Villa Tyrell | 7-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Podstrana

Fourteen guests arriving at Villa Tyrell in Podstrana step into a seven-bedroom seaside residence where the Adriatic Sea becomes your constant companion—visible from nearly every room, audible from the master bedroom at night, and framing every meal on the terrace. This luxury villa rental in Podstrana offers the kind of scale and refinement that transforms a Croatian holiday into something genuinely memorable for extended families and friend groups.

Inside Villa Tyrell

Villa Tyrell sleeps 14 guests across 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, each with en-suite facilities. The ground floor operates as the social nucleus: an open-plan kitchen, dining area, and living room flow together without walls, creating the kind of kitchen that makes even reluctant cooks volunteer for dinner duty. Fully equipped for serious meal preparation, this space opens directly onto the heated pool terrace through glass doors that dissolve the boundary between inside and out.

The wellness level on the ground floor deserves its own mention. Here, a dedicated gym contains treadmill, exercise bike, Pilates equipment, and weights. Adjacent to this space sits a sauna and hot tub—the kind of pairing that turns a rainy afternoon into something to anticipate rather than endure. A media room with PlayStation 5 keeps younger guests entertained, while a separate WC serves the ground floor efficiently.

The first floor hosts four bedrooms, each with individual character despite consistent luxury. Bedroom 1 features a super king-size bed, dual balconies with sea views, air-conditioning, television, and an en-suite shower room. Bedroom 2 offers flexibility: a super king-size bed that converts to two singles, matching amenities, sea-view balcony. Bedroom 3 mirrors this configuration with convertible bedding. Bedroom 4 returns to the fixed super king-size with two sea-view balconies, air-conditioning, television, and en-suite shower.

The second floor contains three additional bedrooms, each following the established standard of comfort. Bedroom 5 provides super king-size bedding, dual sea-view balconies, air-conditioning, television, and en-suite bathroom. Bedroom 6 offers super king-size accommodation with a sea-view terrace rather than balconies, plus air-conditioning, television, and en-suite shower. Bedroom 7 completes the upper level with super king-size configuration, two sea-view balconies, climate control, television, and en-suite facilities. A laundry room on this floor handles the logistics of a large party with two washing machines, a dryer, iron, and ironing board.

Throughout the villa, modern conveniences appear without fanfare: Wi-Fi reaches every corner, air-conditioning systems serve each bedroom independently, televisions offer entertainment options, and a wine cooler preserves local Dalmatian selections at proper temperature. Hairdryers, dishwasher, coffee machine, and microwave handle daily practicalities.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The terrace commands 54 square metres of heated swimming pool—generous enough for genuine laps, warm enough for March swimming, surrounded by fourteen sunbeds and parasols that suggest the villa’s intended scale. This isn’t a tacked-on amenity; it’s the property’s gravitational center. The pool area holds a shower for rinsing off salt water and sun cream, while the surrounding flagstone provides that particular Mediterranean warmth underfoot at sunset.

A summer kitchen anchors the alfresco dining zone, its covered area protecting long meals from unexpected afternoon sun. A barbecue grill sits ready for grilled fish and lamb, while a fire pit creates gathering space after dark—the kind of spot where conversations extend into the evening, where the sea breeze carries salt and pine, where guests actually want to stay outside rather than retreat indoors.

Seating areas scattered across the terrace suggest different uses: quiet reading corners with partial shade, social hubs near the pool, intimate two-person spots overlooking the water. The property includes eight parking spaces and a single garage, accommodating the logistics of a large group. Table tennis equipment provides activity without requiring departure from the property.

Direct beach access means you needn’t navigate stairs or country lanes to reach the Adriatic—the shore sits essentially at your garden edge, a five-minute walk downslope to water and sand.

Location: Podstrana and the Surrounding Area

Podstrana occupies a fortunate position on the Dalmatian coast—close enough to Split’s urban energy to visit for dinner, remote enough to feel genuinely away. The village itself contains restaurants and cafes within 400 metres of Villa Tyrell, supermarkets within one kilometre, and a selection of pebble and sand beaches within walking distance. Explore our villas in Opcina Podstrana for alternative properties in this desirable area.

Split, 25 kilometres north, deserves a day trip minimum. Diocletian’s Palace—a Roman palace-fortress spanning roughly 27,000 square metres—occupies the city’s core, its basement levels containing museums and Roman archaeology, its upper levels containing restaurants, shops, and market stalls. The Riva waterfront stretches for several kilometres along the Adriatic, lined with restaurants and lined with the kind of light that justifies photography. For deeper destination knowledge, read our Split travel guide.

Trogir, 40 kilometres west, preserves a medieval walled town on an island connected to the mainland by bridges. Its main square contains the Cathedral of Saint Lawrence, a 13th-century structure with a bell tower offering views across the Adriatic. The town’s narrow streets contain galleries, antique shops, and restaurants serving local seafood.

Marjan Forest Park rises directly from Split’s western edge, offering hiking trails through pine and oak woodland with viewpoints overlooking the Dalmatian islands. The park contains approximately 3,500 acres of protected land with trails ranging from casual 30-minute walks to half-day expeditions.

The Makarska Riviera extends south from Podstrana, a 60-kilometre coastal stretch containing towns like Makarska (65 kilometres away) and Brela (50 kilometres), each with beaches, restaurants, and water sports. Wineries dot the foothills of the Dinaric Alps inland—Dalmatian Zinfandel and Plavac Mali thrive in this Mediterranean climate, and many estates welcome visitors for tastings. Browse our luxury villas in Croatia for options throughout this region.

Split Airport lies 25 kilometres north, approximately 25 minutes by car. Seasonal ferries from Split depart for islands including Brač, Hvar, and Vis—day trips that feel removed from the mainland despite journeys of under one hour.

Tennis courts appear 4 kilometres away at Split’s sporting facilities. Cycling routes trace the coastal road between Podstrana and Trogir, offering moderate terrain and constant sea views. Boat hire companies operate from Split’s waterfront, offering half-day and full-day excursions to nearby islands and coves. Our full collection in Croatia includes additional properties suited to different group sizes and preferences.

June through September bring reliable sunshine and warm seas (23-26°C), though August crowds and August heat both peak. May and October offer near-equivalent weather with substantially fewer tourists. Winter (November-March) brings Mediterranean rain and 10-12°C water temperatures but clear blue days between storm systems, and accommodation costs drop considerably.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families spanning three generations find Villa Tyrell’s scale invaluable—grandparents occupy quieter upper-floor bedrooms while parents and teenagers enjoy ground-floor entertainment options without constant intersection. The convertible beds in two first-floor bedrooms accommodate families preferring twin arrangements for children.

Friend groups numbering eight to fourteen find the split-level design eliminates the forced togetherness of smaller properties. Some guests gather around the pool while others retreat to the media room; dinner assembles everyone without requiring kitchen cooperation from non-cooks.

Couples seeking privacy within a larger gathering find the second-floor bedrooms sufficiently removed from social zones that they needn’t participate in every activity. The sauna and hot tub provide couple-friendly evening routines.

Business groups conducting creative retreats appreciate the combination of gym, meeting-suitable dining space, and sufficient quiet bedrooms for rest between working sessions.

Families with young children find the enclosed heated pool safer than open ocean, while older children appreciate PlayStation options and table tennis during rainy intervals.
