The COVID-19 outbreak has swept the world like a hurricane to kick off what was meant to be yet another thrilling year for those of us wanting wanderlust. But while the relentless virus has disrupted many of our summer plans, it can’t stop us from bringing back the indestructible Villa Week.

A more modest edition of our action-packed Croatian adventure awaits this time around, but that doesn’t mean we’ll be having any less fun.

Because the #stayhome message is already deeply-rooted in our everyday lives, we thought we’d make the best of this new normal and show you all the ways you can #stayhome while having the time of your lives on The Villa Week this year. We understand that you might be hesitant to travel this year, and with all of the uncertainty in the air, we get it. However, it’s important to know that we have prepared this year’s program with your health and safety in mind.

While hotels and other accommodations can’t promise your total privacy from other guests, by booking a private villa with your family or friends on The VIlla Week, you won’t run the risk of mixing with anyone else!

The Parties

Whether it’s the welcome party, the farewell party, or the after parties, all affairs are held in the comfort of our villas. Dress up or dress down, let loose or chill hard; no club bouncer will be there to tell you what you can and can’t do. And the best part? Our house parties come with full-flavored feasts and flowing cocktails to keep the fun going into the early morning hours. Your bed is never more than a few footsteps away.

The Food

Speaking of full-flavored feasts, our breakfast buffet isn’t the only meal you’ll get to enjoy while admiring our villa view. While mornings on The Villa Week begin with hot and cold delicacies like local cheeses, smoked meats, chilled fresh fruits and squeezed juices, our barbecue dinner is something you’ll want to write home about. Juicy steaks and Croatian mixed meat favorites are accompanied by heavenly seafood and tasty vegan alternatives for those of you in the group with dietary restrictions. In a nutshell, you’ll never go hungry at home with us.

The Tastings

Because how else would you wash down The Villa Week fare? Not only will our expert sommelier take you on a wine-tasting adventure of some of the best local wineries, but you’ll get to explore the prized gins of the world during a gin tasting party led by the Villa Week cocktail master. If wine and gin aren’t your type, our fully stocked at-home bar offers an incredible selection of booze for your imbibing pleasure.

The Pool

There’s only one foolproof way to ease those sweltering summer days, and you’ll be thanking us later for this bright blue basin once all is said and done. As if you needed another reason to stay home, once you jump in our pool, you may never come out. Though our cushy loungers are the perfect place to swallow the sun’s rays for that glistening tan you’ve always wanted.

The Wellness

Have you ever dreamed of waking up and rolling into a day of wellness? From the coziness of your bed to the comfort of a massage table, our massage therapists are at your service from our sea view terrace to soothe your aching bones with their healing hands. And if you’re the active type that fancies fitness? Get your blood flowing and sweat going with a morning workout in the gym. Exhale the day behind you and inhale the new day ahead – you’ll need to build up the strength to endure another first-class day with us on The Villa Week.

Furthermore, apart from enjoying a variety of activities from the comfort of your villa, all of our active and outdoor experiences on The Villa Week, like mountain climbing, ATVing, paintballing and chasing waterfalls already practice social distancing – and we promise, being out in the Croatian wilderness can only boost your immunity.

So, who’s ready to #stayhome and #socialdistance with us?

What is The Villa Week All About, Anyway?

A Brainchild of Croatia’s Best Bits of Tourism: What is The Villa Week All About, Anyway?

In 2019, so much of our travels are inspired by the social media feeds of our friends, idols, and the ever-so-present Instagram ‘influencer’. Because the activities in our day-to-day lives can be served to the social media world on a golden platter, or really, whatever color platter your mood represents that day, we are inspired more than ever to get after an adventure, jump out of our comfort zone, and do things as daring as the changing images beneath our fingertips.

Even more true in today’s tourism world is that adventures are often reliant on niches – bikers should take cycling trips, yoga teachers should attend yoga retreats, and cruises are best for retirees and families after ease. Unfortunately, this leaves out an enthusiastic group of open-minded voyagers who want to try it all.

So, what if we told you that across one week, you could live the ultimate holiday experience that has just the right dose of dressed-up luxury, action-packed adventure, and plenty of ‘do it for the ‘gram’ worthy opportunities?

Welcome to The Villa Week, where all of your holiday dreams come true.

Now, you might be wondering how this too-good-to-be-true and utopian-esque sabbatical exists, or how anyone dared to take on such a demanding venture in the first place – and we don’t blame you. But the recipe is quite simple. All it took was a group of kooky and like-minded go-getters who wanted to show that their country has so much more to offer than the copy-and-paste tourism that exists today.

And what did they bring forth? A perfectly crafted list of unforgettable experiences that locals and travelers would equally appreciate. A brainchild of the best bits of Croatian tourism that pays careful attention to how it can stimulate you best – from savoring self-care to adrenaline-fueled adventures, top traditional cuisine, and secret locations even the most seasoned locals couldn’t find.

The Villa Week is a 7-day-long retreat of whatever you want it to be.

It is a magical world of freedom with the option to choose what odyssey fits into your plans for the day. It is a fine-tuned and delicately detailed week away where you don’t have to move a limb if you don’t want to.

Imagine not having to think from the moment you step off the airplane to the cheeks you kiss to say goodbye. Or a flawless dinner without frantically collecting money to pay the bill at the end. Imagine getting to keep your wallet locked away at home for an entire week.

Or better yet, visualize having your hangover wishes granted as a masseuse joins you poolside to rub away the pain – and when the headache subsides? A private driver hurries you back to the fun via speed boat or luxury transfer.

You might think you’re dreaming, but this is what we like to call a James Bond holiday without the stress. A 007 getaway where you can expect everything and miss nothing. A world where everything is possible.

The Villa Week is more than a lavish all-inclusive holiday – it is an exclusive and unrivaled experience you’ll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in the world.

But in Croatia, it rests beneath your fingertips, ready to whisk you away to a promised land of wanderlust. And if you’re still not convinced, you can take a peek at our program here.

However, the biggest selling point may not even be the week itself, but the lasting memories, motivation, and inspiration you’ll have to feed your mental bank for a lifetime. The Villa Week will keep your cup of creativity full of beauty, bravery, and bliss. The adventure will power the machine that drives your revitalized spirit; an adrenaline rush no drug can buy.

The Villa Week is an approach to what a ‘holiday’ was envisioned as at its discovery. And now, you have the chance to unearth the best bits of Croatia, and uncover the best parts of you in the process.

Brace yourselves, The Villa Week is here to blow your mind.
