Villa Iva – Your Perfect Holiday Retreat in the Heart of Dalmatia
Welcome to Villa Iva, a charming holiday home set on a LARGE and SPACIOUS 4,500 m² estate, surrounded by nature and the peaceful countryside of Central Dalmatia.
Located in the village of Grubine, just 5 km from the picturesque town of Imotski, famous for its natural wonders – the Blue and Red Lakes – this is an ideal destination for those seeking both relaxation and adventure.
Next to the main house, there is a smaller building visible in the photos – this is an additional facility used exclusively by guests. It is uninhabited and not used by the owners.
The villa consists of two separate, fully equipped and modern apartments:
Ground floor: three bedrooms, living room, kitchen, bathroom, separate toilet, and a covered veranda.
Top floor: two bedrooms, living room, kitchen, bathroom, and a large terrace with breathtaking views of Imotski. (Note: the lowest ceiling height in the living room upstairs is 200 cm.)
The two units are connected by an external staircase, making Villa Iva perfect for large families or two groups of friends who want both togetherness and privacy.
On the south side of the house, you’ll find:
- a large swimming pool
- barbecue area
- children’s playground
- game room with billiards, darts, and table football
Ideal Location
Villa Iva offers the perfect base for exploring Dalmatia:
> Makarska Riviera – just 15 minutes away through the St. Ilija tunnel beneath the majestic Biokovo mountain
> Imotski – 5 minutes away
> Split, Trogir, Međugorje, Mostar – approx. 1 hour drive
> Dubrovnik, Šibenik, Zadar – approx. 2 hours drive
Discover the Natural Wonders of Imotski
Just a short drive from the villa lies Imotski, a hilltop town full of character and natural beauty. It is home to two of Croatia’s most fascinating natural phenomena:
Blue Lake – a seasonal lake up to 147 meters deep, which completely dries up in summer, turning into a unique football pitch at its bottom. It becomes a natural swimming spot, hiking trail, and local gathering place, depending on the season.
Red Lake – one of the deepest sinkholes in the world, with dramatic cliffs and a mysterious history. Formed by the collapse of underground caves, this lake reaches depths of over 300 meters and is surrounded by steep red rocks that give it its name.
Both lakes are true geological wonders and perfect for hiking, sightseeing, and photography.
