Location
About the surrounding area of Villa KalilahThe coastal village of Orašac is an idyllic Adriatic pearl surrounded by verdant countryside, ancient olive groves and endless views of the shimmering sea. Ideal for an authentic Croatian experience, the village is home to local restaurants serving traditional Dalmatian delicacies, as well as a pretty church dating back to the thirteenth century and a charming harbour where you can hop on a summer boat trip to the nearby islands. Meanwhile, a pebble beach is perfect for enjoying a leisurely afternoon swim in the warm, crystal-clear waters of the ocean. Sun Gardens Dubrovnik is a five-star resort just ten minutes away from Villa Kalilah by car, offering indulgent spa experiences and a range of water sports facilities.
For those who fancy exploring their beautiful surroundings, there is a treasure trove of picturesque villages to discover nearby. Head inland towards the historic settlements of Gromača, Kliševo, and Ljubač to visit local farms and food producers, where you can pick up some fresh goat’s cheese, honey, olive oil and wine to bring home for dinner at Villa Kalilah. Only four kilometres from Orašac lies the village of Trsteno, home to the spectacular Trsteno Arboretum. With stunning coast views, lush greenery and impressive stone sculptures, this Mediterranean paradise, dating back to the fifteenth century, is made for wandering on a sunny afternoon.
Only twenty minutes away from Orašac by car, the ancient, labyrinthine streets of Dubrovnik offer the perfect excuse to spend the day taking in the city’s wonderful cultural landmarks. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Dubrovnik’s medieval old town is home to a magnificent Baroque cathedral, enclosed within imposing fortress walls which offer sweeping views of the city. After enjoying the city’s historic sites and bustling marketplaces, visit a local tavern to sample black squid ink risotto or pašticada, a slow-cooked beef and pasta dish. A sip of rakija, a local brandy made from plums, pomegranate and other fruits, is a tasty way to finish off a leisurely meal in Dubrovnik. Intimate wine tours and olive oil tastings are another great way to get to know the region’s rich gastronomy.
For a different kind of day out, why not visit Mljet National Park, a stunning nature park located on its own green island? An hour-long journey across the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea will take you to the pretty port village of Sobra, where you can rent a bicycle or catch the bus to reach the untouched natural beauty of the national park. Pack a picnic and spend the day here, basking in the sunshine and the unforgettable scenery.
Beyond the lively streets of Dubrovnik, the Adriatic coastline beckons, offering visitors a treasure trove of rugged beaches to explore. Only a ten-minute stroll from the old town, Danče Beach is a scenic cove where locals like to take early-morning swims in the crystalline water. The nearest beach to the city is pebbly and popular Banje, just a few minutes away from Ploče Gate. Meanwhile, the spectacular Elaphiti islands of Koločep, Lopud and Šipan offer secret sandy coves, ideal for sea kayaking adventures.
After another exciting day exploring sun-soaked Dalmatia, make your way home to Villa Kalilah in time for a sunset swim before a relaxing barbecue on the terrace as the stars begin to appear.

Best Suited For: All AgesYounger visitors will be enchanted by Villa Kalilah’s beautiful ocean views, not to mention the villa’s private swimming pool! The Dalmatian coastline offers a treasure trove of natural beauty spots, while only a twenty-minute drive away, the dazzling old town of Dubrovnik lies waiting to be discovered.
With its winding limestone streets and ancient walled fortress, Dubrovnik is a magnificent city for families to explore together. Spend the morning walking the city’s sprawling walls, or for an exciting afternoon in the sun, take a trip in the famous cable car to the panoramic viewpoint at the top of Srd Hill, where you can marvel at the breathtaking sights of the old town and the surrounding islands, as well as the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea. Later on, enjoy a well-earned ice cream in the old town or make your way to the popular shores of Banje Beach, where you can take a refreshing dip in the ocean.
Water babies will love spending sunny days at the beach, where toddlers and younger children can splash in pristine, shallow waters, and teenagers can enjoy a wide range of water sports, including paddleboarding and sea kayaking. Meanwhile, the scenic hills and fragrant pine forests on the outskirts of Dubrovnik offer fantastic, family-friendly hiking and biking trails.
For a day trip to remember, take a boat trip to the magical Elaphiti Islands, where you can enjoy woodland walks or a leisurely afternoon swimming in the crystalline waters of secluded beaches. Some boat tours take in the sights of the stunning island of Koločep, home to the iridescent waters of the famous Blue Cave. Mljet National Park on the island of Mljet is another excellent place to experience the wondrous natural beauty of Dalmatia.
For something a little different, the popular Cadmos Village Adventure Park is a forty-five-minute drive away from Villa Kalilah. This eco-friendly adventure park offers visitors a wide range of family-friendly activities, including guided archery and exhilarating zip-lining experiences in the Croatian sunshine. Later on, make your way home to your peaceful villa in time for a family barbecue before snuggling up for a night of stargazing on the terrace.

Very spacious both inside and out!
Really good quality refurbishment of a 100 year old property with aircon in every bedroom. Very spacious both inside and out; all bedrooms have good dimensions, the lounge / 4th bedroom has a large (comfy for 2 people) bed settee. Large kitchen with a table for 8, loads of space outside with another table for 8 and a large garden sofa. Pool area gives a great view out to sea. Very quiet location in a small village which has a village shop, a bar and a restaurant all within a very short walk. Dubrovnik old town is about 25 mins away by car with a larger supermarket and pharmacy about 10 mins away. Lots of little beaches tucked away within a few minutes drive. 2 parking spaces are allocated to the property. The management company were excellent. Although the property wasn't ready as we arrived in the morning, after we signed the paperwork we went in to Dubrovnik and they rang us as soon as it was available. They gave us the option to meet them back at the office and follow them to the villa or to just meet us there with the keys. They spent 15 mins showing us how everything worked and then came to the property on the last day to check everything was OK. There was a comprehensive folder of help they could provide as well as organised trips but there was no hard sell.
