Your home by the sea
Green Sea Villa
Wild Orange
A sun kissed villa near the beach, where golden light fills open spaces and the calm sea invites you to swim. The old stone mill is now a bright yoga shala made for movement and stillness. Our beachfront villa near beautiful Dubrovnik provides escape with turquoise sea views, refreshing air, and a variety of sea activities. In the old days, this beach was called Alexandria because it shone in the sunlight until late evening. This timeless charm makes it the perfect place to explore, discover, and immerse yourself in unforgettable experiences.
