Why we chose it

The private beach with boat mooring sets this property apart from most Croatian coastal villas, offering genuine waterfront privacy that's increasingly rare along the developed Dalmatian Coast. Unlike properties that claim beach access through shared paths or rocky shorelines, this villa provides direct access to a private stretch of sand where guests can moor their own vessel. The 11-acre estate of heritage olive and orange trees, some dating to the 1700s, creates an authentic sense of place that goes beyond typical luxury amenities. Most coastal villas in Croatia offer sea views; few offer the combination of private beach access, extensive grounds, and the tranquillity of Molunat, one of the region's last undeveloped fishing villages whilst remaining within easy reach of Dubrovnik.
