Villa Bond | 3-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Sutivan

Sutivan sits quietly on Brac’s western shore, and a luxury villa rental here means waking to Adriatic light without the crowds of Bol or Supetar. Villa Bond occupies this sweet spot—a three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence designed for six guests who want both solitude and easy access to the island’s best attractions. The villa sleeps 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, each bedroom featuring its own en-suite shower room.

Inside Villa Bond

The ground floor holds three bedrooms, each with direct bathroom access. The master suite features a double bed and en-suite shower. A second bedroom mirrors this layout—double bed, en-suite, separate from the first. The third bedroom offers flexibility: two singles that combine into a double bed, plus its own shower room. This configuration suits families with teenagers, three couples, or multigenerational groups who need privacy without isolation.

Climb to the first floor and the villa opens into itself. An open-plan living, kitchen, and dining space runs the length of the level. The kitchen comes fully equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, and coffee machine—the kind of setup where group meals don’t feel like a burden but rather the day’s highlight. A sofa bed in the living area accommodates two additional guests if needed, and a separate WC serves the upstairs social zones. Thoughtful touches include a washing machine and iron, reducing the mental load of longer stays.

Temperature control runs throughout via air conditioning in every bedroom and living area. Reliable Wi-Fi means those who need to stay loosely connected to work can do so without feeling tethered to screens. A collection of books sits on shelves—the kind of villa detail that suggests the owners understand that sometimes guests want to sit quietly.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The exterior is where Villa Bond becomes memorable. A private swimming pool measuring 32 square metres dominates the outdoor layout, surrounded by nine sun loungers and enough lawn space to accommodate group activities without feeling cramped. The water sits between the villa and the terraced levels beyond—blue-green, reflecting the sky, with no shared access or neighbors peering over walls.

A covered dining area adjoins the pool zone, anchored by a traditional stone barbecue. This is where evening meals happen: grilled fish from Sutivan’s morning market, local wines, conversation that drifts into darkness as the stars emerge above the Adriatic. The roof terrace sits higher still, offering panoramic views southward across the island’s interior toward the Dalmatian mainland beyond. Sunset here is a daily event—golden light sweeping across stone tiles, the smell of salt and pine rising from below.

Three dedicated parking spaces mean no hunting for spots or navigating narrow lanes on foot with shopping bags. Vehicle access is straightforward, but once parked, the villa feels remote from traffic and commotion.

Location: Sutivan and the Surrounding Area

Sutivan itself is a working town, not a resort. The harbourfront holds fishing boats, a handful of family-run restaurants, and a supermarket where locals shop. A steep walk of 15–20 minutes downhill reaches these amenities—manageable for adults, less ideal for young children or those with mobility constraints. By car, the centre is 2km away. This distance proves beneficial: Villa Bond captures Brac’s authentic character without the noise of a tourist thoroughfare.

Brac is the Dalmatian archipelago’s largest island, spanning roughly 40km north to south. Zlatni Rat beach, near Bol approximately 25km southeast, remains the island’s most photographed location—a crescent of pale pebbles and sand shifting with currents and seasons, backed by a forest of Aleppo pines. The water here runs shades of turquoise that seem airbrushed until you wade in and feel the actual temperature. June through September, crowds increase; May and October offer similar warmth with far fewer visitors.

Supetar, on the northern coast 18km from Sutivan, functions as the island’s main port and administrative hub. Its waterfront promenade hosts restaurants serving octopus salad and langoustine risotto sourced from local suppliers. The old town preserves stone architecture from the Venetian period—narrow lanes, a modest cathedral, stone steps worn smooth by centuries of footsteps.

Vidova Gora, the highest peak in the entire Adriatic at 778 metres, rises in Brac’s interior near Donji Humac village, roughly 12km inland. A drive or hike to the summit rewards you with views spanning from the Dalmatian coast to the Italian mainland on clear days. Several marked cycling and hiking routes crisscross the island, passing through olive groves and vineyards that produce distinctive local wine—Plavac Mali, a red varietal with peppery notes that pairs naturally with grilled meats and fish.

Fishing remains viable from Sutivan’s harbour and by boat charter—sea bass, bream, and smaller species willing to take a line on calm mornings. Several operators in nearby Bol and Supetar arrange half-day or full-day fishing excursions. Wineries around the island’s interior produce limited quantities of excellent wine; the Dalmacija Wine Route passes through vineyards open to visitors by appointment.

Split airport, the region’s major international hub, sits approximately 55km northwest by road—roughly 50 minutes’ drive. Ferry service connects Split to Supetar in 50 minutes, then a 20-minute drive or taxi reaches Villa Bond. This routing works well for guests arriving with minimal luggage; those with significant baggage prefer the direct drive.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Villa Bond functions best for groups seeking a private base rather than daily excursions. Families with teenagers—who can entertain themselves poolside and walk to restaurants independently—thrive here. Three couples escaping to share costs and companionship fit naturally into the three-bedroom layout. Multigenerational groups benefit from the ground-floor accessibility and diversity of sleeping arrangements.

The villa suits guests comfortable with a modest 15-minute walk to town amenities via a steep path. Those requiring flat, easy access to shops and restaurants should consider alternatives closer to Supetar or Bol town centres. Remote workers with consistent internet demands will appreciate the reliable Wi-Fi, though the location remains quieter than urban Croatia.

Couples seeking peaceful seclusion pair well with this property. The pool, roof terrace, and lawn offer intimate outdoor living without shared facilities. Conversely, larger groups of eight to ten can improvise with the sofa bed, though comfort diminishes beyond the core six-guest capacity.

Practical Information

Villa Bond accommodates 6 guests as standard across 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. An additional 2 guests can use the sofa bed in the first-floor living area, bringing theoretical maximum occupancy to 8, though 6 represents the design capacity for comfort and bathroom access.

Split airport, the nearest major international gateway, lies 55km away—approximately 50–60 minutes by hired car or private transfer. Smaller regional airports at Zadar (120km, 90 minutes) and Dubrovnik (180km, 2.5 hours) offer alternative arrival points. Ferry connections from Split to Supetar reduce driving time but add a 50-minute sea crossing.

The nearest supermarket is Mercator in Sutivan town centre, 2km away by car or 20 minutes downhill on foot. Fresh fish from the morning market near Sutivan’s harbour arrives daily in season. Bakeries and small shops operate conventional hours, typically 8am–1pm and 4pm–7pm in summer, with reduced hours in winter months.

The rental includes Wi-Fi, air conditioning, pool access, parking for three vehicles, and furnished outdoor spaces. Utilities—electricity, water, heating—form part of the standard rental. Linen and towels arrive fresh; a cleaner visits midway through longer stays. The pool remains open seasonally (May through October typically, depending on weather). Check-in is flexible based on prior coordination with the property manager; typical arrivals begin at 4pm, departures at 10am.

Each of the three bedrooms includes a private en-suite shower room.

What is the nearest airport to Villa Bond in Sutivan?

Split airport (SPU), located 55km northwest, serves as the primary gateway—approximately 50 minutes by car via the coastal highway. The airport receives regular flights from major European hubs year-round. Zadar airport (ZAD), 120km north, offers an alternative with longer travel time. Both airports have car hire desks; private transfer services are available through the villa’s management office.

What is the best time of year to rent Villa Bond?

May and early June offer warm sunshine (24–27°C) with manageable crowds. July and August peak at 28–30°C but attract maximum visitors to popular beaches. September provides lingering warmth and reduced tourist density. October remains pleasant (20–24°C) with minimal crowds. Winter months (November–March) see temperatures drop to 10–15°C and increased rainfall. The pool operates May through October. For solitude with good weather, May, September, or October represent ideal periods.

Is Villa Bond suitable for families with children?

The private pool makes Villa Bond appealing for families, though it requires supervision as would any backyard pool. The steep 15–20 minute walk to Sutivan town centre challenges young children or strollers; families with toddlers benefit from vehicle access for shopping trips. Nearby family-friendly beaches include quieter coves around Sutivan harbour (1km) and family sections at Zlatni Rat beach (25km). The villa’s layout—three private bedrooms on the ground floor—allows parents to position themselves near sleeping children. Books, a covered outdoor space, and a pool occupy children during downtime. The open-plan first floor enables supervision of children during meal preparation.

What is included in the rental price at Villa Bond?

The rental includes Wi-Fi access throughout the villa, air conditioning in all bedrooms and living areas, use of the private swimming pool, parking for three vehicles, all furnished outdoor spaces and terraces, dishwasher, washing machine, iron and board, hairdryers, and basic kitchen equipment (coffee machine, microwave, full oven). Fresh linens and towels arrive at check-in; mid-stay cleaning is available for bookings over one week. Utilities—electricity, water, and heating (seasonal)—form part of the rental. Pool maintenance and garden upkeep are included. Guests arrange and pay for any paid activities (boat hire, wine tours, restaurant reservations).

What restaurants and shops are near Villa Bond?

Sutivan’s harbour area, 2km away, hosts several family-run restaurants specializing in grilled fish, squid, and traditional Dalmatian seafood. Konoba Adriatic and similar establishments operate May through October with seasonal menus. A Mercator supermarket in the town centre stocks groceries, wine, and basics. Several bakeries open early for fresh bread. Bol, 25km southeast, offers more extensive dining and shopping including international restaurants and boutique shops. Supetar, 18km north, provides larger supermarkets (Kaufland), restaurants along the promenade, and a covered market. For upscale dining, both Bol and Supetar outpace Sutivan’s limited but genuine waterfront options.
