Villa Manatis & Moana

Perched above the historic stone lanes of Vrbnik on the island of Krk, this newly built (2024) residence offers a refined coastal retreat across 400 m² of interior and a 2,300 m² private plot. Designed for effortless gatherings, the villa sleeps 14 guests across eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms, and commands gentle seaviews from select suites. Outdoors, a 54 m² heated salt-water pool and a bubbling Jacuzzi invite long, languid days; the property’s careful landscaping, fully fenced yard and private parking ensure both privacy and ease for discerning groups.

Interiors strike a balance between contemporary comfort and island character — a stone house with a fireplace, underfloor heating and air conditioning in every room create year-round appeal. Two fully equipped kitchens and an indoor dining table for 16 make entertaining seamless, while Smart TVs (HBO, Netflix) and dedicated workspaces cater to both leisure and remote productivity. Six double bedrooms boast en-suite facilities; two additional single rooms complete the sleeping arrangements. Practical comforts include abundant storage, safes, washing machine and dryer, and a welcome package to begin your stay.

The grounds read like a private beach club and family playground in one: 20 sun loungers, eight umbrellas, an outdoor kitchen with gas barbecue and mini bar, outdoor showers and an outdoor gym frame the pool terrace. Children are well provided for with a sandpit, playground and table tennis, while adults can recharge in two saunas, enjoy SUP boarding and cycling trails, or book private chef, massage, yoga instructor or concierge services on request. The villa is pet friendly (on request) and can host carefully planned events and weddings.

Just 200 m from the beach and Vrbnik town centre — with restaurants, markets and cafes within a short stroll — the location is intimate yet convenient; Rijeka Airport is 15 km away. Perfect for multigenerational families, groups of friends seeking a wellness or gastronomic escape, or couples celebrating a milestone, the property welcomes refined gatherings (young groups are not permitted).
