Villa Karla Croatia
Holiday Home Rental Description
Just 400m from Promajna’s pebble beach, 4-bedroom Villa Karla’s modern good looks contrast strikingly with its rugged mountain backdrop. Ideally located for Makarska and Baška Voda, this superb villa delivers multiple tempting terraces and excellent wellness facilities.
The heated private pool is lined with sun loungers, and you have a dining area a few steps away. You have an outdoor shower and a gas barbecue, while inside you’ll find an impressive sauna cabin and a suite of fitness equipment. And after a workout, you might fancy popping up to the top floor for a soak in the hot tub, with its magnificent sea views waiting for you.
With terraces on every floor offering seating and lounging space, the house itself is impressive. A spacious open-plan area takes care of your living room, dining room and kitchen – it’s equipped with large, plush sofas, a flatscreen TV and air conditioning. The kitchen situates a great coffee machine, dishwasher, microwave and more conveniently close to your dining area.
The four bedrooms are spread across three floors, starting with one on the ground floor. There are two more on the second floor and one on the third. All have a king-size bed, en suite with shower, LCD TV and access to a balcony terrace. With parking and Wi-Fi as well, Villa Karla really has it all.
The lively riviera resort of Makarska is only 10km away, sitting beneath mighty Mount Biokovo, which provides lots of opportunities for hiking. It’s also a fine place for dining and nightlife, while the waterfront and beaches are a big draw too. Closer still, Baška Voda has a few beaches of its own, a pretty promenade and several beautiful churches.
Promanja sits between the two and a scenic coastal road makes it easy to reach Baška Voda and Makarska. Its own beach is within a short distance of restaurants and bars, and the village offers pleasant walks.On Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, Baška Voda lies just 15 minutes’ drive from the popular resort town of Makarska. Sitting between the towering Mount Biokovo and the Adriatic Sea, a place which was once a busy fishing port is now welcoming visitors to its beaches, spas and restaurants.
It’s a great place to get active, with mountain biking, water-skiing, paragliding, beach volleyball and lots more on offer. Lovely pebble beaches in the shade of pine trees are perfect for hanging out or relaxing walks, and you’ll find plenty of beach bars and cafés along the way. All sorts of Mediterranean specialities can be found on local menus, such as boiled frog fish, and tempting Baška Voda rafioli, filled with almonds, nuts and maraschino cherries.
Just down the coast, Makarska is a must-visit. Its wonderful sandy beach extends to almost 2km, while a Franciscan monastery and city museum add a little history and local culture. The city’s main square, Kačić, is the centrepiece, and impresses with the wonderful mountain views you can enjoy from its restaurant terraces.
You should have no problem finding places to go after dinner – Makarska offers all kinds of nightlife. In summer, evenings are enlivened by weekly Fishermen’s Nights, with fresh fish, local wine and plenty of fun and music. The town enjoys more than 2750 hours of sun each year, staying mild even in winter, so whenever you visit you should find the weather agreeable.
Walks in the mountains are a great way to spend your days, and you’ll find a few interesting sights along the way, including the holy shrine of Vepric at the foot of the hills, and the botanical garden, Kotišina. A recent addition is the impressive Biokovo Skywalk, a glass-bottomed viewing platform at more than 1200 metres above sea level. This incredible feat of engineering offers incredible panoramic sea views and is well worth seeking out.
Not far from Baška Voda, the glorious Punta Rata beach at Brela is another breath-taking sight, and considered the jewel of the Makarska Riviera. Nearby is the Brela Stone, a small rock island which is a favourite subject for photographers.
