VILLA MLINI – MLINI BAY, DUBROVNIK RIVIERA
Sleeps 12 | 7 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms | Pool
Villa Overview
Villa in Dubrovnik – Villa Mlini is a super Croatia villa with pool near Dubrovnik Old Town and Mlini beaches and restaurants. “What a stunning,memorable week we have had at Villa Mlini… Could not have been better”… This Dubrovnik villa with views across the bay to the islands, is very popular with our guests, particularly families, and quite a few have been back several times over the years.
A perfect family villa, it’s one where you can really manage without a car, with the bus stop to Dubrovnik, Cavtat and a large supermarket just down the road, or the water taxi from the harbour, you can get about quite cheaply and easily.
The interior of the house certainly has the wow factor – with all mod cons, and is most comfortable after a day on the beach (or a night on the tiles!). With its “Entertainment Room” (Home Cinema & Office Facilities with Play Station and 3D TV), this is the perfect pad to retire back to.
The villa comprises 7 bedrooms; 5 double bedrooms and 2 twin bedrooms, giving a great deal of flexibility in sleeping arrangements. Two of the double bedrooms are found in a self-contained suite in the upper storey, complete with bathroom and open plan living/dining/kitchen. The suite is accessed by internal stairs from the main part of the villa, so is integral to it, but would be ideal if two families, or a family with young children or teens who wanted to share accommodation, but at times wanted the privacy of separate living space.
Two of the bedrooms are on the ground floor allowing the open plan living and dining room a fantastic view out across Mlini to the sea and islands beyond! This Dubrovnik villa with views boasts a stylish and private pool along with 2 large terraces covered with vines to shade you from the sun while dining or relaxing. Pool-side, and leading from the kitchen, there is also a wonderful al-fresco dining area and BBQ area, perfect for those long summer evenings…

Mlini Bay has a long stretch of pebbly beach and beautiful turquoise, calm sea on one side, along with a pretty little harbour, and on the other side there is a beautiful sweeping bay with little coves and pine shaded beaches to discover as you meander along the path – all very relaxing. For more sophistication, head into Dubrovnik Old Town and explore the windy streets – there are plenty of shops and cafes and wonderful architecture to enchant you. Or head out of Dubrovnik altogether and discover its nearby islands by kayak or bike!
From here you can water taxi in to the Old Town of Dubrovnik and back from May to October, and you can also water taxi to Cavtat Bay and Plat Bay, or hop on a boat to explore the lovely local Elafiti Islands off the coast.
