With a private pool, sun-soaked terraces and uninterrupted views of the Adriatic Sea, this modern villa is the perfect diving-off point to explore the Croatian coast. Wake up in one of six restful bedrooms and glide straight into the sun through large double doors, where sparkling waters and reliably blue skies await. The living room and dining areas and contemporary, minimal and – most importantly – air-conditioned. When the sizzling sun feels overwhelming, you can comfortably cool off indoors or take a dip in your swimming pool. The beach is a matter of steps away if you want to feel the soothing benefits of natural saltwater on your skin. We suggest hiring a car so you can easily access the nearby village of Vinišće. This quaint fishing community is cradled by low, pine-coloured hills, with a small harbour and unspoiled sandy beach. A little further afield, and also overlooking crystal-clear waters, is the larger town of Trogir. Wind your way through the characterful streets lined with Renaissance, Baroque and Romanesque buildings, and sit down to a spread of seafood at one of the traditional waterfront restaurants.
