Sleeps 12 | 6 Bedrooms | 6 Bathrooms | Hot Tub | Gym | Pool | Sauna | Beach | Games Room
Villa Overview
This well-equipped large beach villa has long been in our portfolio and gets consistently excellent reviews and guests who return for second stays!
This luxury sea edge villa has direct access to the beach from the garden gate, all en-suite bedrooms, contemporary styling, gym, sauna, plus balconies, terrace, jacuzzi and pool all with a sea view, which make Palm Tree Villa a stand-out choice.
There are complimentary kayaks too, plus boat mooring, and a pool table and darts to occupy you when you tire of the pool. You’ll enjoy al-fresco meals on the terrace sampling freshly cooked food you’ve made in the summer kitchen and its wood-fired BBQ.
This large beach villa is just a short transfer from the airport, and there’s easy access by car or water taxi to the stunning UNESCO World Heritage sites of Trogir and Split Old Towns with their atmospheric restaurants, café bars and winding car-free streets.
Location Overview
This is a great location for easy access to the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Trogir Old Town and Split Old Town – both are stunning. Trogir for its car-free medieval streets, where you’ll find hidden courtyard restaurants offering the finest local organic food, café bars with plenty of opportunities for people watching, a lovely restaurant-lined Riva perfect for inspecting the expensive yachts, and little shops, including ice cream shops with ice cream to rival any Italian gelato!
Split old town is formed around Roman Emperor Diocletian’s palace, the city’s living heart, its labyrinth of streets packed with people, bars, shops and restaurants – locals have over the years occupied nooks in the rambling palace fabric to make their homes – it’s a true neighbourhood, and lovely for it. Expect to come across locals’ acapella groups serenading you with a love song!
The Split riviera is super for families, with lovely beaches, ultra clean sea water (Blue Flag awards abound), water sports, water taxis to get around, and excursions on offer. Maybe take a trip to swim in the Blue cave, with a stop at a beach-side restaurant, or explore the superb Krka national park with its waterfalls and pools that you can cool off in – stop off at Šibenik on the way home to marvel in the UNESCO World Heritage cathedral, or take the opportunity to sample the fare in ‘Pelegrini’, Sibenik’s renowned Michelin star restaurant. Head down the coast from Split to Omis and visit the historic town before experiencing a zip wire ride over the Cetina River, riding the rapids or some canyoning for example!

Reviews
ONE OF THE MOST RELAXING HOLIDAYS..
“What a holiday! One of the most relaxing holidays I’ve ever enjoyed in a beautiful and well adorned villa. We stayed in the annex, which whilst not able to boast the elevated views of the main house, was very comfortable and extremely convenient for the pool, beach and gardens. Suffice it to say that he villa was fantastic, with great outdoor areas and a superb barbecue area, but what made the holiday for me was that everything was so simple. Matko, the host and owner of the villa, was constantly attentive and organised away days to Krka National Park, a day on the water visiting beautiful spots and swimming in secluded covers, an afternoon in Trogir and even arranged for us to be picked up and dropped off at a local restaurant. Absolutely first class service for which we are massively grateful. Because of this level of service, the holiday was totally stress free. Everything worked like clockwork. All in all, this was a fantastic holiday made as near perfect as possible by an outstanding host. Thank you Matko. SC” June 2022
WE ALL LOVED THE VILLA
“We all loved the Villa, it was fantastic such a great place for a family holiday. The Villa is well equipped with everything we needed. The Garden apartment was perfect for 3 of our guests. We made good use of the kayak and paddle board and being so close to the sea was great. The host, was brilliant, airport transfers by Matko were seamless and immediately you felt relaxed on arrival. Nothing was too much trouble and we would definitely recommend Palm Tree Villa. Finally Helen, we would highly recommend your company, always ready with good advice and reassurance. Will definitely be booking through yourselves again. Thank you very much for everything.” JR August 2021
FANTASTIC HOLIDAY
“We all had a fantastic holiday at Palm Tree Villa, made even better by the host who picked us up at the airport and continued to be a taxi service for us, which was incredibly helpful. He and his wife even cooked us a traditional meal one night which was lovely. The villa was very well equipped, everything we needed. Your company kept us informed all the way through a very difficult time really what with all the tests we had to do! I would highly recommend your company to friends.” A Holden, Aug 07 2021
5-STAR VILLA
“We had an amazing two-week stay at Palm Tree Villa, and would rate the accommodation, services of the host and local area all as 5-star. In particular, we would comment on the following: – The size, layout and furnishings of the villa were excellent for a party of 10 adults and young people. It was exceptionally spacious and well equipped. – The outside space was exceptional, with incredible views. Shady areas for dining, a great BBQ area, and the pool was the perfect size. – We wanted a villa that was located near a beach, accessible for grocery shopping, and ideally by a few restaurants and bars. Palm Tree Villa hit all of those requirements. We loved the relaxed beach bars, the local pizza restaurant was of exceptional quality, and Hotel Tina was fabulous; one of the best meals we had. – A special mention must be made of Matko, our brilliant villa host. Nothing was too much trouble for him, he was attentive without being intrusive and we benefited from his advice on where to eat and which beaches to visit. He organised taxis and helped out with day trips. – A particular highlight was the city of Trogir. Being so close to such a beautiful city was a real bonus, and we enjoyed the shopping and nightlife on several occasions. – Finally, the location was ideal for extended day trips to Hwa, Brac and Split; all of which we took advantage of. In conclusion, Palm Tree Villa is difficult to find fault with. For mixed groups it is ideal, as we never felt on top of one another, and there was plenty of external distractions as we were right on the beach and could easily go to and from Trogir. It was lively enough whilst never feeling overly touristy, crowded or rowdy. We would love to return and introduce some of our other family and friends to this magical slice of Croatia. A big thank you for recommending it to us; you were spot on with your assessment, and also to Matko for running such a special holiday home.” The B&R families, Aug 29 2022
