Not all ships sail, some just anchor in paradise . Perched on Hvar’s cliffs, this white villa leans toward Šćedro , the pool catches the sun, and the nearest beach (and fresh fish) is just a short stroll away . Decisions here are simple: swim, sip, repeat.
Villa Features
Resembling a white ship sailing toward Šćedro, this award-winning luxury villa rises from the dramatic landscape of pine forests, red cliffs, and the deep blue Adriatic in Sveta Nedjelja, Hvar. Completed in 2025, it is a striking blend of contemporary architecture and the raw beauty of Dalmatia.
Set on a 2.627m2 private estate, the villa offers 356m2 of living space across three levels, designed to maximise comfort, privacy, and uninterrupted sea views. The basement houses a private garage, technical rooms, a games room, and an elegant wine tasting room, celebrating the steep vineyards and world-class wines of southern Hvar. A fourth en-suite bedroom provides additional privacy for guests.
The ground floor opens into a bright, fluid living area with a modern kitchen, refined dining space, and a stylish lounge. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors, filling the home with Mediterranean light and sea breeze. Upstairs, three spacious en-suite bedrooms each feature private balconies with panoramic views of the Adriatic and surrounding islands, while the master suite includes a freestanding bathtub and a slender cantilevered terrace, reminiscent of a ship’s bow gliding toward Šćedro.
Designed by studio 25.4mm and winner of the BIG SEE Award 2025, the villa harmonises beautifully with its surroundings. Its white trapezoidal form contrasts with the turquoise infinity pool, while traditional dry-stone walls anchor it in Dalmatian heritage. The exterior spans approximately 300m², including a sun deck, lounge, barbecue, and a herb garden, offering both privacy and open-air luxury.
Inside, earthy tones, warm textures, and brass accents create a serene and inviting atmosphere. Carefully selected furnishings, from a solid oak dining table and linen sofas to sculptural Bang & Olufsen speakers, contribute to the elegant, understated luxury of the home.
Just 200 metres from the beach and steps from a restaurant serving fresh Adriatic fish, the villa offers easy access to Hvar town, combining vibrant local culture with the tranquil privacy of its hillside setting. It is the perfect retreat for families or couples seeking a Mediterranean escape where tradition meets contemporary design, delivering an unforgettable holiday experience on one of Croatia’s most desirable islands.
The Owner’s Story
"We first came to Hvar in 2017, to Sveta Nedjelja, with Villas Hvar. As we emerged from the dark, narrow tunnel leading from Pitve to the southern side of the island, I turned to my wife and said: there should be a sign here that reads "Welcome to Paradise". In front of us unfolded a vision I will never forget: the deep blue sea, majestic red cliffs carved with green vineyards, the vast sky, sailboats drifting slowly by, and seagulls circling above. Leonard Cohen’s Dance Me to the End of Love was playing softly in the background, and in that moment, we simply fell in love with Hvar.
That was how everything began. Today, in 2026, we are the proud and grateful owners of Villa Vinea, standing on those very same cliffs and vineyards we fell in love with back in 2017.
What makes this villa truly special is its private vineyard, located right next to the house. Every guest becomes part of our story - for three years after their stay, we will send them our "I Miss You" package, including our own wine, honey, and lavender. Guests are also welcome to return each year to join us in the grape harvest celebration. They may also pick seasonal organic produce from the garden, including tomatoes, Swiss chard, peppers, aubergines, herbs, and more. Also, this is a villa of absolute privacy, with no neighbours in sight.
You know, Majda, owner said with a warm smile, concluding his love letter to the house - I feel closer to God here than anywhere else."
