Villa Emilija

A luxurious two-bedroom estate for four, Villa Emilija is tucked away in one of the most fragrant villages of Croatia. A treasure trove of restaurants and seaside attractions, it’s set in charming Mlini, located 11km southeast of Dubrovnik.

An amble from a pristine local beach, this sleek, inviting villa is a cocoon of solitude and calm. Boasting contemporary designs and elegant rooms, it greets you with soothing, white-washed décor and a sprawling outdoor garden that remains one of its biggest draws. Bask outside on the private manicured sun deck, flanked by rolling hills and lush foliage. A glimmering plunge pool is all to yourself, along with a wealth of modern facilities that ensure a pleasant stay. Pamper yourself with a rejuvenating massage under teeming parasols. Dig into al-fresco meals out in the gazebo or sizzle up the BBQ on wintery evenings. Cosy sun loungers and basket swings make for a comfortable siesta by the pool, while the property oozes a relaxing ambience throughout the day.

Inside, all rooms are adorned with soothing, natural hues. Elegant fixtures and snug furnishings radiate a gratifying synergy of style and serenity.
The indoor-outdoor living area is beautifully-designed, opening onto the garden with direct views of the pool outside. Large glass sliders allow abundant daylight. Unwind on the puffy, metal-hued L-shaped sofa and catch up on your favourite TV shows.

You’ll find modern elements around the house, including an airy, open-plan kitchen equipped with a refrigerator, toaster, stove, coffee maker, microwave and wine cabinet. You can even hire a private chef to whip up aromatic Croatian delicacies. Watch the kids take a refreshing dip in the pool as you settle down for an intimate meal in the 6-seater indoor dining area.

Both bedrooms are spacious and minimalistic, with dewy, white walls and neat flooring. Each comfortably accommodates two guests, providing king-size beds with elegant en-suite bathrooms. Glass windows overlook the pool, promising a restful night’s sleep. An additional shared washroom with a sofa-sleeper is available in the living room.  

Brimming with a delightful mix of activities and scenic points, Villa Emilija’s location is ideal. Take a private speed boat and explore nearby islands. Go on marvellous walks and take in the majestic beauty of Mlini.
