Villa Friesian | 8-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Mimice

Twenty guests arrive at Villa Friesian in Mimice and immediately understand why this clifftop property commands views across the entire Adriatic coastline. The village of Mimice, nestled between Split and the island of Brač, offers the rare combination of absolute privacy and proximity to Dalmatia’s most celebrated attractions. This 8-bedroom luxury villa rental in Mimice Croatia accommodates up to 20 people across 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, making it one of the region’s most substantial privately-owned estates.

Inside Villa Friesian

Villa Friesian sleeps 20 guests across 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, distributed across multiple floors to create distinct zones for families, couples, and group members seeking privacy. The lower level contains the public heart of the villa: an expansive open-plan kitchen and dining area where natural light floods through floor-to-ceiling windows, a spacious living room anchored by a working fireplace, plus a dedicated sauna suite with indoor heated pool (13 square metres), hot tub, and adjoining gym equipped with treadmills, rowing machines, and free weights.

The kitchen itself merits special attention. Fully equipped with professional-grade appliances, dual wine refrigeration units, dishwasher, coffee machine, microwave, and blender, this is the kind of cooking space that transforms holiday meals from obligation into celebration. The dining table seats 12 comfortably; additional guests can be accommodated at the covered outdoor dining area on the terrace.

Bedrooms 1 through 6 are configured as king-size suites, each featuring an en-suite bathroom with soaking tub and walk-in shower, air conditioning, and private balconies. Four of these king suites (Bedrooms 1-4) include convertible sofa beds capable of sleeping two additional guests, plus individual hot tubs on each balcony overlooking the Adriatic. Bedrooms 7 and 8 each contain two single beds, en-suite bathrooms with tub and shower, air conditioning, and sea-facing balconies.

Practical amenities throughout the villa include Wi-Fi internet, television, washing machine, dryer, iron and board, safe deposit boxes, and four travel cots—thoughtful details that distinguish a true family villa from a luxury showpiece. The décor in each bedroom draws inspiration from the coastal environment, creating environments designed for genuine rest rather than mere accommodation.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The outdoor realm extends across terraced levels, beginning with the signature heated swimming pool measuring 83 square metres—a substantial body of water that appears to spill directly toward the sea horizon. Sun loungers, day beds, and parasols surround the water’s edge; this is where most of the day naturally unfolds. The pool’s infinity-edge design creates the optical illusion of water merging with the Adriatic itself.

A covered glass cabana on the terrace houses a summer kitchen and dining pavilion, functioning as an al fresco extension of indoor entertaining space. The sauna suite also opens onto the terrace, creating a logical flow between wellness facilities and leisure areas. Barbecue equipment allows for grilled dinners while watching the sun descend toward the Croatian coast.

The entire property benefits from its clifftop location: cooling sea breezes, unobstructed southern exposure, and the constant visual presence of open water. Evening light here transforms the landscape into shades of amber and rose; morning light arrives remarkably early due to the eastern-facing aspect across the bay toward Brač.

Location: Mimice and the Surrounding Area

Mimice itself is a quiet seaside village offering authentic Dalmatian coastal living without the commercialisation of larger resorts. The village centre contains a supermarket (approximately 2km away), several cafés and family-run restaurants serving fresh seafood and local specialities, and direct access to multiple sheltered coves with fine white sand beaches ideal for swimming.

The region rewards exploration by car. Baska Voda, 15 kilometres south, is renowned for its extensive beaches and water sports infrastructure—paddle boarding, snorkelling, and scuba diving operators are well-established there. The Malacological Museum in Baska Voda houses an impressive collection of Adriatic shells and specimens from worldwide collections, a surprisingly engaging afternoon diversion.

Split, the capital of Dalmatia, lies 45 kilometres northwest (approximately 50 minutes by car). Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site dating to AD 305, dominates the city centre—a vast Roman palace that functioned as a fortress, town, and residence across nearly 1,700 years. The Cathedral of Saint Dominus, originally Diocletian’s mausoleum, rises at the palace’s heart; climbing the bell tower rewards visitors with panoramic views across Split’s waterfront (the Riva) and the islands beyond. The palace’s marble walkways, underground cellars, and Temple of Jupiter remain remarkably preserved.

The Fortress of Klis sits 25 kilometres north, perched on a dramatic hilltop with commanding views across the Dalmatian hinterland toward the Dinaric Alps. Salona Ruins, 35 kilometres away, preserve the ancient Roman city that preceded Split. Trogir, designated a UNESCO site and often called the “museum town,” sits 40 kilometres north and showcases exceptional medieval architecture, cathedral complexes, and Venetian fortifications.

The area offers scenic hiking trails passing through outdoor sculpture parks with sightlines toward Brač Island. Boat hire from Mimice provides access to hidden anchorages and island villages unreachable by road. May through September represents the optimal visitor season—warm, dry weather with water temperatures suitable for swimming from mid-June onward. September and early October combine summer warmth with noticeably fewer tourists than July-August.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Villa Friesian accommodates multiple distinct travel scenarios effectively. Extended families with teenagers and young adults benefit from the bedroom variety (combinations of king suites and twin options) and the integrated wellness facilities (sauna, gym, indoor pool). Groups of friends celebrating milestones find the entertainment-focused layout—sprawling terraces, outdoor kitchen, heated swimming pool—naturally conducive to social gathering. Multi-generational parties appreciate the practical amenities: four travel cots for infants, highchair provision, calm interior spaces for guests preferring quieter pursuits alongside active poolside zones.

Couples seeking a villa primarily for themselves should consider that 20-person capacity means shared facilities during peak seasons, though the clifftop setting and private beach access create genuine seclusion. Business groups can utilise the workstation in the living area; reliable Wi-Fi supports professional needs without sacrificing leisure atmosphere.
