If you have ever dreamed of staying on a Robinson Crusoe style island then Villa Tonka is just for you. Located on a tranquil olive oil estate with a private beach, this is a remarkable place for the type of holiday where you can really get away from it all.
The island in the Zadar archipelago is car-free and only accessed by private boat. It's uninhabited other than a scattering of holiday homes on the other side and a restaurant. As you step off the boat you will only hear the sounds of nature as you walk up to your homely villa. In the distance you’ll be able to see the well-known Kornati National Park as yachts sail by exploring. That’s for another day though, for now it’s just you, the olive trees and crystal clear waters that surround you.
There are five cosy bedrooms in total, split over two parts of the house united by one of the many wonderful terraces. In each part you will find a bright and well equipped open-plan kitchen-diner with a comfortable living area plus three bedrooms in one of the units and two in the other.
The outdoor space makes this place really remarkable where you can watch the sun set over the sparkling sea from the wonderful swimming pool, relax on the sun-loungers reading a book amongst the olive groves or dine under the clear night sky by the stone barbecue on one of the al-fresco terraces.
Despite the remote location, you can easily sail back to the mainland where you will find restaurants, shops and great variety of activities or pick up a car and head to one of Croatia’s nearby cities such as beautiful Zadar or Šibenik. You’ll also find shops, restaurants and glorious sandy beaches on the nearby islands of Vrgada and Pašman.
That said, you may not wish to venture far with the solitude and peace of Villa Tonka and the idyllic islands that surround you.
Please note - If you are a group of six or less the larger villa will automatically be selected at the time of booking. Please note this means you will only have access to the 3 bedroom villa, however the other villa will not be rented out, ensuring complete privacy. If you wish to rent both units the price will be higher. The only exception is during Pruning Season (March & April) and Picking Season (October & November) when the owners stay in the Two Bed Unit.
- Boat transfers are included but it's strongly advisable to rent a boat during your stay so you can explore the nearby islands and pick up groceries!
- If you wish to hire a car to explore the mainland, you can leave it in Biograd in a secured car park
- If 6 or less people are selected at the time of booking, your party will only have access to the 3 bed villa.
- If your party is larger than 6 you will have access to both units however, the price is higher. Please note during pruning and picking season the two bedroom villa cannot be rented as the owners stay there.
- Take care on the stairs, especially with young children as there is only one banister.
