Location
About the surrounding area of Villa LuxanaYour villa is located on Korcula Island, an area of the world considered to be one of the top travel destinations. That’s quite a tall order. The island itself is an interesting combination of dramatic nature, including striking beaches, dense forests and beautiful islands but also a hotbed of rich cultural heritage. Korcula town is where you’ll find medieval squares, churches, palaces and the birthplace of Marco Polo.
You must sample the special wines of the area – this is one of the best vine regions in Croatia alongside the Peljesac peninsula as a whole. The old town is peppered with Michelin dining should you wish to pamper yourself and your party.
As a brand-new designer abode, built directly by the sea on the south side of Korcula Island, this villa offers phenomenal views of the Adriatic Sea – you can see Lastovo Island in the distance.
This property is ideal for those who wish to feel ensconced in nature. You’re surrounded by various hiking and cycling paths. Anyone who is familiar with Croatia will know that there is a wealth of wonders to explore by water. You can take a stand up paddle board and snorkel and explore what lies beneath the many islands around you. There’s also the opportunity to do something wonderfully daring; you can scuba dive and become a certified diver. Above the waves, you might like to ride a jet ski or take a boat out with the skipper – this can be booked on demand, so make sure you make sure of it.
If you’re longing for a day trip, and why wouldn’t you be, when there is so much to see in Croatia, you can take a day trip to many wonderful islands including Lastovo, Mljet, Vis and Hvar.
Let’s start with Lastovo. This is one of the most remote inhabited islands in the Adriatic Sea. If you want to feel like an explorer, you will certainly feel like you’ve stumbled across something unique and new here as if you’ve turned back the hands of time. Lastovo itself lays across a series of steep banks over a natural amphitheatre which overlooks fertile field land which faces away from the sea. This makes it quite different from many of its island neighbours, who make the sea the central point.
Lastovo is a forested island – about 60% of it is covered. For wildlife lovers, you may see nests of falcons and hawks who patrol the area seeking food. If you want to snorkel, this is a great place to do so. This is one of the best spots for underwater sight-seeing. You might observe lobsters, crayfish, octopus, John Dory and Groupers.
Now on to Mljet, truly a fantastic paradise. Here you’ll find a national park, the splendid Soline Bay and a vast sea belt. Seeking nature? Mljet will transfix you.
Vis is a gorgeous beauty with nature that will astonish. It’s also home to Vis Town, where you can see the remains of the old city walls and public bath. The archaeological museum here is a great find for those interested in exploring the history of Roman artefacts.
Finally, Hvar is known as the life and soul, being both a port and resort town. In summer, you simply must see the yachts filling its harbour. You’ll also find pristine secluded beaches, intriguing rocky coves and lush pine forests. If you’re seeking some raucous nightlife or a drink or two at a bar, seek out Hula Beach – it’s lively and full of fun.

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.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesCroatia is a haven for families who are looking to enjoy a quieter pace of life in a beautiful and safe part of the world. You’ll want to supervise children at your villa, especially owing to the dramatic route to the sea below you. Younger children in particular should be watched closely and you’ll want to consider any accessibility needs you or your family may have.
On the island, there’s a great deal to do. There’s astonishing nature here and you can spend plenty of time at the beach, in the sea, exploring verdant forests and delving into Korcula town for tasty food, festive medieval squares, picturesque churches and lovely palaces. There are an assortment of wonderful Michelin restaurants here if you’d like to treat your family to something special.
You may want to take your paddle board and get on the water, or grab a bike and explore the many cycling routes around. The selling point really is the water, so water babies are welcome. You might decide to scuba dive as a family, take a jet ski or take out a boat with a skipper so that you can explore the rich islands surrounding you.
There’s a huge number of choices, including Lastovo, which you can see from your property. It’s one of the more remote islands, and will make you feel like you’re exploring it for the first time. This is the green island of the area – about 60% of it is forested. You may stumble across falcons and hawks who use the island as their hunting ground. Bring your snorkels – this is one of the most incredible spots for observing diverse aquatic life including lobsters and crayfish.
Take the kids to the island of Mljet, known for its natural splendour. Its national park, which includes the gorgeous Soline Bay, is a must-see. From Vis Island, you can explore the town which contains remnants of the cities past and take in some history.
Hvar is a great option if you want some lively excursions. As both a port and resort town, there are many restaurants, bars and plenty of night-life too. But there’s also gorgeous quiet beaches if you want to read a book whilst the kids swim, and gorgeous pine forests to explore.
With so many islands dotted nearby, the adventures you can have as a family are endless.

Owner Profile
Property owners: Sanja Huterer
How long have you owned the property? We bought the plot in 2007 . The
construction started in 2019. The villa was completed in 2022.
What was it about the property that you first fell in love with? The Dalmatian coastwas always in our hearts and for years we sailed the Adriatic Sea and enjoyed the islands. but we also wanted to find a place where we could build our dream house. After five years of looking for the right place, we were lucky to find one on the island Korcula. We disembarked on the jetty in front of the plot and climbed up the stairs winding between the terraced gardens with olive and lemon trees. We looked back at the sea and a stunning view of the Lastovo island appeared. We immediately knew this is our peace of paradise.
Are there any interesting stories in its history? During our first visit, the previous
owners were enjoying a summer Sunday afternoon on the plot. When we arrived, they sent their teenage children to get us something to eat. Minutes later they came back with two octopuses freshly caught in the sea only meters away from us. This definitely sealed the deal as we realised to live here is never to go hungry. Although we never caught an octopus, we do enjoy olive oil produced from the olives in our gardens.
Do you have a favourite room in the property? The villa is a family project of
Stolle, Sanja and our son Andrej and daughter Rea. When asked about the favorite room in the property Rea would immediately say it is the lounge on the first floor as it has a beautiful view and offers a private retreat for reading and relaxing, Andrej would say it is the kitchen, as the commanding position of the kitchen island with gorgeous sea view inspires him to create delicious meals. As for Sanja and Stole, they are simply happy wherever they are in or around the villa.
For anyone coming to stay is there anything in the surrounding area they should...
Really do? Relax, swim, enjoy the water sports, snorkel underwater scenery, sail to
nearby islands, go on hiking or bike trails walk through the vineyards and combine it
with vine tasting.
Really eat? For those who like fish just ask for the fresh fish of the day, tuna carpaccio is delicious as are grilled deep-water fish, sea bass or red fish. Octopus salad and excellent caviar from sea urchin are also our favourites.
For meat preference try lamb chops from local family farms or other slow food meat
specialities prepared under the bell (peka).
Really see? Picturesque inland villages and the beautiful historic Korcula town. A drive along the Korcula to Vela Luka Road is a nice experience in itself as you get amazing views of both sides of the Korcula and all neighbouring islands – Mljet, Lastovo, Susac and Hvar.
What insider tip would you pass on about the property or the area? The design of this house is our vision of dream seaside house emphasizing the beauty of the nature. Huge open space, atrium and glass walls provide a wonderful sea view from every corner of the house giving you the feeling of freedom and pure hedonism. We are now offering to share this experience with our guests..
