Overview
A fairy-tale home in paradise, Villa Gojka has to be seen to be believed – tucked right on the waterfront of the sparkling turquoise Adriatic on the island of Korčula in a rich, verdant forest!
Gaze out from each room in this sublime villa and catch a glimpse of the shimmering sea, or else the vibrant forest just across the little stretch of water beyond the garden. The interiors are as rich and dazzling as the surroundings, with neutral tones and natural textures throughout, including wooden ceilings and furniture. The kitchen encapsulates this perfectly, with a central wooden island which doubles as a breakfast bar with four elegant stools. There are plenty of sofas all centred around a sublime fireplace, and a large dining table for enjoying the delicacies prepared in this magnificent kitchen. A large set of glass doors lead you out onto a brilliant terrace.
Out on this first-floor terrace, elegant white balustrades encase a beautiful scene, with sophisticated alfresco dining, superb casual seating and a plush sofa pod for swinging in the soft sea-breeze. You’ll also find a cinema room and a gym in the villa should you want to truly switch off and unwind, or take your energy levels to the next step and build up a sweat during an invigorating workout!
Choose from four fantastic bedrooms to settle in and catch a few Z’s, with a majestic set of elaborate king-size beds, unique bedside tables and desks, all incorporating this same fusion of wood, white and neutral tones. The style is truly breathtaking, with enormous amounts of space, extraordinary attention to detail and unbelievably beautiful décor. Each has a set of glass doors providing epic views of the landscape as well as garden access in two of them. Four bathrooms accompany the bedrooms, featuring a decadent array of double vanity sinks, oversized bathtubs and walk-in showers.
This sublime villa maximises guests’ enjoyment of the great outdoors, with all kinds of seating, swimming, dining and relaxation options distributed throughout its immense garden. Firstly, your pool deck is marvellous: a rich wooden decking surrounding the heated infinity pool, with loungers all around it for putting your feet up and soaking up a little vitamin D! Towards the water there’s a second dining table for eight, right in the sunshine, and further still, there’s a huge semi-circle sofa for the whole group to gather for some quality time!
Head down from the garden, and you’ll be immediately met by a quaint jetty which can receive boats up to 10 meters long, as well as a wonderful beach. Korčula is the sixth largest island in Croatia, at 20 miles long and between 4 and 5 miles wide on average, and is known for its medieval palaces and churches, dense forest, quiet coves, small stretches of sandy beaches, vineyards and olive groves!

Region
Korčula (pronounced kor-chu-la) is a beautiful island nestled in the tranquil blue waters of the Adriatic Sea, known for its pristine beaches, rich history, and impressive architecture. Located in the southern region of Croatia, just off the Dalmatian Coast, this enchanting island offers a blend of culture, nature, and a laid-back Mediterranean lifestyle that has continued to entice travellers from
around the world for centuries.
The main town on the island, Korčula Town, is a well-preserved medieval marvel, complete with cobblestone streets laid out in a unique fishbone structure that has to be seen. Just like a mini Dubrovnik, the narrow streets dotted with terracotta-tiled houses are perfect to explore on foot. The town is home to beautiful churches and palaces, including the St. Mark's Cathedral. A stunning example of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, the cathedral's façade is adorned with intricate sculptures and a magnificent rose window, showcasing the island's historical and artistic significance.
Korčula has a well-earned reputation for being the wine island, and while there’s local wines to be found across Croatia, Korčula has some outstanding varieties that are hard to find anywhere else. A wine tour is a fantastic way to visit the vineyards, and if you’re feeling particularly active then we recommend trying it on two wheels! A cycling wine tour which is a wonderful way to see the island’s landscape.
If you’re an adventure seeker, Korčula offers numerous outdoor activities. As mentioned, the island's diverse landscape is perfect for cycling, along with well-marked trails that take you through lush forests, rolling hills, and charming villages, which are great for a hike. Water sports enthusiasts can try their hand at kayaking the numerous sheltered bays, a spot of sailing in the crystal-clear
waters of the Adriatic. Additionally, the island's underwater world is a paradise for divers and snorkelers, with vibrant marine life and shipwrecks waiting to be explored.
For some traditional entertainment, Korčula is the best place in Croatia to catch a performance of the Moreška sword dance. A captivating display of choreographed battle scenes, this dance has been a part of the island's cultural heritage for centuries and continues to be performed during the summer months, providing an authentic experience for tourists. A seat in the front row is not for the faint-hearted!
Korčula's strategic position in the Adriatic makes it an ideal starting point for exploring other Croatian islands. A short ferry ride can take you to neighbouring islands such as Hvar, Brac, and Mljet, each with a unique charm. An island-hopping adventure allows you to witness the diversity of the Dalmatian archipelago.
Korčula is easily accessible by ferry from the Croatian mainland, and with its small size and well maintained infrastructure, getting around the island is a breeze.
Korčula is a mesmerising destination that captures the essence of the Mediterranean. Whether you're drawn to the historical, cultural, or natural aspects of the island, a trip to Korčula is sure to leave a lasting impression and unforgettable memories.
