Contessa Luxury Retreat

Set on the rocky shores of Lošinj, Contessa Luxury Retreat offers an unforgettable Croatian villa experience. Taking its name from the legendary 1906 sailing ship Contessa Hilda, the villa expertly blends historical influence with modern luxury.

Spanning 2,000 square metres of private land, the villa sits just steps from the turquoise water and is surrounded by lavender and old-growth pines. Expansive lawns dotted with lounge seating and swinging hammocks lead directly down to the shoreline.

The villa is a masterpiece of contemporary Mediterranean architecture. A heated infinity pool merges seamlessly with the horizon, offering an idyllic place to soak up the views. Wooden decking surrounds the pool, complete with sun loungers and outdoor lounge and dining spaces.

On the top floor, a dedicated wellness area offers more space for relaxation. It features a fully equipped gym, and a panoramic roof terrace with a bubbling jacuzzi, a Finnish sauna, and space for indulgent, in-villa massages.

Spanning over 450 square metres, the villa’s interior design prioritises light and sea views. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame the turquoise waters of the private bay, while organic stone and wood complement the surrounding environment. The main lounge features plush seating and a cosy fireplace corner. The adjoining dining room is perfect for elegant meals prepared in the state-of-the-art kitchen.

On the lower-ground floor, the villa features an entertainment space with panoramic sea views. Here, guests can enjoy a game of pool, have a drink at the bar, or simply lounge on the sofas. The adjoining private cinema with plush seating under a “star-studded” ceiling is perfect for evening screenings.

During their stay, guests receive exceptional service from a dedicated team, which includes a villa manager, private chef, butler, and housekeeping staff, ensuring every need is met. Moreover, the property offers access to a host of fun games and activities for younger guests. From laser tag and a PlayStation to art classes, cooking classes, and treasure hunts, there is something for all ages and interests.

The retreat comfortably accommodates up to eight adults and four children. Three first-floor suites each offer king-size beds with 600-thread-count linens, luxurious en-suite bathrooms, and private balconies. Each suite is named after a local luminary and features bespoke art, creating a unique private sanctuary. A ground-floor annex, which can be converted from staff quarters to a fourth guest suite, is perfect for those seeking extra privacy. It offers twin beds, a kitchenette, an en-suite shower room, and a tranquil terrace. The final bedroom is an imaginative kids’ dormitory near the entertainment space. The dorm is a children’s paradise with four kids’ beds, a Mickey Mouse-themed bathroom, and games and activities, from table football and a PlayStation to a climbing wall.

With its waterfront location and top amenities, Contessa Luxury Retreat offers the ultimate Mediterranean villa experience.
