Restaurants

Some fantastic restaurants are within walking and biking distance. The nearest is "Bilin" which serves simple fresh fish and sea food, the service is delightful. Two good restaurants in Sumartin are "Top" and a pizzeria "Vrh Braca" (meaning top of Brac). Furthermore, you will find several fantastic restaurants in Bol. "Ribarska Kucica" serves excellent seafood at reasonable prices. For fine dining head to "Taverna", they also have a good wine list. Approx 30 minutes from the villa you will find "Konoba Kala", situated along a pretty village bay serving good home cooked meals. Further inland, approx 45 min from the villa we would recommend "Konoba Kopacina". Then there is "Puteus Palace" and 50 min away "Lemon Garden", a beautiful hotel in the village of Sutivan, very pretty and worth a trip. There are numerous restaurants further afield, and also on the neighbouring island of Hvar. "Me and Mrs Jones", Jelsa on Hvar island, is situated by the sea and serves great food - walk around the pretty village after your meal. And then there is "PIPO", 30 min by boat and open for lunch and dinner, serving delicious lobster pots and organic vegetables. Take a swim whilst they cook for you. Are you planning to go on a boat trip? Then we would recommend visiting "Langani" on Palmizana - great cocktails, amazing food, funky, a place to be seen, but it comes at a price. If you are looking for a more elegant dining experience, then "Zori" on St Klement island is the place to go to, divine take on Dalmatian food and excellent service.

Motor Boat

Visit the islands of Solta, Hvar, Vis. Boat and skipper can be rented for an additional charge. Please inquire. The licenced skipper is very experienced and knows all the beautiful bays to visit. He can assist with water skiing, dolphin watching, hidden beach front restaurants and wonderful day trips in the area including market and vineyard visits. The boat has a variety of equipment such as banana boat and water-skis for the use of guests.

Beaches

Sumartin ‘Baywatch’ Beach, Brac Island
The beach at Sumartin locally referred to as ‘Baywatch’ beach, is hands down the best beach on Brac Island, maybe even in Croatia. It is only a 10 minute walk from the villa. Although a popular retreat amongst Island locals, it is still relatively unknown to tourists making it a great place to escape and swim and sunbathe the day away. This dream beach has it all; incredible picturesque views of the mainland, crystal clear blue waters and even a sandy bay (which is rare in Croatia). On a typical summer day the beach bar will be open serving refreshing cold drinks whilst the kids can play on the large playground in the sea. Outside the busy months the beach bar and kids play area are usually closed and if you time it right you can pretty much have this stunning beach all to yourself.

Brela Beach, Makarska Riviera
Brela beach is located along Croatia’s southern Dalmatian Coastline at the stretch known as the Makarska Riviera. Extending 6kms in length, the beaches at Brela are renowned for their white shingle coves fringed by shady pine tree. Punta Rata is the most famous part of the beach and is distinguished by a massive rock rising out of the sea just off the coast. 
 

Palmizana Beach, Hvar Island
Palmizana beach on the Pakleni islands is part of a group of stunning islands which form part of the Hvar archipelago.  Hip and chic Palmizana beach is situated within a beautiful bay. The bay is fringed by a pine forest offering much needed shade during sweltering hot summer days. Like most Croatian beaches, it is made from pebbles whilst the sea entrance is relatively sandy. 

Zlatni Rat, Brac Island
Zlatni Rat is regularly listed among the most beautiful beaches in Croatia – and the world. The six hundred metres of spectacular pebble beach (sometimes known as the Golden Cape or Golden Horn) are never exactly the same shape from day to day – currents and wind direction make subtle alterations to its contours. On a bright summer day it feels like paradise. If you’re after a truly special experience, visit during an early spring or late autumn evening and swim in the sea as the sun sets behind you in a stunning pinky-orange haze.
