Villa Arija – Holiday Apartment in Brela, Croatia

Discover the pearl of the Adriatic

Welcome to Brela

Villa Arija is located in Brela, one of the most beautiful places on the Adriatic, 120 metres from the sea in Stomarica Bay. Your hosts welcome you warmly in a pleasant Mediterranean climate, in the shade of a dense pine forest, close to one of the finest beaches on the Adriatic, Punta Rata.

The villa sits on top of a gentle hill with views of the sea to the south and Biokovo mountain to the north. This position brings a fresh breeze (the maestral) by day and mountain air at night – the perfect escape from the summer heat.

Just 120 metres of easy walking through fragrant pine forest to the crystal-clear sea.

Natural freshness

A refreshing maestral by day and a gentle mountain breeze from Biokovo for a peaceful night's sleep.
