Autumn works have begun (and no, the villa didn’t really need them)
9 November 2026
Croatia has become one of Europe’s most sought-after holiday destinations, and for good reason. But while many visitors flock to crowded resort hotels in Dubrovnik or Split, seasoned travellers are discovering a far better way to experience the Dalmatian coast: renting a private villa with pool in Croatia, tucked away in an authentic coastal village.

Nestled between Trogir and Primošten, the small fishing village of Vinišće offers everything you need for a perfect seaside holiday in Croatia — without the tourist crowds. With crystal-clear waters, stone houses draped in bougainvillea, and a pace of life that invites you to slow down, Vinišće is the kind of place you fall in love with and return to year after year.
Choosing a holiday villa rental in Croatia over a hotel transforms your trip entirely. Here’s why more families and groups are making the switch:
Orange Tree Villa sits on the hillside above Vinišće, offering breathtaking views over the Adriatic Sea and the surrounding islands. With its private heated pool overlooking the bay, spacious sun terraces, and stylish Mediterranean interiors, it’s the ideal base for your Croatian holiday villa experience.
The villa sleeps up to 6 guests comfortably, making it perfect for families or small groups looking for a luxury villa rental near Split. Every detail has been thought through — from the fully equipped kitchen to the outdoor dining area where you’ll want to linger long after sunset.
One of the greatest advantages of staying in Vinišće is its central location on the Dalmatian coast. From here, you can easily explore:
A vacation rental by the sea in Croatia isn’t just about the accommodation — it’s about a lifestyle. It’s grilling fresh fish while the kids splash in the pool. It’s sipping local wine as the sun sets over the islands. It’s the freedom to create your own rhythm, far from the regimented schedule of a hotel.
In Vinišće, you’ll experience authentic Croatia: friendly neighbours, family-run restaurants serving food made from ingredients grown metres away, and evenings so quiet you can hear the sea from your terrace.
If you’re dreaming of a seaside villa holiday in Croatia where you can truly relax, explore, and connect with the Mediterranean way of life, Orange Tree Villa in Vinišće is waiting for you. Browse our guide to local activities to start planning your perfect Dalmatian escape.
A villa gives you privacy and space, with living areas, private terraces and your own pool, so there is no fighting for sunbeds. You enjoy sea views from your terrace, live at your own pace, and it often costs less per person than several hotel rooms for families or groups.
Orange Tree Villa sleeps up to six guests comfortably, which makes it perfect for families or small groups. It sits on the hillside above Vinišće with views over the Adriatic and the islands, and offers a private pool, sun terraces and a fully equipped kitchen.
Split Airport is the closest international airport, just 30 minutes from Vinišće. We also recommend renting a car: Vinišće has restaurants and a small shop, but a car lets you explore the coast freely, including Trogir, 20 minutes away.
