Shades of Summertime is a four-bedroom villa in Slatine on Čiovo Island, sleeping eight guests with direct sea views and a private infinity pool. The modern property sits just steps from the beach on Croatia's Dalmatian Coast, offering unobstructed Adriatic views from its elevated position. With an outdoor kitchen, jacuzzi and private garden, the villa provides a complete coastal retreat for families or groups of friends. The location places guests 25 kilometres from Split's UNESCO World Heritage centre whilst maintaining the quieter appeal of island life. Slatine itself offers authentic Croatian coastal living with local bakeries and restaurants within walking distance. The property includes access to a shared gym and boat berth on request, adding practical amenities to its seaside position. From the infinity pool terrace, guests can watch the waves whilst cooking in the outdoor kitchen or relaxing in the jacuzzi under the stars. The villa's modern design and sea-facing orientation maximise the coastal setting, with various workspace areas accommodating those working remotely. UNESCO World Heritage Sites Trogir and Split are both easily accessible by car, making this an ideal base for exploring Central Dalmatia whilst enjoying private beachside relaxation.

Why we chose it

The infinity pool positioned to frame uninterrupted sea views creates a visual connection between the villa's terrace and the horizon that most coastal properties cannot achieve from this elevation. Unlike many Croatian villas that sit inland from the coast, Shades of Summertime delivers genuine steps-to-sand access whilst maintaining the privacy of an elevated position with commanding Adriatic views. One of the few properties in this stretch of Čiovo that combines both immediate beach access and a boat berth on request, offering guests the choice between land-based relaxation and maritime exploration of the Dalmatian islands.
