Gin & Lemon Juice

This contemporary home in Marina is angular and striking, with huge terraces making the most of its stunning sea views. Just metres from the water, it's set in a peaceful fishing village just a ten-minute drive from Trogir. And with everything on your doorstep, including cafes and restaurants within walking distance, it's a great choice for a family break.

The outdoor space is the big talking point here, with a wraparound garden and terrace where you'll find a private pool with uninterrupted views of the bay and different sections allowing for an outdoor lounge area, a stone-built barbecue corner and a children's play area. Meanwhile, the bedrooms above get even better views thanks to impressive balconies.

The style here, as you might expect, is modern and glossy, with tiled floors, clean lines and a huge glass and marble staircase through the centre of the villa. An open-plan layout of the living space keeps it all sociable and we love the statement lighting in particular. But this home also has a hidden treasure or two. Head down to the basement and you're met not only with a luxury home gym, but also a sauna and shower room – perfect for freshening up after a workout.
