About this property
Ideally positioned between the historic city of Split and the charming coastal town of Omiš, Villa Esse is an elegant four-bedroom retreat in Podstrana, accommodating up to eight guests. Contemporary and filled with natural light, the villa spans three levels and features a private pool with hydro massage, a sun deck with loungers, and a covered outdoor dining area with a traditional barbecue and TV – ideal for long, relaxed evenings.
Inside, the open-plan living and dining space opens onto the terrace via floor-to-ceiling glass doors, accompanied by a fully equipped modern kitchen with a wine cooler, Nespresso machine, and the usual essentials. One en-suite bedroom sits on the ground floor, while three more are found upstairs – two which open onto private sea view terraces – and each with walk-in wardrobes, TVs, and en-suite showers.
The lower ground floor is designed for wellness, comprising a gym with cardio and weights equipment, a punching bag and yoga ball, as well as a Finnish sauna, and a TV for added comfort. Air-conditioned throughout and fully enclosed with surveillance, the villa also includes private parking and a garage.
Villa Esse’s location allows easy access to beaches, local restaurants, and the cultural highlights of both Split and Omiš.
Villa Esse is set on a hillside location in Podstrana, just two hundred and fifty metres from the beach, shops, and local restaurants. Ideally placed between Split and Omiš, it offers easy access to both relaxed coastal charm and lively cultural attractions.
Guests can enjoy traditional Dalmatian cuisine at nearby tavernas, featuring fresh seafood, peka, pasticada, and local cheeses. In Split, visit the unesco-listed Diocletian’s Palace, St Domnius Cathedral, or unwind on Bacvice Beach. Omiš offers more adventurous pursuits, including ziplining, rafting on the Cetina River, and hiking through dramatic mountain scenery.
For day trips, Trogir’s medieval old town is a cultural gem, while Krka National Park offers striking waterfalls, scenic nature trails and river swims.
Whether you’re exploring ancient cities, indulging in regional specialities, or enjoying outdoor adventures, Villa Esse’s location provides the perfect base for discovering the best of the Dalmatian coast.

We had an amazing stay and were very comfortable in Villa Esse. It’s about 5 minutes away from the beach by foot. From the Villa you have a perfect view that allows you to take in the spectacular sunsets. The pool is very relaxing and perfect for a chill day. In September just a little bit to cold. The house was very clean. Our host did a great job, she was always there for us.

We enjoyed a great vacation at this beautiful and modern house. The owners are very kind and we were able to contact them via WhatsApp at ever time. The pool is beautiful, the fire place is perfect for BBQ and the kitchen is equipped with the most important things. Every room has an air condition and own bathroom. The beach and a very small supermarket is just a 5 minute walk away. If you stay at the villa you should ask the agency for the contact to the Chef Martin Nane Grubiša. He came to our house and served us a perfect dinner. We also went to his place at the beach for one more dinner.

We had a lovely stay at the Villa Esse. The house is very big with a lot of space, and a very nice and luxury interior, inside it was probably the best house we have ever been in. Also outside you've got a very nice pool and enough space. For having dinner outside, the fireplace is maybe too hot in Summer, we only had breakfast there. The way to the closest beach is only 5min by foot. The owners are very kind and care for everything you need, they even filled the refrigerator before we arrived late in the evening. Recommend!!!
