When it comes to the ultimate in luxury living, it’s hard to beat the allure of a coastal retreat. And this modernist gem on the cusp of the Adriatic is impossible to beat. White, grey and pine interiors are kept deliberately simple to allow the azure seascape to sing. Slide open the glass doors and spill out onto the pristine terrace to spend all day in the glorious sunshine. Top up your tan on a squashy lounger or find a shady spot to unwind with a good book. If you tire of the pool, skip down to the craggy beach at the bottom of your garden and take the boat out for a spin until it’s time for dinner. Cook up Croatian-inspired dishes and enjoy alfresco or why not hang up your chef’s apron and leave it to the professionals – the excellent laidback restaurants of Vela Luka are less than a fifteen-minute drive away. Home truths: *Free parking is available on the premises *Your host can provide a cot for little ones upon request *A change of bed linen and towels takes place every seven days *This home is spread across two floors with stairs only *Due to the close proximity to the sea, children should be supervised at all times
