Villa Hayari | 4-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Slatine Split

Eight guests arrive in Slatine, a quiet village on the island of Ciovo, and discover Villa Hayari waiting 100 metres from the Adriatic Sea. This luxury villa rental in Slatine Croatia combines contemporary comfort with direct beach access, where the scent of pine forest mingles with salt air and morning light floods across terraces that overlook the water. The villa stands on a fully enclosed plot, screened by mature trees and landscaping that creates instant privacy from neighbouring properties.

Inside Villa Hayari

Villa Hayari sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, distributed across 230 square metres of thoughtfully designed living space. The ground floor centres on an open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area where the kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances including a dishwasher, microwave, and coffee machine—the kind of kitchen that makes even reluctant cooks volunteer for meal duty. Smart TVs and a PlayStation 4 are available throughout the villa for entertainment on quieter evenings.

Beyond the main living zone, a dedicated games room houses a pool table and darts board, while a separate gym provides resistance equipment and cardio facilities for guests who want to maintain their fitness routine. Two additional WCs on the ground floor serve guests using the games and fitness spaces. Large sliding doors open directly onto the terrace, creating seamless flow between interior and outdoor living.

Upstairs, all four bedrooms feature double beds and en-suite bathrooms—each room has its own dedicated bathroom, eliminating any negotiation at shower time. Every bedroom includes a private balcony; from the master suite, you can hear the distant sound of the sea through the pine trees. Bedroom 1, 2, 3, and 4 are identically appointed in terms of bed configuration and bathroom access, meaning families can assign rooms based on preference rather than hierarchy. The villa provides a cot and highchair for guests travelling with infants, plus DVD players and speakers for in-room entertainment.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The heated private swimming pool measures 31 square metres and operates from May through the end of September, maintaining comfortable temperatures for lap swimming and leisurely floating. Eight sunbeds line the pool surround, paired with parasols offering shade during the hottest afternoon hours. Beyond the pool area, shaded seating clusters scattered across the grounds provide cooler refuges for reading or conversation, while a dedicated shaded dining area allows al fresco meals protected from direct sun.

A summer kitchen equipped with a working barbecue opens onto the main terrace—the kind of outdoor cooking setup that transforms holiday meals into events. The southern-facing terrace catches afternoon light perfectly, making it ideal for pre-dinner drinks. A climbing frame occupies one section of the manicured lawn, providing active play space for children beyond the pool area. Parking for four vehicles sits directly accessible from the property, eliminating any hassle with street parking or off-site arrangements.

Six air-conditioning units distribute cooling throughout the villa, while five ceiling fans provide passive ventilation on milder evenings. Internet and Wi-Fi connectivity remain available throughout, allowing remote workers to maintain productivity without sacrificing their seaside location. A safe secures valuables, and a washing machine handles laundry needs for week-long stays.

Location: Slatine and the Surrounding Area

Slatine occupies the eastern edge of Ciovo island, positioned directly opposite the Croatian coast near Trogir. The village itself remains small and authentic, with several waterfront restaurants serving fresh seafood caught from boats moored just offshore. The nearest supermarket lies roughly 1km away in the direction of Trogir, accessible on foot or by car depending on shopping volume. Beach access from Villa Hayari is immediate—a 100-metre walk through pine forest leads to pebble shores sheltered by the same trees that shade the property.

Trogir, 3km by car or accessible via local boat service, is a UNESCO-protected medieval town built across islands connected by bridges. The old town centre contains Renaissance palaces, narrow winding streets, and a working shipyard visible from the waterfront promenade. The Cathedral of St. Lawrence dominates the town square, its 13th-century bell tower visible for kilometres across the water. Restaurants throughout Trogir range from casual konoba establishments serving local wine and grilled fish, to more formal dining venues overlooking the Adriatic.

Water activities dominate summer months: kayaking routes depart from Trogir’s waterfront, paddleboard rental companies operate from multiple beach locations, and regular boat tours visit nearby islands including Brac and Hvar. Brac lies 25km southwest across open water and is famous for its white stone quarries and the Zlatni Rat—a dramatic horn-shaped beach where the sand shifts with seasonal currents. Hvar, 30km further southwest, offers lavender fields, medieval fortifications, and nightlife concentrated in its main town. Snorkelling opportunities abound along the rocky coastline, with underwater visibility often exceeding 20 metres during summer months.

Krka National Park, 35km inland, features a series of cascading freshwater waterfalls and a river canyon lined with hiking trails. Several boats dock within the park boundaries, allowing visitors to swim in pools below the falls—a popular half-day excursion from Slatine. The park’s entrance near Skradin village lies approximately 40 minutes’ drive from the villa.

Split, 25km northwest, is Croatia’s second-largest city and home to Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO site built during the Roman emperor’s reign in the 3rd century. The palace’s white limestone walls and surviving towers remain remarkably intact, and within its boundaries, locals operate small shops, restaurants, and apartments that blur the line between archaeological site and living neighbourhood. Split’s Riva waterfront stretches 1.5km along the Adriatic, lined with cafes and performance spaces. The city’s fish market operates every morning at the harbour edge.

Split Airport lies 25km north of the city centre; transfers to Villa Hayari take approximately 50 minutes by car via the coastal highway.

Seasonal considerations: June through August see peak temperatures (28-32°C) and maximum tourist numbers, but also guarantee sunny weather and warm swimming conditions. May and September offer nearly identical weather with fewer crowds and lower accommodation prices. July witnesses the most boat traffic to nearby islands. Winter (November-March) brings occasional rain and cooler sea temperatures (12-14°C), making swimming uncomfortable for most visitors, though dramatic winter light and solitude appeal to some travellers.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended family groups planning a multi-week summer holiday benefit from the four separate bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms—parents needn’t negotiate bathroom schedules with teenagers. The pool and games room keep children occupied during afternoon heat, while the proximity to Trogir and Split satisfies adults seeking cultural exploration. Grandparents can supervise swimming from shaded seating while the climbing frame entertains younger grandchildren.

Professional couples travelling with friends find the villa’s separation of spaces valuable—the games room provides independent social space for guests, while the gym allows fitness routines without requiring a membership or trip to town. Four bedrooms mean two couples can holiday together without sharing sleeping quarters, eliminating awkwardness that sometimes arises in smaller villas.

Multi-generational groups benefit from the villa’s accessibility features: level terraces avoid negotiating stairs, four ground-floor WCs reduce distances for older guests, and the heated pool operates at comfortable temperatures without the shock of cold Mediterranean water. The proximity to supermarkets and restaurants means families needn’t commit to cooking every evening.

Remote workers can maintain productivity: reliable Wi-Fi covers the entire property, the villa includes multiple work-suitable tables and seating, and the 50-minute distance to Split airport makes week-long working stays practical between business travel.
