Villa Renata | 4-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Promajna

Eight guests, four bedrooms, one heated swimming pool that overlooks the Adriatic Sea – Villa Renata sits in Promajna on Croatia’s Makarska Riviera, a 15-minute drive from the charming coastal town of Baška Voda and roughly 400 metres from the pebble beaches that define this stretch of the Dalmatian coastline. This is the kind of location where you wake to mountain views and fall asleep to the sound of waves.

Inside Villa Renata

Villa Renata sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, distributed across three floors of thoughtfully designed living space. Each bedroom features a king-size bed and private en-suite shower room, plus a furnished balcony with seating – a detail that matters when you want morning coffee with a view or an evening drink without leaving your room.

The ground floor holds one bedroom with its own bathroom, alongside a dedicated fitness room and sauna where you can work through the day’s hiking or simply decompress after exploring the nearby peaks of Mount Biokovo. The first floor opens into the main living areas: a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, and coffee machine sits adjacent to a dining table seating eight, while the living room features a substantial corner sofa, armchair, and flat-screen television with a glass wall that frames the pool and garden beyond. A ground-floor bathroom serves these shared spaces.

Two additional bedrooms occupy the second floor, each with its own bathroom, balcony, and king-size bed. The third floor hosts the final bedroom – again with en-suite, balcony, and king-size bed – plus a dedicated terrace that holds the property’s hot tub, positioned to catch the sunset over the water. Throughout Villa Renata, air conditioning maintains comfort during warm months, while Wi-Fi keeps you connected if you choose to work remotely from your terrace.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The heated swimming pool dominates the outdoor experience at Villa Renata. Spanning 20 square metres with a waterfall feature, it’s surrounded by sunloungers and parasols positioned to capture morning or afternoon sun depending on your preference. The pool temperature is maintained year-round, extending the swimming season well into autumn and early spring.

A dedicated dining area near the pool means lunch and dinner happen steps from the water. The barbecue setup allows you to cook evening meals with sea breezes carrying the scent of grilled fish and vegetables across the terraces. An outdoor shower lets you rinse off salt water without tracking it indoors. Multiple furnished terraces across all three floors mean there’s always a shaded spot during midday heat or a sunny corner for afternoon reading.

Parking is available on-site, and the property includes laundry facilities – practical details that matter when eight guests need to manage luggage and clothing across a week-long stay.

Location: Promajna and the Surrounding Area

Promajna sits on the Makarska Riviera, a 40-kilometre stretch of Croatian coastline renowned for its combination of sandy and pebble beaches backed by limestone mountains. Villa Renata places you within easy reach of several distinct destinations, each offering different experiences depending on your mood.

The beaches themselves define much of the appeal. Promanja Beach, directly below Villa Renata at 400 metres’ walk, offers pebble shores shaded by Aleppo pine trees – the kind of setting where you can read for three hours without moving. Punta Rata Beach at nearby Brela, roughly 8 kilometres away, consistently ranks among Europe’s finest – a crescent of smooth pebbles backed by dense forest, with the iconic Brela Stone (a small rocky islet) serving as the region’s most photographed landmark. Both beaches have seasonal café service and lounger rentals.

Baška Voda village, 2 kilometres south of Villa Renata, functions as the immediate hub for dining and shopping. You’ll find supermarkets for self-catering supplies, waterfront restaurants specialising in grilled fish and local Dalmatian wines, and casual beach bars that host live DJ sets during summer months. The walk takes roughly 25 minutes on coastal paths with sea views throughout.

Makarska town, 12 kilometres to the north, represents the region’s cultural and nightlife centre. Kačić Square – the atmospheric Old Town plaza named after 18th-century poet Andrija Kačić Miošić – hosts summer events, festivals, and a permanent statue of the poet himself. Mount Biokovo rises dramatically behind the town, creating one of Europe’s most striking mountain-to-sea panoramas. The Biokovo Skywalk, a glass-bottomed viewing platform positioned at 1,200 metres elevation, delivers 360-degree sea views that justify the 30-minute drive uphill. The Kotišina Botanical Gardens near Makarska provide a quieter afternoon option, while the Vepric shrine at the mountain’s foot combines religious significance with hiking appeal.

For nightlife, Makarska’s Deep Club occupies an actual cave – a split-level venue where you can dance, then step into a separate area overlooking the sunset and sea. The Makarska Jazz Festival (typically July) and the eclectic Makarska Cultural Summer (June-September) bring live music and theatre to town squares and outdoor venues. Several other waterfront bars capitalise on their locations with extended terraces and sea views that rival the drinks themselves.

Water activities centre on boat hire for day trips to nearby islands (Brač and Hvar islands lie 30-45 minutes by speedboat), water-skiing lessons on Baška Voda’s beaches, and kayaking along the rocky coves between Brela and Promajna. Mountain biking routes trace the foothills of Biokovo, with difficulty ranging from gentle coastal paths to serious climbs with Alpine views. Hiking trails connect the coastal towns and climb toward high mountain passes – the terrain rewards early starts and proper footwear.
