Villa Alivia | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Omis

Omiš sits where the Cetina River cuts through limestone cliffs to meet the Adriatic, and from the hillside village of Borak—just 3km inland—Villa Alivia commands a vantage point that captures this geographical drama entirely. Ten guests arriving here discover not just a contemporary five-bedroom residence, but a command centre for exploring one of Croatia’s most strategically positioned coastal towns, all while maintaining complete privacy on a heated pool terrace that overlooks the water 365 days a year.

Inside Villa Alivia

Villa Alivia sleeps 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, arranged across three distinct levels that allow families and friend groups to maintain both togetherness and separation.

The ground floor operates as the villa’s social engine. An open-plan layout connects a kitchen—fitted with premium appliances including DeLonghi coffee equipment and an American-style refrigerator—directly to a dining zone that seats ten comfortably. The living area features velvet seating, a large television, and a PlayStation 5 for rainy-day entertainment. One double bedroom with king-size bed occupies this level too, complete with an ensuite shower room and direct pool access through glass doors. A guest WC serves additional convenience, while the laundry room (equipped with washing machine and dryer) sits discreetly nearby.

Climbing to the first floor reveals three further double bedrooms, each furnished with a king-size bed and a private ensuite bathroom. All three rooms open onto expansive shared terraces—the kind of outdoor threshold where morning coffee becomes a two-hour ritual and evening aperitivos stretch into starlight.

The second floor houses the master suite, a sanctuary unto itself. A king-size bed, ensuite bathroom, and a private balcony create an owner’s retreat with unobstructed views toward the Adriatic and the Omis Riviera peaks. The morning light here is the kind that makes waking early feel intentional rather than forced.

Throughout Villa Alivia, every bedroom includes stylish ensuite facilities, quality linens, hair dryers, and iron-and-board provision. Air conditioning maintains year-round comfort. Wi-Fi reaches all rooms. A safe secures valuables. Families travelling with infants benefit from provided high chairs and baby cots.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The exterior transforms this villa from accommodation into lifestyle. A heated swimming pool measuring 9 metres by 4 metres anchors the sun deck—glass safety panels frame it securely for children while maintaining sightlines to the coast. Ten sunloungers surround the pool deck, each angled to catch maximum Mediterranean heat. An outdoor shower allows rinsing without tracking chlorine indoors.

Beyond the water, a dedicated summer kitchen and built-in barbecue create the infrastructure for al fresco cooking and entertaining. A covered dining terrace provides shade during peak-heat hours, while an uncovered dining table sits on the main terrace. Younger guests access a play area with swings and a slide. Table tennis equipment suggests competitive evenings as the sun descends. Every outdoor corner receives thought toward both beauty and utility.

Location: Omiš and the Surrounding Area

Omiš itself—population roughly 4,000—commands one of the Dalmatian coast’s most dramatic positions. The town centre sits 3km downhill from Villa Alivia, its medieval streets framed by the Cetina River gorge and fortress ruins that date to the Venetian period. The old town retains genuine character: narrow cobbled lanes, a working harbour, local markets selling Dalmatian produce, and restaurants serving fresh fish and regional wines without the gentrification seen in nearby Split.

The Cetina River defines the region’s adventure credentials. Rafting trips (45 minutes from the villa) navigate the canyon between Omis and the inland village of Zadvarje, passing through turquoise pools and rock formations. Canyoning operators run half-day excursions down waterfalls; kayaking companies explore calmer stretches; zip-line operators launch from forest canopies above the canyon itself.

Island access lies within boat-tour distance. The island of Brač, 12km offshore, hosts Zlatni Rat Beach—a natural phenomenon where a pebble spit shifts direction with tidal and wind conditions. Brač’s interior quarries have supplied white limestone to destinations globally; the island’s winery landscape (Stina Winery near Bol is particularly respected) produces dry whites and the regional dessert wine Prošek. Hvar, 35km northeast by boat, functions as the Adriatic’s glamour island, with lavender fields visible from offshore and nightlife concentrated around Hvar Town. Vis, further out, retains a quieter, more bohemian character.

For authentic local food, restaurants within Omiš town centre serve daily catches and traditional Dalmatian specialities (pašticada—beef braised in wine—appears on most menus). Supermarkets and fresh-produce markets operate daily in the town centre, 3km from the villa. Split, Croatia’s second city, lies 40km northwest and functions as a cultural and logistical hub if required—the UNESCO-listed Diocletian’s Palace anchors the waterfront.

Seasonal rhythms matter here significantly. June through September brings reliable sunshine, calm seas, and warm water temperatures suitable for swimming. July and August peak with tourist numbers and the Omis Summer Festival (internationally known folk and pop programming). May and September offer warmth without crowds, ideal for families prioritising beaches and activities over nightlife. Winter (November–February) sees occasional rain and cooler air, though days remain mild by northern European standards.
