Villa Anabel

INSIDE

Accommodation at Villa Anabel is laid out over two floors.

The main entrance leads into a spacious, beautifully finished open-plan living area. This central hub of the villa is a perfect representation of the property’s aesthetics and sets the tone for the rest of the house. Sets of giant, floor-to-ceiling glass doors open out onto the main terrace and bring in the fabulous views of the Adriatic Sea and the Pakleni Islands; pale stone floors and pristine white walls and ceilings accentuate the serene luminosity; and light simply floods in from all angles.

The sitting area features two commodious leather sofas and a TV, while to the right is a hardwood dining table and eight leather dining chairs. The dining table connects with the kitchen’s central island and complements the kitchen’s bespoke upper wooden cabinetry. The kitchen is superbly equipped with a fridge freezer, oven, microwave, coffee machine, ice machine, and its central island with electrical hobs. Another set of sliding glass doors leads out from here to the extensive pool terrace and allows for gentle breezes to run through the ground floor.

In the centre of the living area, a central staircase leads up to the first floor, which is home to the four sea-facing bedrooms. This upper floor has an elegant symmetry about it, with two bedrooms on either side of the luminous hallway.

Anabel’s bedrooms are all spacious sea-view suites with super king-sized beds, ensuite bathrooms with showers, and three of the four have sliding glass doors to access private, wonderfully panoramic balconies surveying the sparkling waters of the Adriatic below. The master bedroom on the eastern edge of the house also features a huge walk-in closet.

OUTSIDE

The panoramic terrace wraps around the sea-facing front of Villa Anabel. The views of the Adriatic and the Pakleni Islands beyond are simply intoxicating – and we can guarantee that this is where you will spend much of your time at Villa Anabel. The terrace is accessed from either of the two sets of glass doors of the living area, or via the third set of glass doors by the kitchen. The terrace has four distinct areas: a shady sea-view dining area; a superb al fresco kitchen equipped with barbecue, sink and wine fridge; a sun-drenched solarium; and a fabulous 65 metre square infinity pool and in-ground hot tub with views out to sea. The restaurants of Hvar Town are close by, but with Anabel’s setting and its beguiling views, you may opt to stay in most nights.

Finally, Anabel has another pair of aces up her sleeves. Behind the al fresco kitchen, you will find the large Finnish sauna for up to 8 people, the perfect spot for a moment of relaxation after a training session in the well-equipped private gym.

For many guests, an important feature of Villa Anabel to understand is its beach access. The famous Bonj Beach is positioned almost directly below Villa Anabel, approximately 300m or a 5 minute downhill walk away.
