Villa Elaina | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Skrip Postira

Ten guests step onto the terrace of Villa Elaina in Skrip, Brac, and the conversation stops. The Adriatic stretches before them. Behind them, one hundred and twenty mature olive trees dot the rolling grounds of a private estate that houses the island’s largest botanical garden. This luxury villa rental in Skrip commands both the sea views and the cultivated beauty of the Croatian mainland—a rare combination that defines the entire experience of staying here.

Inside Villa Elaina

Villa Elaina sleeps 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, distributed across a thoughtfully planned ground-floor layout that eliminates stairs and maximises natural light. The master suite—Suite 1—features a super king bed, walk-in wardrobe, and an ensuite with both bath and shower, opening directly to a private terrace with direct garden access. Three additional suites (Suites 2, 3, and Bedroom 4) each offer king beds that convert to twin configurations, full ensuite showers, and terraces framing both ocean and garden views. Bedroom 5 mirrors this layout with flexible bedding, a walk-in wardrobe, and its own terrace. Every bedroom includes underfloor heating, air conditioning, and a television—practical comfort that feels invisible until winter months or rainy afternoons arrive.

The heart of the villa is the open-plan kitchen and living zone, where a fully equipped galley kitchen (complete with two dishwashers, premium appliances, and views that distract from cooking) flows seamlessly into a 104-square-metre living room. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open the living space to the pool courtyard, flooding the interior with light that shifts from golden morning rays to amber evening glow. A separate 45-square-metre dining room overlooks olive groves and cypress trees, with direct access to a romantic balcony. The media room provides a retreat for quiet evenings, while the home library stocked with games offers both entertainment and a quieter gathering space. A dedicated wine and olive oil cellar showcases Croatian, Slovenian, Italian, and French selections, available for guided tastings arranged by the villa’s concierge team.

Wellness facilities anchor the lower floor: a fully equipped gym suits early risers or those maintaining fitness routines, while a private sauna with separate shower provides daily respite. Two additional WCs ensure efficiency when all ten guests are in residence. Bose sound systems throughout the interior and exterior spaces deliver music to every zone, from the gym to the terraces.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The 16-metre by 5-metre heated infinity pool dominates the courtyard, flanked by eight sunbeds and parasols positioned to capture morning or afternoon sun depending on your preference. The pool temperature remains comfortable year-round due to heating systems integrated into the villa’s infrastructure. An adjacent hot tub accommodates six guests, positioned to capture sunset views across the bay. The shaded veranda wrapping the pool area contains sofas and lounging chairs arranged for conversation or solitude.

The summer kitchen with professional-grade grill anchors the outdoor dining area, which seats groups comfortably under shade structures. A pizza oven sits adjacent for evening entertainment. Beyond the immediate courtyard, a dedicated 40-square-metre yoga platform commands lavender-bordered views across the estate—the kind of space where morning stretches feel like meditation rather than exercise. The fragrance of lavender and wild herbs rises naturally from the garden during warm months.

Recreation extends beyond the pool and spa: a croquet lawn, mini-football field, and badminton court occupy the grounds, while a children’s water slide and removable pool safety fence make the aquatic areas family-friendly. Four bicycles, two stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), and an EV charging point for electric vehicles reflect modern convenience layered onto traditional Mediterranean living. The property includes dedicated parking and a lift connecting different elevation levels, essential features when navigating the sloped terrain of Brac’s landscape.

Location: Skrip and the Surrounding Area

Villa Elaina occupies a position on Brac’s northern coast, positioned 5 kilometres from the seaside village of Splitska and 12 kilometres from the bustling port town of Supetar, which serves as the island’s main gateway. The Olive Oil Museum sits in the ancient village of Škrip itself, a 10-minute stroll from the villa—a cultural landmark that documents the island’s centuries-old relationship with olive cultivation. The nearby town of Postira, approximately 8 kilometres away, offers white-sand beaches and a selection of restaurants serving fresh seafood and local produce.

Lovrečina Bay lies 3 kilometres away, accessible by car or on foot, and ranks among Brac’s most photographed stretches of coastline—a crescent of white sand and transparent water where the seafloor remains visible at surprising depths. The famous Zlatni Rat Beach in Bol, 40 kilometres south, attracts windsurfing enthusiasts and sun-seekers year-round. For cultural exploration, the town of Pučišća, 25 kilometres away, preserves Renaissance palaces and Baroque stone architecture carved from the island’s traditional white limestone—a living museum of Adriatic craftsmanship.

Active guests gravitate toward the Via Brattia, a circular walking trail connecting twelve historical sites and natural locations across the island, or the challenging ascent to Vidova Gora, Brac’s highest peak at 778 metres, which rewards climbers with panoramic views across the Adriatic and toward mainland Dalmatia. Twenty-five marked biking trails crisscross the island; the villa provides bicycles for moderate routes, with rental shops in Supetar offering mountain bikes and electric options. The Pakleni Islands—an archipelago of seventeen islets with lush pine forests and secluded coves—lie 20 kilometres offshore and are accessible via organised boat tours or private speedboat rentals arranged through the villa’s concierge.

Water taxis connect Brac to the larger island of Hvar (45 minutes) and the Dalmatian city of Split (60 minutes by ferry), making day excursions straightforward.
