Villa Minea Croatia

In an elevated location above the popular coastal town of Makarska, charming Villa Minea is the ideal Dalmatian Coast hideaway. With three bedrooms, and accommodating up to eight guests in total, this villa enjoys beautiful sea views from its terrace and comes with a pleasingly spacious private pool.
Rugged Mount Biokovo gives Villa Minea a breath-taking backdrop. The split-level outdoor spaces offer poolside loungers and parasols, and a lovely dining area with built-in barbecue and summer kitchen. There is plenty of seating dotted around, including beside the 8m x 4m pool, and there are covered terrace areas for a little shade too. You will also be close to walking paths around the area. If you fancy a stroll to the beach, it’s around 3km from the villa.
The house has two levels, each with a modern kitchen and dining space, with light streaming in through the large windows. You will have everything you need, including a fridge freezer, dishwasher, coffee machine and ceramic hob. A living room on the upper floor offers a sofa-bed and satellite TV, with direct access to the terrace.
You will find a separate double bedroom on the upper floor, and two more double bedrooms on the lower floor. One of these has its own in-room shower, and all of them are equipped with TV and air conditioning. Additional bathrooms with showers are found on both floors. You also have free Wi-Fi throughout the property.
Villa Minea is situated in the hamlet of Kotišina, just 2.5 km from the centre of Makarska. The resort’s sandy beach extends to almost 2km, while the main square, Kačić, is a Makarska focal point. Youll be able to enjoy wonderful mountain views from its restaurant terraces, as well as reliably warm weather.
The Biokovo National Park is a fine place to go exploring the region, and home to the incredible Biokovo Skywalk – a glass viewing platform which extends out into nowhere, offering the most stunning views for miles. While Makarska is great for nightlife and entertainment, there are lots of quiet spots to get out and enjoy nature – check out Sveti Petar Forest Park, just a short distance from the Old Town.With a beach that’s nearly 2km long, Makarska is a popular resort with visitors. Directly across the water from Sumartin on Brač, it enjoys an easy connection to that island, and lies not so far from the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina – it’s no wonder that Makarska is the coastal resort of choice for many of its residents.
The scenic waterfront is just steps away from Makarska’s Old Town, the centrepiece of which is busy Kačić square. Steps lead up to St Mark’s Cathedral, with the mighty Mount Biokovo rising in the background. The square has several restaurants with terraces, as well as a small marketplace, and the streets which lead off it are pleasing to wander, soon leading you back to the promenade. Here you’ll find even more places to eat down one side, and boat cruises to the islands on the other.
In summer, the warm Makarska evenings are enlivened by weekly Fishermen’s Nights, with fresh fish, local wine and music. Outside of the summer months, the climate remains fairly mild – the town clocks up some 2750 hours of sun each year.
Head into the mountains and you may come across sights like the holy shrine of Vepric at the foot of the hills, and the botanical garden, Kotišina – a much wilder, more rugged place than it sounds. One attraction you won’t want to miss is the 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, about 20 minutes’ drive from the centre of town.
Pretty Baška Voda lies around 15 minutes’ drive from Makarska, a little further up the coast. What was once a busy fishing port is now attracts visitors to its beaches, spas and restaurants. Not far from here, the glorious Punta Rata beach at Brela is considered the jewel of the Makarska Riviera. Photographers should be on the lookout for the Brela Stone, a small rock island that sits in isolation just a little way out to sea.
In the opposite direction, the village of Tučepi is a pleasant alternative, with many more seafront restaurants, pebble beaches and a boat-filled harbour. It’s perfect territory for water sports or, just outside the town, you could try your hand at zip-lining. You will also find the main entrance to the Biokovo Nature Park, if you fancy driving all the way to its highest peak, Sveti Jure – over 1700m up.
