The villa

Commanding panoramic views of the Adriatic from its hillside perch in the picturesque landscape surrounding Kaštel Novi, Croatia, Villa Kailah is an idyllic retreat. This enchanting 4 - bedroom villa, tastefully designed to accommodate up to 8 guests, welcomes guests with a blend of modern amenities and traditional indoor - outdoor living.

Stepping into the villa reveals a spacious open concept living area complete with plush furnishings, dining area, entertainment area and large panoramic windows letting in scenic views and floods of natural light. Adjacent to the living area guests will find a fully - equipped kitchen ready to roar for anybody with culinary inspiration, whether they want to whip up a Mediterranean salad or a holiday feast for family and friends.

On the ground floor rests the first of four bedrooms. The room boasts a queen - sized bed, TV, AC, and a separate shower and WC can be found next door. In the adjoining garage there’s a table tennis table, fussball table and additional kids’ toys.

Ascending to the upper floor reveals three more bedrooms. The master bedroom exudes opulence with its super king - sized bed, panoramic views and ensuite bathroom with walk - in shower, WC and a freestanding bathtub. Two further bedrooms contain queen - sized beds, TVs, AC, and access to a separate WC with a shower and washing machine.

Making our way outside brings Villa Kailah into a world of its own. The private swimming pool, jacuzzi, deck chairs, baldachin sun bed and shaded al fresco dining area complete with unbeatable views of the surrounding landscape, town and sea.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. Across from the pool guests will find a spectacular summer kitchen with barbecue (woods/charcoal), a kitchen (fridge, dishwasher, stove, kettle), lounge corner, darts board, bar, dining table, sound system and a WC.

Villa Kailah seamlessly blends modern comfort with the ease of indoor - outdoor living, ensuring families and groups of friends will enjoy every aspect of this stylish and playful holiday home.

Nestled between two UNESCO heritage cities, Trogir (15 - minute drive) and Split (28 - minute drive), and only a short distance from Split Airport (14 - minutes drive), Villa Kailah is well situated for both relaxation and exploration.

The villa itself is tucked away in a quiet residential area but does not come up short when it comes to conveniences close at hand. A supermarket (10 - minute walking, 2 - minute drive) is easily reached, as well as a number of local restaurants. The town of Kaštel Novi (2km, 8 - minute drive) boasts a larger selection of shops, markets, restaurants, bars, and of course, the beach.

Nearby Split is the largest city in Dalmatia, a transport hub for surrounding islands, and a unique jewel on the Adriatic coast. The city’s UNESCO - listed palace once belonging to Roman emperor Diocletian dates back more than 1,700 years and is a must see. Wander the palace’s marble walkways or have an expert guide regale you with the palace’s endless delights from the Temple of Jupiter to the Palace cellars - all stunningly preserved from antiquity. For a great view of the city and its surrounds, climb the bell tower of the Cathedral of Saint Dominus in the heart of the palace - once the mausoleum for the emperor himself.

If Diocletian’s Palace whets your historical whistle, the nearby Fortress of Klis and Salona Ruins are well worth a visit. The city of Trogir - or “museum town” as many know it - is famous for its historical monuments and cathedrals.

The Split waterfront, known as the “Riva”, is a spectacular promenade for tourists and locals alike. Take a seat, sip coffee or wine, and partake in what the locals call “fjaka” - the art of doing nothing.
