Villa Vale
in Brač, Croatia

Nestled on the island of Brač, Vale Estates is a private estate comprising two beautifully designed residences that can be enjoyed independently or together as one exclusive retreat. The Beachfront Vale Residence, set directly on the Adriatic shoreline, accommodates up to eight guests, while the peaceful Vale Garden House, nestled among centuries-old olive groves just five minutes away, welcomes a further two guests. Together, they create a unique setting where life unfolds between the sea and the countryside, shaped by privacy, space, and a natural sense of ease.

Created as a deeply personal family project, Vale Estates began as a place for quiet moments, meaningful gatherings, and time spent immersed in nature. Over time, it became clear that what had been created was more than a home. It was a way of living, simple, intentional, and deeply connected to the island. Today, it is shared with a select number of guests, not simply as a villa rental, but as an experience to be lived. Traditional Dalmatian architecture blends effortlessly with contemporary interiors, creating elegant spaces that feel refined, welcoming, and timeless. Here, nothing interrupts your sense of ease. Wellbeing comes naturally, and each day unfolds at its own pace, guided by light, open spaces, and a slower rhythm of island life.

One of the estate’s defining experiences is the opportunity to discover Brač from the sea. Included in every stay is a private Saxdor 320 GTO with a dedicated skipper, allowing guests to explore the spectacular Adriatic coastline with complete freedom. Spend the day island hopping between nearby islands, anchoring in hidden coves for a swim, discovering secluded beaches accessible only by boat, or simply enjoying lunch on the water before returning home at sunset. Whether for a few hours or an entire day, time spent at sea becomes a natural extension of life at Vale Estates.

Every detail has been carefully considered to create an effortless lifestyle centred on comfort, privacy, and authentic hospitality. Mornings begin outdoors overlooking the sea or among the olive groves, afternoons unfold between the swimming pools, gardens, and wellness spaces, while evenings naturally gather around beautifully set tables beneath the stars. Supported by a dedicated concierge and bespoke services tailored to every stay, Vale Estates offers an intimate and highly personalised retreat where families and friends can reconnect with nature, with one another, and with the timeless beauty of the Croatian islands.

A note from Oli:

I have to say, Vale Estates has all the ingredients of a truly exceptional property. Positioning it as “an experience to be lived, rather than simply a villa to rent” is exactly the right approach. It sits very comfortably alongside the calibre of homes you represent.

I also think there are a few unique selling points worth highlighting consistently across your website and proposals:

• The only estate of its kind on Brač offering both a beachfront residence and a private olive grove retreat.
• Private Saxdor 320 GTO with skipper included, which is a significant value-add that many competitors charge extra for.
• Two distinct lifestyles in one stay, alternating between the sea and the countryside.
• Wellness-focused living, with outdoor gym, sauna, gardens, and a slower rhythm of island life.
• Designed for gathering, making it ideal for extended families, celebrations, or small retreats.
