Villa Supernova | 6-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Dugi Rat

Twelve guests, six en-suite bedrooms, and a heated pool facing the Adriatic Sea—Villa Supernova in Mali Rat delivers the kind of coastal gathering space where groups actually want to spend extended time together. Positioned on the seafront in this authentic Dalmatian fishing village between Split and Omis, this contemporary villa commands views across the water to Brac Island and opens directly onto a sun-drenched terrace where sunset aperitifs become the evening ritual.

Inside Villa Supernova

Villa Supernova sleeps 12 guests across 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, spread across three interconnected suites joined by glass-lined bridges. Each suite maintains its own identity while sharing the villa’s clean modern design and air-conditioned comfort.

Suite One, positioned on the first floor, anchors the villa with a fully equipped kitchen flowing into an open-plan dining and living area bathed in natural light. Three double bedrooms—each with a queen-size bed and private en-suite bathroom—occupy this level. Two of these bedrooms open directly onto the main terrace, while the third bedroom provides a quieter retreat with views across the neighbouring gardens toward the sea.

Suites Two and Three occupy the ground floor and both command immediate access to the terrace and pool area. Suite Two contains two double bedrooms with queen-size beds, en-suite bathrooms, and terraced access. Suite Three mirrors this layout with two further double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and direct terrace connection. A separate tea kitchen serves these ground-floor spaces, supporting casual breakfast rituals and afternoon refreshments without requiring trips to the main kitchen upstairs.

Five of the six bedrooms capture sea views—a significant advantage that means morning light and the sound of water becomes your alarm clock. All six bedrooms feature en-suite facilities, eliminating shared-bathroom logistics entirely. The villa includes a washing machine and iron-and-board setup tucked into practical laundry space, plus hairdryers in each bathroom and a dedicated coffee machine for those who refuse to compromise on caffeine quality.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Step outside and the villa’s real gathering space reveals itself. The sprawling terrace extends across the sea-facing elevation, furnished with sun loungers for twelve and a covered outdoor lounge area positioned to catch afternoon shade while maintaining sightlines to the water. An outdoor dining table accommodates full-group meals under open sky, while a built-in barbecue grill allows grilled fish and vegetables to become part of the daily routine rather than occasional treats.

The private heated pool sits at terrace level, maintaining comfortable temperatures even during shoulder seasons when Croatian evenings cool quickly. The rooftop terrace adds a secondary outdoor living zone with panoramic views stretching along the coast—this is where you’ll find yourself at 6pm with a drink in hand, watching light turn the sea copper and gold. Shaded seating areas throughout mean no guest is forced to choose between shade and social engagement; conversation flows equally well under parasols and under open sky.

Location: Mali Rat and the Surrounding Area

Mali Rat sits 8km south of Split and approximately 6km north of Omis town centre, positioning Villa Supernova within a village that has preserved its fishing heritage while quietly absorbing modern comfort. The waterfront promenade passes working fishing boats, family-run beach bars, and low-key tavernas where locals gather for evening wine and seafood—this is not a tourist strip but a functioning Dalmatian community.

The village specialises in white wine production alongside fishing; several family wineries welcome visitors for tastings of local Dalmatian varietals, particularly the crisp white wines from the Cetina Valley slopes visible from the terrace. Restaurant options within the village lean toward simple, excellent seafood—expect grilled sea bass, whole octopus, and fresh mussels prepared without pretension or excessive manipulation.

Omis itself lies just 6km south and offers broader infrastructure: supermarkets, pharmacy, shops, and restaurants spanning everything from casual grill-houses to more formal dining establishments. The town’s defining feature is adventure activity access—the Cetina River runs through a spectacular limestone canyon immediately behind Omis, making it Croatia’s premier white-water rafting destination. Sea kayaking launches from Omis beach directly into clear water, while the famous Omis zipline soars 500 metres across the canyon with 200-metre vertical drops. These activities suit groups with varying energy levels; some members can rafting while others explore the town’s waterfront museum dedicated to Omis’s pirate history.

The Makarska Riviera stretches 60km south from Omis toward Dubrovnik, with named beaches at Baska Voda (10km south), Brela (15km south), and Makarska town itself (25km south) offering sand, pebble, and clear-water swimming in graduated comfort. Makarska hosts Thursday evening open-air markets, a lively seafront promenade, and a broader nightlife scene if the group seeks evening entertainment beyond the villa’s terrace.

For cultural anchoring, the ruins of Petrinnan Castle overlook Mali Rat itself—a Venetian-era fortress accessible by short coastal walk. The Adriatic’s largest island, Brac, lies directly across the water; daily ferries from Omis (15-minute crossing) reach Brac’s marble quarries, Dragon’s Cave, and Zlatni Rat Beach, frequently voted among Europe’s finest.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families spanning three generations find Villa Supernova’s suite layout particularly valuable—grandparents occupy one suite with privacy, parents and older children spread across the others, yet shared outdoor space allows regular gathering without forced closeness. The heated pool suits families with younger children who struggle with sea temperature.

Professional groups, corporate retreats, and wedding parties benefit from the villa’s capacity to house 12 while maintaining clear separation between sleeping quarters and collective spaces. The rooftop and ground-floor terraces accommodate both formal dinners and casual lounging. Friends’ groups planning two-week reunions appreciate the accommodation spread and flexible suite arrangement—not everyone needs to share common kitchens.

Couples seeking a larger villa for hosting extended family gatherings, or those combining holiday with friend entertainment, find the villa’s scale manageable without requiring hiring a property manager. Active travelers planning Cetina Valley adventures or Adriatic island-hopping benefit from Omis’s direct access to water sports and transport links.
