If Emperor Diocletian, after his grand reign, could time-travel to the present day, where would he choose to relax and indulge? We bet he’d head straight to Villa Diocletian’s Palace on the island of Brač. This stunning villa isn’t just a vacation spot—it’s a royal retreat designed to make you feel like you’ve stepped into another era, with all the comforts of the 21st century.

A Palace by the Sea
The magic of Villa Diocletian’s Palace begins the moment you arrive. Built from the same iconic white Brač stone that crafted Diocletian’s Palace in Split and even the White House, this villa carries a rich legacy within its walls.
The villa can comfortably host up to 14 guests in seven luxurious rooms, each designed to make you feel like the royalty you are (or at least like the royalty you deserve to be!). With en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and plush amenities, these rooms are more than just places to sleep—they’re your personal retreat after a day of living your best Mediterranean life.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare delicious meals, making it easy to enjoy home-cooked dining. The heart of the villa is the stunning living and dining area, where a glass roof lets in natural light, creating an open and airy feel. The space is elegantly decorated with royal blue furniture, dark wood details, and a piano, giving it a sophisticated yet cozy atmosphere. A small indoor garden adds a unique and tranquil touch to this area.
Unwind Like an Emperor
At Villa Diocletian’s Palace, relaxation isn’t just a luxury—it’s a way of life. Picture yourself soaking in one of the villa’s two jacuzzis, or sweating out your worries in one of the two saunas. Whether you’re here to relax or recharge, the villa’s wellness facilities are designed to help you do just that. And for those who like to keep active, there’s a private exercise room equipped with everything you need to stay fit, even on holiday.
Embrace the Mediterranean Lifestyle
The beauty of Villa Diocletian’s Palace isn’t confined to its interior. Step outside, and you’ll find a world of relaxation waiting for you. The outdoor area is a Mediterranean dream come true, with a heated pool that practically begs you to take a dip. Sun loungers are strategically placed to maximize your enjoyment of the Croatian sun, and the beachfront location means you’re never more than a few steps away from the cool, refreshing waters of the Adriatic.
Al fresco dining is the order of the day here, with an outdoor kitchen and grill ready for you to whip up a feast. Whether you’re enjoying a laid-back lunch or a more formal dinner, the fresh sea air and stunning sunset views make every meal feel like a special occasion.
Explore the Charms of Brač
As tempting as it is to spend your entire stay lounging in luxury, the island of Brač has its own charm that’s worth exploring. The villa’s prime location in Supetar means you’re just a short walk from the town’s vibrant center, where you can explore local shops, sip coffee at a seaside café, or savor authentic Croatian cuisine at a nearby restaurant.
For those with a spirit of adventure, Brač offers plenty of opportunities to explore. From the famous Zlatni Rat beach to the rugged, stone-carved landscapes of Pučišća, the island is a treasure trove of natural beauty and cultural history. Take a scenic drive, go for a hike, or simply wander through the island’s charming villages—there’s always something new to discover.
