Villa Majia | 4-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Poljica Brig Vrsi

Poljica Brig sits quietly 10 kilometres from Zadar’s glittering Adriatic waterfront, a village where time moves at a slower pace than the cosmopolitan city nearby. This is where Villa Majia stands—a four-bedroom luxury villa rental that accommodates 10 guests, offering the kind of private sanctuary where families and friend groups actually want to stay together, rather than scatter across separate apartments. The Dalmatian coast reveals itself gradually here, without the crowds.

Inside Villa Majia

Villa Majia sleeps 10 guests across 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, arranged across an intelligently designed floor plan that feels spacious rather than cramped. The master bedroom anchors the main villa with a walk-in closet and private ensuite bathroom—the kind of retreat where you might linger longer than planned. Three additional double bedrooms accommodate the rest of your party, each finished in soft whites and greys that amplify natural light throughout the day. The master bedroom catches the morning sun; the secondary bedrooms offer quieter corners for afternoon rest.

Three bathrooms distribute the morning routine chaos efficiently. Beyond the master ensuite, a family bathroom serves the secondary bedrooms, while an additional WC ensures guests never queue. The villa provides high chairs and travel cots on request, signalling genuine family-friendly infrastructure rather than afterthought amenities.

The open-plan living and dining area flows directly into the fully equipped kitchen—a space appointed with professional-grade appliances including a dishwasher, oven, microwave, and coffee machine. The kitchen isn’t hidden away; it’s positioned so that whoever cooks remains part of conversation and activity. Marble countertops, quality glassware, and substantial dinnerware come standard. A separate laundry room houses both washing machine and dryer, an often-overlooked luxury when managing ten guests’ linens.

The games room extends the living space with table football, mikado, and other diversions—genuinely useful during the occasional rainy afternoon or when younger guests need indoor activity. Throughout the villa, air conditioning maintains comfort during Zadar’s hot summers, while complimentary Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected without intrusion.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Step outside, and the villa’s true character emerges. The private pool dominates the grounds—a proper swimming facility, not a plunge pool. Sunbeds and parasols ring the water, while day beds positioned on the terrace face the southern exposure. This is where morning coffee tastes different, where afternoon shadows lengthen across limestone paving.

The pool house functions as a secondary hub: sauna for post-swim relaxation, a fully equipped fitness room for those who refuse to abandon training routines, jacuzzi for evening wind-down, an extra shower and WC to prevent morning bathroom standoffs. The architecture here matters—this isn’t an afterthought structure but an integrated leisure facility.

The tennis court occupies one quadrant of the grounds, alongside a basketball hoop for shooting practice or casual games. A children’s play area separates younger guests from adult activities, while the large barbecue grill sits positioned for both cooking and socialising. Two garages provide secure parking for multiple vehicles.

Location: Poljica Brig and the Surrounding Area

Poljica Brig itself maintains a village character, home to Ranc Dar Mar—a working donkey ranch where guests can observe traditional animal husbandry. A local grocery shop and restaurant operate within the village, sufficient for basics without requiring travel. The nearest beach sits 5 kilometres away, a manageable drive or scooter ride to coastal swimming.

Zadar, 10 kilometres north, transforms the equation entirely. This Dalmatian city carries genuine historical weight—Roman forums, Byzantine churches, Venetian fortifications—alongside contemporary culture. Alfred Hitchcock famously declared Zadar home to the world’s most beautiful sunsets, a claim you’ll understand when standing at the Brazil Bar overlooking the Monument to the Sun. This 22-metre illuminated disc absorbs daylight, then projects colour patterns across the evening sky. Adjacent sits the Sea Organ, an art installation where submerged pipes emit musical tones with tidal movement—both installations deliver unexpected delight across visitor ages.

Zadar’s restaurant scene favours seafood with competitive pricing compared to southern Croatian coast destinations. John Dory fillet, local truffles paired with gnocchi, seafood bruschetta dripping in olive oil, baked octopus with potatoes, cuttlefish stew, and spider crab with black tagliatelle represent the flavour vocabulary. Many establishments feature outdoor terraces with water views. Explore our luxury villas throughout Europe or browse our villas in Opcina Vrsi for alternative Croatian properties.

Saharun Beach, accessible via brief ferry from Zadar, offers Croatia’s rarest commodity—genuine sand rather than pebbles. White sand meeting turquoise shallows create a Caribbean aesthetic without the transatlantic flight. Outside July and August, crowds thin considerably, making shoulder seasons genuinely pleasant.

The Dalmatian interior holds lesser-known attractions: Vrana Lake for bird watching, olive groves and small-scale vineyards in the hinterland, cycling routes connecting villages, boat hire from Zadar harbour for island exploration. Zadar Airport sits approximately 12 kilometres away, typically a 20-25 minute drive depending on traffic and transfer route.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families with mixed ages find Villa Majia genuinely functional. The four separate bedrooms prevent sleeping-arrangement disputes, while the games room, pool, and outdoor activities keep children engaged without constant parental mediation. The sauna and fitness room appeal to adults who prioritise wellness during holiday time.

Friendship groups spanning 8-10 people benefit from the villa’s communal spaces—the shared kitchen encourages collaborative cooking, the dining area accommodates everyone simultaneously, the pool accommodates group swimming without queueing. The tennis court and games room facilitate group activities beyond beach days.

Multigenerational parties appreciate the separate pool house with sauna and jacuzzi, allowing evening relaxation while younger family members remain in the main villa. The high chairs and cots accommodate babies and toddlers, signalling that logistical complexity won’t derail relaxation.

Couples seeking villa escape without isolation: the secondary bedrooms allow visiting friends or adult children to join without compromising privacy, as the master suite’s ensuite and walk-in closet create genuine separation.
