the old town, the sea, the Adriatic stretching west.
This is your view. Not from a terrace — from every window.

Vrbnik  ·  Island of Krk  ·  Croatia
Villa Manatis open-plan living and dining room with full-height glazing and sea view

Architecture that earns
every view it commands.


Villa Manatis is the most architecturally considered property in Vrbnik — clean geometry, full-height glazing, and materials chosen for warmth as much as precision. Three en-suite bedrooms on the upper floor each open onto a panoramic balcony. Below them, a living area designed for the kind of evenings that make a week feel like a month.

The heated 12-metre pool stretches across the garden with a shallow lounging area at one end. Adjacent, the glass-fronted pool house contains a Finnish sauna — through its wall, the pool and Vrbnik beyond. Below the pool, a private sand court: volleyball, bocce, barefoot afternoons. The only one of its kind on Krk island.

What makes Manatis
worth remembering.

Villa Manatis glass-fronted pool house at dusk — Finnish sauna with pool and sea view

The Pool House

A dedicated building beside the water — glass-fronted Finnish sauna that faces the pool and Vrbnik beyond. You sweat in silence while the medieval tower glows amber across the bay. There is no better seat at golden hour, on this island or any other.

Villa Manatis modern architecture — clean geometry and full-height glazing

The Architecture

Designed by one of Croatia's most prominent architecture studios. Every window placed to frame the precise view they wanted you to wake up to. Clean geometry, full-height glazing, materials chosen as carefully as the location itself.

Panoramic view of Vrbnik old town and the Adriatic from Villa Manatis terrace

The View

Every bedroom, every balcony, the pool terrace, the sauna — all face the same direction: Vrbnik old town and open sea. By day, blue and white. By night, the medieval tower glows amber and the stars reflect in the Adriatic below.

Medieval since the 13th century.
Your backdrop tonight.

How a day

Earned.

Cool linen. Warm light.
A day that earned this rest.

Very beautiful, modern villa with a wonderful pool area and a wonderful view of the sea and town (even from the bed). We really enjoyed the luxury in a quiet location, close to great bays and towns.

Austrian precision.
Mediterranean warmth.
Made for you.

Three villas.
One family.
Every detail personal.

Benjamin and his family commissioned one of Croatia's most prominent architecture studios to design Villa Manatis — then oversaw every detail personally: the choice of materials, the furniture from their workshop in Austria, the placement of each element to frame the sea view precisely. When you write to us, you reach the family. When something matters, we are there.

Tourist tax (€2/person/night) is paid locally.

What exactly is the sand court?

The sand court is a private, levelled surface filled with fine sand below the pool terrace. Guests use it for beach volleyball, bocce, or simply barefoot lounging. It is the only facility of this kind at any villa on Krk island — and one of the things guests mention most in reviews. No equipment hire needed: net and balls are provided.

What is the pool house sauna?

Adjacent to the 12m heated pool, the pool house is a dedicated structure with a Finnish sauna behind a full glass wall that faces the pool and the sea. You can see the water from inside the sauna. It is available year-round and is included in the rental price with no extra charge.

Minimum stay is 7 nights in peak season (July–August). Shorter stays of 3–5 nights are often possible in shoulder season (April–June, September–October) — write to us to check availability.

The Adriatic is about 300m as the crow flies. On foot the path takes around 500m (roughly 7 minutes). The hidden pebble beach tucked below Vrbnik old town is around 800m on foot — well worth the walk.

Exceptionally so. The heated pool has a shallow lounging area. The sand court provides safe outdoor play space. The fourth bedroom has a single bed — ideal for a teenager or additional guest. Baby cot and high chair available on request. The table tennis table is a hit with older children and teenagers.

How big is the pool at Villa Manatis?

The pool at Villa Manatis is 12 metres long and fully heated — usable from spring through to late autumn. It sits on the main terrace with a view towards the sea and Vrbnik old town. The adjacent pool house contains the Finnish sauna with its distinctive full-glass wall facing the water.
