“A beautiful house on the coast in Stara Baška, very quiet location. … Everywhere on the terrace, there are wonderful views of the sea and the surrounding beaches and coastline. In this house, you feel like you’re alone on the island. There were eight of us, and it was spacious enough to allow for some privacy. Direct beach access was a major factor in our choice of house.”
“What a magical stay. … It truly felt like our dream house on a cliff by the sea. The villa is a perfect blend of luxury and coziness, with every detail thoughtfully designed to create comfort and beauty. … After many years of visiting Croatia, we have never come across a place quite like this. Benjamin was the kindest host, always responsive and warm.”
“Five stars are hardly enough here. The seafront location is a dream, the view from the pool even more so — glittering water in the morning, sunsets in the evening. What impressed us most: someone really thought this house through. There was nothing it didn’t have.”
“Our family vacation at Villa Marim was simply wonderful. … The villa’s location is unique – with direct access to the sea and breathtaking views, it’s the perfect place to unwind. … Whether relaxing on the comfortable loungers or in the stylish lounge on the terrace, we spent many unforgettable hours there, often sitting together late into the night.”
“… The owners are very friendly and attentive to every need! It delivers on all its promises! We’ll definitely be back next year.”
“Villa Marim is a house in a perfect location. The private access to the sea with a small but lovely pebble beach is fantastic. The kitchen is fully equipped with high-quality brand-name appliances and everything you could possibly need. … So, everything is perfect; it makes you want to come back again.”
“The most beautiful holiday villa on Krk, fantastic amenities, direct sea access. Very friendly Austrian owners who had a solution for all questions and concerns. We highly recommend Villa Marim.”
“We had an amazing stay at Villa Marim! The villa is beautiful, very clean, comfortable, and perfectly equipped. The location is fantastic, with stunning sea views and a peaceful atmosphere. A special thank you to Angelika for her kindness, hospitality, and excellent communication throughout our stay. … We highly recommend Villa Marim to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday in Croatia.”
“The villa is located right on the sea with a turquoise pool, sauna, and whirlpool overlooking the sea. Very exclusive furnishings with extra comfortable beds and stunning sea views from all four bedrooms. … We even booked our next two-week stay for next year before we left!”
“Thank you so much for wonderful days in your fantastic house. The location is lovely. The photos match reality. … We would very much like to come back.”

“A dream vacation! The villa is right on the sea! Luxurious amenities and nothing is left to be desired — direct sea access, barbecue, sauna, pool, cozy outdoor lounge. The rooms offer direct views of the sea and the pool! Each room has its own bathroom! Super quiet location! We’ll be back!”
“This was the nicest, most relaxing and luxurious stay our family of four has ever had (and we’ve stayed at five star hotels and resorts all over the world). … This was our sixth vacation in Vrbnik and while we typically stay in the old town area, this time we decided to try something different and we were blown away. Peaceful location, just a few minutes from the center and the beaches, breathtaking views, floor to ceiling windows, clean/modern design, heavenly beds. … The hosts were exceptionally warm, welcoming, and responsive.”
“Another wonderful week spent at Villa Moana. We came in 2024 for the first time and had to come back to this wonderful place this year with our friends. The Villa has everything you need and more. Stunning views, cozy interior, a barbecue place of my husband’s dreams, the kitchen is fully equipped and the outdoor area invites to relax and finish the day with a sauna session surrounded by olive trees.”
“We stayed 6 days at Villa Moana as a group of friends with three small children, and it was the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday. … One of the highlights is the stunning view overlooking Vrbnik, with beautiful sunrises every morning. … On rainy days, we had a great time with barbecues, played ping pong, and enjoyed the dry sauna while listening to the rain outside. … Having a scooter at our disposal was an added bonus.”
“Villa Moana is simply a dream! We stayed here with three families and their children… the shared space is spacious and functional, the rooms intimate and romantic, and the exterior is wonderful with the olive garden that extends below the infinity pool! The view from the villa is beautiful and we will always cherish it!”
“We had an absolutely beautiful time staying at Villa Moana for 4 nights. Everything was perfect. You can tell the care and attention to detail that went into designing this home. Ideal for a group of friends or family looking for a place to rest, relax, and admire the beautiful nature surrounding the property.”
“The view of the sea and the village is one of the best in Vrbnik because you are located at the highest point. Every evening, I was able to do my yoga exercises in the warm open air with that serene view. … With the scooter that comes with the house, we went to buy bread at the local bakery every morning and enjoyed a doppio on a terrace in the village. … With our electric car, which we could charge right at the house, we toured the entire island.”
“Villa Moana is simply stunning. The location is wonderfully peaceful and perfect for relaxation. The sea view completes the ambiance. The house is furnished with great attention to detail – you really won’t want for anything. … The Vespa they provide makes getting breakfast a special outing ;)”
“Our stay at Villa Moana was simply unforgettable! On arrival we were warmly welcomed by Benjamin and his team — true hosts with heart, who gave us plenty of great tips for excursions and restaurants. The villa itself is a dream: an enormous infinity pool, music throughout the outdoor area, lovingly designed planting and a beautiful olive grove to relax in. The barrel sauna is a special highlight — afterwards you feel reborn!”
“We particularly enjoyed the well-kept outdoor area with the 12-metre heated pool, the whirlpool, the lovely garden design and the outdoor kitchen with grill. The sauna among the olive trees was a highlight. With the stand-up paddleboard we explored the island’s most beautiful coves, and with the Vespa we fetched breakfast in the mornings or discovered the surroundings.”
“We spent eight days at Villa Moana and it was wonderful. Our expectations were even exceeded. The spacious, modern, yet cozy villa is equipped with everything you could possibly need. All kinds of spices, vinegar and oil, coffee beans… everything is provided. … The entire outdoor area is beautifully landscaped with a variety of plants, and the view is sensational.”
“We had a wonderful time at Villa Moana in Vrbnik and felt completely at home from the first moment. The house is modern, stylish and furnished with great attention to detail — nothing is missing. The dreamlike view, the beautiful pool and the sauna were simply glorious. … A truly special place to rest and enjoy.”
“Nothing to complain about. Everything was perfect. Villa is new and very well equipped. Location is close to a nice old city Vrbnik, but remote enough to be quiet. Perfect for larger companies and families with kids.”
“From the moment we booked, our host family looked after us :) The villa lies beautifully on the hillside, and Vrbnik is within walking distance — which makes going out to eat together without a car so much easier! We felt at home and truly welcome in the villa straight away. A place to be.”
“What an amazing place. Stunning villa with everything that we could have wished for. Lots of games, sports equipment, the wonderful pool and the sauna kept us all busy and the comfortable furniture inside and outside kept us chilled. Easy walk to town which was great. The hosts were all fantastic with information, help and communication. My family and I had a fantastic time and we are hoping to return next year for another visit.”
“We were welcomed personally at check-in and everything worth knowing was explained to us right away. The house itself was exactly as described — superbly equipped, well kept and very modern. As a family we can warmly recommend this place.”

“Our stay at Villa Manatis was simply perfect! The villa undoubtedly belongs to the luxury segment: modern, meticulously designed, and equipped with every comfort. What struck us most was the spectacular sea view, which gives us a sense of peace and freedom every day. … One of the highlights, without a doubt, is the enormous, impeccable pool surrounded by comfortable loungers. … The location is excellent: quiet, yet just steps from wonderful beaches. In short, Villa Manatis is the ideal place for those seeking luxury, privacy, and nature. We’ll definitely be back – highly recommended!”

We’ve stayed in many lovely houses, but this villa simply has EVERYTHING for a carefree holiday. … The service before and during our stay was exemplary. All our questions were answered quickly, kindly, and professionally. And our mothers were even surprised with a birthday gift. Thank you for the wonderful time. We would love to come back.”

Even on the drive up to the villa, you have a breathtaking view of the sea and the old town of Vrbnik, which you can also enjoy from the bedrooms and the terrace. … The furnishings are very modern and tasteful. Communication with the owners, both from booking and throughout the stay, is exceptionally pleasant and friendly. Questions are answered promptly, and you feel very well looked after.”
