Location
About the surrounding area of Villa BoYour blissful retreat is located in the sleepy fishing town of Ika, close to the Ucka mountain, in the Opatija Riviera of Croatia. Many come to Croatia for the culture, history and splendid natural beauty, and you certainly won’t be disappointed. Croatia certainly feels like a fairy-tale world from long ago, perfectly preserved in time, and here you’ll find all the fantasy you desire.
Villa Bo gives you easy access to the nearby sights. You’re a six-minute walk away (if you take the stairs) to the centre of Ika itself, and you can also walk to the nearby beaches or famed seaside promenade without the need of a car. Want to get up for an early dip in the sea or wander around Ika as it wakes up for the day ahead? It’s all on your doorstep. The bold blue of the flanking sea is always tantalizing, and you can’t come to Croatia without submerging yourself in the Adriatic. Ika Beach is a pebbled beach with stunning clear waters, ideal for tranquil swimming experiences and a perfect opportunity to explore the thriving underwater world beneath you.
Ika is packed full of charm with beautiful views of the boats moored in the harbour and strikingly quaint Croatian homes. It’s absolutely ideal if you’re seeking fresh air, fresh food and some rest and respite from the fast pace of the world. There’s a great deal to do here beyond relax – you can partake in a range of sports and recreation including swimming, fishing, diving, hiking and cycling. If you love the outdoors, this is a paradise.
Whether you explore the botanical gardens, libraries, enjoy some adrenaline-boosting water sports, sail, visit a casino, horse ride or rent a bicycle to cycle to neighbouring towns and points of interest, you’ll find plenty of enjoyment.
Traditionally, Ika was known both for fishing and shipbuilding. It’s also the university centre of the Opatija Riviera, and is home to the Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management, where many students from Croatia and beyond study. This gives the area a certain flair and buzz. Croatia adores its festivals, and here you may wish to join the Fish Festival, and truly experience what it means to live in a coastal town. You’ll be able to assist locals as they repair their fishing nets and place fish traps, observe the fishing boats as they depart and enjoy a local (freshly caught) fish dish.
There are a huge number of taverns and restaurants where you can enjoy a delicious local meal, and plenty of walks in nature and old oak forests where you can dive more deeply into the astounding beauty of the area.
The Opatija Riviera is a wonderful place for those who want tranquillity and enjoy absorbing history, culture and striking architecture. For starters, head to the 14th century Benedictine abbey, Opatija Sv. Jakova, then seek put the famous Maiden with the Seagull statue, a symbol of the local area. Finally, take a stroll through Angiolina, the town park, where you can observe plant species from all over the world.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThis is the perfect place for children. Hospitable, warm and safe, children can rest, relax and play. Your villa is suited to meet your needs as a family with its pools, indoor and outdoor dining areas, satellite and cable, and living area. There’s plenty of indoor and outdoor space for you to enjoy yourself as a unit. Children can enjoy the pool while adults dine and drink cocktails on the surrounding sunbeds and take in the spellbinding views.
The village of Ika is small and quaint and very kind to families. The sea is nearby and ideal for family swims and cooling dips on a hot day. There are a great number of taverns and restaurants, many serving local Croatian fare (fish is naturally the speciality of the area), but there is plenty for kids who require a taste of home. You can also request a chef to prepare a meal for you at your villa so that you can enjoy quality time together and avoid the cooking.
Regardless of your preference for activities, there’s a great deal to do. Beyond swimming and diving, you might rent a bicycle and explore the surrounding areas, each as peaceful and lovely but unique in their own way. There are a great number of walks and hikes through local parks and ancient forests, something to truly capture the imagination. For those who crave a taste of adventure, water sports are also available and something children can spend endless time enjoying. Take a family walk along the Lungo Mare promenade for a slice of local living or to the Angiolina Park with its many flowers and plants from all over the world.
Ucka Nature Park is well worth a visit and its right on your doorstep. You can also follow along the land art trail on Ucka which is an imaginative way to explore the area with your little ones. Ranch Bubac provides a lovely meadow for young kids to learn to ride horses, all a breath away from the Ucka mountain. Take the kids to Trsat Castle and enjoy the Veprinak hiking trail, renowned for its attractive views of the Kvarner Bay and dramatic sighting of Mount Ucka.
