A private beachfront villa in Štikovica near Dubrovnik, with five en-suite bedrooms, two additional guest apartments, a heated infinity pool, sauna, fitness area, and direct access to the Adriatic Sea.
Villa L'Essenza di Dubrovnik is a modern beachfront villa near Dubrovnik, located above the Adriatic Sea in the peaceful coastal village of Štikovica. Approximately 9 km from Dubrovnik and only a few steps from the sea, the villa accommodates up to 14 guests in five spacious en-suite bedrooms and two additional apartments. A heated infinity pool, private beach access, sauna, fitness area, elevator, and generous sea-facing terraces is an ideal choice for families, groups of friends, and guests traveling with personal staff.
With approximately 700 m² of interior space and around 1,200 m² of indoor and outdoor living areas, the property offers the privacy of a large seaside residence while remaining within easy reach of Dubrovnik and its surrounding region. Its cascading Mediterranean gardens descend towards the sea, creating several private levels for swimming, sunbathing, dining and relaxing outdoors.
This villa for large groups occupies a rare first-row position in Štikovica, with the sea immediately below the property. Stone garden terraces lead down to a beach platform with private access, furnished with sun loungers, where guests can swim and spend the day beside the Adriatic without leaving the villa.
A private berth provides convenient access for boat arrivals and departures when weather and sea conditions permit. This makes it possible to begin a private cruise directly from the property and explore the Elaphiti Islands, including Koločep, Lopud and Šipan. You can also incorporate Dubrovnik Old Town, Mljet, and the Pelješac Peninsula into a private boating itinerary.
The use of the berth and all boat transfers remain subject to suitable maritime and safety conditions and the skipper's final decision.
The heated infinity pool overlooks the sea and forms the center of the villa's outdoor living area. The adjoining terrace provides space for sunbathing, sharing drinks and enjoying uninterrupted views across the Adriatic.
A covered al fresco dining area allows the whole group to eat together outdoors. A separate fireplace and barbecue area can be used for relaxed family lunches or a private chef dinner prepared with fresh local fish and seasonal Dalmatian ingredients.
Floor-to-ceiling glass across the front of the house maintains the connection with the sea throughout the day. From the living room, bedrooms and terraces, the changing light and sunsets become part of the villa experience.
The main part of this beachfront villa spans three levels and combines clean contemporary architecture with natural stone, glass, and carefully selected materials.
Spacious open-plan living area with high ceilings and full-height windows is on the ground floor. It includes a comfortable lounge, indoor dining area and a fully equipped kitchen with extensive preparation and storage space. A marble partition with an integrated fireplace subtly divides the kitchen from the main living area without interrupting the room's flow.
An elevator is especially helpful for luggage, older guests, and visitors with reduced mobility. However, guests requiring fully step-free accommodation should contact us so that we can confirm whether the complete layout meets their individual needs.
Villa L'Essenza di Dubrovnik has five large double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. Two bedrooms are positioned on the first floor and three on the second floor, providing a practical arrangement for extended families or groups of couples.
Several bedrooms open onto a balcony or feature French windows overlooking the sea. The approximately 70 m² master suite is particularly spacious and includes a large bathroom finished in dark marble, with a walk-in shower and freestanding bathtub beside the window.
A separate annex behind the main house contains two additional apartments with kitchenettes. These units offer extra privacy for family members, a nanny, a private chef, security personnel, or other members of the guests' staff.
The complete property can accommodate 10 guests in the five principal bedrooms plus up to 4 additional guests in the two apartments.
Guests can continue their wellness routine without leaving the property. A private Finnish sauna, fitness area, shower, and toilet are located on one of the garden levels, with a window bringing natural light and sea views into the space - this is a really unique wellness and SPA villa. Croatia Finest Holidays can also arrange private personal training, yoga, Pilates, massages and wellness treatments at the villa, subject to availability.
Croatia Finest Holidays can help plan your stay before arrival and provide local support throughout your holiday. Whether you would like a private chef dinner overlooking the sea, a day among the Elaphiti Islands or a guided visit to Dubrovnik, our concierge team can coordinate each service around your group and preferred pace.

Reviews
Everything was spectacular. Here is our feedback in bullet points. * The Villa was superb. It was very clean and looked every bit like the pictures, which is not always the case in Europe. * The appliances are awesome and very modern. * The staff supporting the villa was very helpful with check in and services. They were responsive to questions and needs. * The heated pool, sauna, wine room, and other amenities are great. * Our only minor complaint was that it got hot in the upper floor bedrooms, including the Master, at night and those rooms on the hotter days had trouble cooling down. And, our master shower did not have very hot water; lukewarm at best. I probably should have said something sooner on these two issues, so this just shows you it was a moderate inconvenience; not something terrible.
