Brac Island
Brac Island is a fantastic choice for a villa holiday in Croatia. Take a flight to Split & ferry hop in about an hour to Brac Island to explore unspoiled Croatian beaches, some of the best Croatian food and wine & charming sea edge villages full of ambiance. There are no shortage of activities on Brac Island, from boat trips to windsurfing, agro-tourism in the island’s rural interior and some great places to eat or just exploring…
Where to stay
Villa Corrine which now has 6 bedrooms and the most beautiful garden full of fresh produce, if you have a budding chef in your party, this could tick all the boxes . On the beach itself there is a restaurant/ beach bar and a snack bar with another restaurant just outside the village – nearby Supetar is a 5 minute drive or 25 minute walk along the beach with a supermarket/craft shops and a good selection of restaurants, and its easy with 14 ferries a day to hop on one as a foot passenger and have a day/night out in Split old town – last ferry back just before midnight.
Villa Godistar a 5 bedroom all en-suite gets great reviews and was featured in the Mail on Sunday Travel section – Mail on Sunday Travel section . The villa owner and has an excursions company so you have really great hosts here! One of the best Croatian Island villas in our opinion. You have a beach bar and restaurant a short wander away and lots to explore as I said above. It’s in Sumartin Bay and it’s really lovely. Obviously locations do vary a lot in Croatia but in terms of Croatian Island Villas and the area around the villa – you sort of feel like you are in your own part of the island. You can hop to Makarska very easily which is another great place to visit and nice day trip (ferry from Sumartin itself) and Bol Town is nearby which is well worth a visit. Brac Island is absolutely beautiful I have to say, lots of great places to see. Have a look at these Brac Island Locations.
Villa Sinatra in Sumartin Bay – a really lovely place and the beaches are great. This villa has 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms, pool & is very close to the sea, has great views and within easy walking distance of all your day to day needs. Sumartin has a nice buzz about it and is has everything you need and there’s lots to explore in the vicinity – some great places to visit by boat too. Bol Town is nearby – about 30 mins in a taxi, with lots of bars and nightlife which is well worth a visit. There is also Mount Vidova Gora to climb with smashing views or plenty of other activities.
Villa Tallula would be a very nice villa – 50 metres to the first beach and 100 metres into the little sea edge town of Sumartin Bay on Brac Island (50 minutes ferry from Split Port) with restaurants and more beaches. It’s made up of two apartments ( separate entrances ) – and three bedrooms can be made up as twins. It has another house next door with three extra apartments for larger groups ( ground floor so you are not overlooked and they do not have use of the pool ). With the extra apartments it sleeps 16+10 (26 in total).
Villa Marina is right on the seafront in lovely Milna Bay – recently completed in 2017 to a very high standard, this stunning, luxurious 5 bedroom villa gives you terraces and balconies on which to relax with a glass of local wine as the yachts pass into the marina, or perhaps just spend your days lazing beside the 42m2 of pools with a swim jet, separate whirlpool and children’s pool.
Villa Belle Victoria is in Sumartin Bay which is very pretty with great beaches, right in the harbour too so an easy walk to the shop and restaurants. the villa consists of a three bedroom apartment on the ground floor and two one bedroom studios upstairs there is a nice pool area too – the pool can be heated for an additional charge paid locally.
Hvar Island
Hvar Island – The Island of Hvar is home to the beautiful & cosmopolitan, yet traditional Hvar Town with its classy harbour. Dotted along the coast from Hvar Town you will find pretty little villages with that “off the beaten track” feel, but only a short drive to Hvar Town itself! The island’s Stari Grad Plain is a Unesco World Heritage Site, where the cultivation pattern of olive trees as laid out by early Greek colonists has been perfectly preserved for some two and a half thousand years. Or try the other side of the island and the ambience of Jelsa or Vrboska – Hvar Island – Hvar Town, Jelsa, Vrboska…
