Overview
This irresistible 5-bedroom villa in Imotski puts you in just the right location for Croatia’s famed Blue and Red Lakes. As well as superb panoramic views and beautifully designed interiors, Villa Raelyn offers excellent facilities including an outdoor pool, hot tub and private tennis court.
Perfect for up to 10 guests, modern Villa Raelyn lies around a 35-minute drive from Baška Voda on the Dalmatian Coast. The large terrace offers incredible views of the surroundings, with sun loungers and a covered dining area right beside the impressive 74 sq m pool.
The outdoor facilities are exceptional at this villa, with a 6-hole golf course, tennis court and a children’s playground among them. A barbecue, seating area and the enticing hot tub add yet more reasons to enjoy Villa Raelyn’s grounds, and inside you have a sauna, fitness room and pool table too.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa RaelynPerfectly placed for the stunning Blue and Red Lakes, Imotski is a fine place to base your stay in Dalmatia. While both of these landmark sights are well worth seeing, you will only be able to swim in the Blue Lake. It’s just not possible in the Red Lake, due to the steep cliffs around it and its incredible depth.
Imotski town lies not far from the border with Bosnia & Herzegovina and is a pretty place to spend some time. You can enjoy its beautiful squares filled with café and restaurant terraces and may even get to experience some open-air concerts or festivals.
Head towards the coast and you can discover the lovely Baška Voda, Situated between Mount Biokovo and the Adriatic Sea, this town draws visitors with its wonderful beaches, spas and opportunities to try activities like mountain biking, water-skiing, paragliding and beach volleyball. Shaded pebble beaches and plenty of beach bars and cafés make it easy to simply hang out too. The food is reliably good in these parts, with Baška Voda rafioli, filled with almonds, nuts and maraschino cherries, a favourite local speciality.
Not far from Baška Voda is the glorious Punta Rata beach at Brela, considered one of the finest beaches on the Makarska Riviera. Makarska itself is only a 15-minute drive down the coast. This resort’s sandy beach extends to almost 2km, and the town is a favourite with those looking for lively nightlife. In summer, evenings in Makarska are enlivened by weekly Fishermen’s Nights, with fresh fish, local wine and plenty of fun and music.
With lovely restaurant terraces, the city’s main square, Kačić, will impress you with its wonderful mountain views – and so will the weather. The town enjoys more than 2750 hours of sun each year and remains pretty mild even in winter, although things are considerably quieter. Walks in the mountains are sure to get you relaxed and appreciating this area’s great natural beauty. Look out for the Biokovo Skywalk, a glass-bottomed viewing platform offering spectacular panoramas from more than 1200 metres above sea level.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThere’s plenty for the kids to enjoy around this part of Croatia. The coast is lined with magnificent beaches, while Imotski has its breath-taking lakes. A swim in the Blue Lake, not far from town, is the must-do experience.
If they prefer, you could head south to the mountains of the Biokovo National Park for some unforgettable sights. There’s no better place to take in the beauty of the Makarska Riviera than the Biokovo Skywalk – this impressive glass viewing platform offers gorgeous sea views from a great height.
Move on to Makarska and check out the Observatory and Astro Park. Not far from the beach, the kids will love this unusual attraction, especially after dark when the stargazing begins. You and they will be in expert hands and can learn a lot about the solar system as you put your eyes to the telescope. Outside the observatory is the Astro Park playground which is especially suited to young children.
The Makarska Riviera offers lots of natural beauty too. Sveti Petar Forest Park is a short distance from the Old Town – you can hike around the park to see the Sveti Petar lighthouse, maybe stop for a swim, and enjoy stunning views across the bay. Between Makarska and Tucepi, there’s also the Osejava Forest Park and Nugal Beach. This is a stunning, hidden-away beach which is well worth the walk to get there – but be aware that some areas are intended for nudists. If you are in the area of Baška Voda, you are sure to want to visit the idyllic Brela Beach too.
Within around one hour’s drive, the city of Split never disappoints. Croatia’s second city is especially good for families, with a ton of great attractions. You’ll find a big indoor playroom, a semi-submarine, aquarium, a chocolate shop like no other and a quirky museum of frogs. And if all that’s not enough, the huge Diocletian’s Palace is a historic gem and this city’s biggest draw.
A similar distance away, the town of Omiš is worth setting aside a whole day for. Make sure they get a good night’s sleep first as this town is all about getting active. As well as the zip-lines across the Cetina Canyon and a wide range of water sports, you could even jump aboard a pirate ship and discover more about Omiš’ grisly pirate past.
