In one paragraph

Marim Luxury Villas is a family-owned collection of three luxury villas on the island of Krk, Croatia. Villa Marim, built in 2018, stands on a rock directly above the sea in Stara Baška, with private sea access, a pool and a spa. Villa Moana and Villa Manatis, opened in May 2024, sit among olive trees on the edge of the wine village of Vrbnik, each with a 12-metre pool; booked together they form the Estate for 14 guests. All three were designed, built and furnished by the Haller family from Carinthia, Austria — Hans Haller made every piece of furniture in his own workshop — and are run personally by the family. Guests book directly with the owners. In 2024 Marim Luxury Villas received the Luxury Lifestyle Award in the Island Villa category.

The full story — how the family found Krk, the two building years, the wedding on the rock — is on the About page. The building story in detail: Two years in the olive grove.

The people

Hans Haller Master craftsman. Built every piece of furniture in the three villas in his workshop in Carinthia and was on the construction sites through both builds.

Angelika Haller Villa manager. Welcomes guests in Vrbnik and looks after the houses through the season.

Benjamin Haller Owner and concierge. Answers every inquiry personally and is the press contact.

Anna Haller Owner and marketing. Benjamin and Anna married at Villa Marim, on the rock above the sea.

Story angles

  • The family that built it themselves. An Austrian family designs three villas on a Croatian island, builds them with the local trades over two years, and makes the furniture at home in Carinthia.
  • Sleeping on a rock above the Adriatic. Villa Marim was built on a natural rock formation with the sea on three sides; every room looks at the water.
  • Direct booking as a model. No agency, no portal in between: the owner answers within hours, prices are the owner’s prices, and the guest deals with the same people before, during and after the stay.
  • The wine village. Vrbnik grows Žlahtina, a grape found almost nowhere else. Guests walk to the cellars and to the annual wine festival. Our guides: Žlahtina and the cellars of Vrbnik, the Vrbnik wine festival.
  • The quiet side of Krk. Stara Baška and its coves: Zala Beach and the coves of Stara Baška.
