The water here is the colour of something you don't have a word for.
An island with its own rhythm. Made for people who live well.
Three villas. Every experience on Krk. All yours.

Kvarner Bay shelters Krk from the open Adriatic, and in summer the sea here reaches about 25°C. Pine forests tumble to the shore. Olive groves older than memory line the inland valleys. The Žlahtina grape grows mostly in the Vrbnik field. Krk is busy in August, but away from the beach towns it keeps its villages, vineyards and quiet coves.

On the Water
The Adriatic is yours to explore.
01
Boat Charter & Sailing
Skippered sailboat, motor yacht, or day boat — your choice. A captain who knows every unmarked cove. Island-hop to Cres or Lošinj, or sail past the wild island of Prvić. Anchor in crystalline water. Stay as long as you want.
02
Jet Ski
Skimming the flat Kvarner surface at speed. Equipment, safety briefing, and transport arranged from your villa door.
03
Scuba Diving
Posidonia meadows, octopus, and walls of colour. Guided dives for all levels depart from Stara Baška.
04
Wakeboarding
Krk’s cable park in Punat bay, open May to October, lets teenagers ride while parents sit on the terrace. Or go behind a boat in the quiet morning bay — before anyone else is awake.
05
Stand Up Paddling
Glide over water so clear you can count the stones beneath you. Villa Marim and Villa Manatis each have a paddleboard; at Villa Marim you paddle straight from the rock into the open Adriatic.
Food & Wine
The island sets the table.
01
Žlahtina. Still pouring.
The indigenous white grape of the Vrbnik field, pressed in the cellars of Vrbnik. Taste it at Katunar Estate, where we buy the welcome wine for the villas — dry, mineral, impossibly fresh. From Villa Manatis and Villa Moana you walk back along the vineyard road.
02
Truffle pasta. Fresh catch. Krk lamb.
Krk lamb is slow-roasted on embers. The pasta is hand-rolled and finished with truffles from the Istrian interior, two hours away. Fish comes off the boat that morning.
03
The tables worth finding.
Three restaurants we recommend.
Restaurant Nada — Vrbnik
Vrbnik’s classic since 1974, with its own Žlahtina and a terrace high above the Vinodol Channel. Try the seafood šurlice. Ask for the terrace when you book in July and August; it can’t always be guaranteed.
Volsonis — Krk Town
A bar built into the Roman remains under Krk’s main square, with a candle-lit garden and live music on most summer evenings. Come for cocktails and the setting, or a light dinner.
Olive Garden — above Punat
Hidden on the hillside above Punat bay. Simple, direct, perfect: grilled meat and fish, house Žlahtina, an olive oil that tastes like the tree it came from. The terrace view alone is worth the drive.

Wellness
The morning you do nothing but breathe.
Three villas, three different ways to exhale. The barrel sauna at Moana stands in the olive grove. The sauna and jacuzzi at Marim sit on the terrace above the sea. And sometimes the best therapy is simply floating in water warm enough to fall asleep in.

Location
You are at the centre of all of this.
Three villas placed exactly where Krk island is most alive — between the wild beaches, the medieval wine villages, and the open sea.
Most guests don't realise until they've booked: Krk is connected to the Croatian mainland by a bridge — no ferry, no schedule. You drive across. That changes everything, especially if you are arriving by car from Austria, Germany, or Slovenia.
Rijeka Airport is 30–45 minutes from the villas. It has direct summer flights from several European cities (check the current schedule). Zagreb Airport is 2.5 hours and serves year-round routes from most of Europe. If you prefer to drive, you are looking at 5 hours from Vienna and 6 from Munich — straight down the motorway, over the bridge, and you are here.
The one thing worth doing: arrange a private transfer from the airport. Arriving with luggage after a flight, and then navigating a new island by rental car in July, is a poor start to a holiday. We arrange transfers from all four airports. Your driver knows exactly where you are going.
