicht verloren. Absolut zu empfehlen!
