Situated in an exclusive setting near the historic center of Opatija, this luxury contemporary residence stands out with panoramic views of the sea and the town. Unobstructed vistas, a heated pool, and complete privacy within a gated property define its character.
The architecture is distinctly modern, defined by clean structural lines, strong volumes, and a restrained material palette. Large glass surfaces and open planes create a seamless relationship between interior spaces and the surrounding landscape.
The residence unfolds across three levels, with a layout that is both intuitive and deliberate. Each floor has a clear role, the lower level dedicated to retreat and leisure, the ground floor to everyday living, and the upper floor to privacy.
The ground floor is where the house truly lives. An open-plan kitchen, dining area, and living room spanning 96 sqm form a continuous, fluid space. Materials play a central role here, warm herringbone wood floors, exposed concrete ceilings, and precisely crafted built-in elements create a layered interior that feels both contemporary and grounded. Light moves freely throughout the space, while transitions towards the terraces happen naturally, almost without notice.
Upstairs, the private quarters are resolved with restraint and clarity. The master suite, extending over 59 sqm, is conceived as a self-contained environment, generous in scale, yet calm in expression - with its own bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. Framed views of the sea remain a constant presence, reinforcing a sense of openness without sacrificing privacy.
The lower ground floor introduces a different atmosphere. Designed for slower moments, it begins with a wellness area with a sauna, followed by a gym, a wine cellar set within natural stone, a tavern, and a guest room with its own WC. This level feels more intimate, almost retreat-like, offering a contrast to the openness above.
Throughout the interior, the approach remains consistent - open yet structured, minimal yet warm. Large glass surfaces ensure an abundance of natural light, while terraces extend the living space outward in a way that feels logical rather than imposed. Every element is integrated, with no excess and no distraction.
Furnishings are custom-made and deliberately understated, supported by carefully selected lighting that defines the atmosphere without dominating it. The result is a space that does not seek attention, but holds it.
The exterior continues the same logic. Terraces, sun decks, and the heated pool form a natural extension of the interior, positioned to fully capture the open sea views. A fully equipped outdoor summer kitchen with dining area reinforces this connection, allowing the house to function equally well outside as it does inside.
Additional amenities, including a wellness area with sauna, gym, garage, and storage are integrated in a way that supports everyday use rather than presenting themselves as features. Two garage parking spaces and two outdoor parking spaces further contribute to practicality.
The setting itself balances two qualities that are rarely aligned: privacy and proximity. Surrounded by calm and local character, yet within immediate reach of the sea, promenades, and the center of Opatija, the location supports both daily life and occasional retreat.
Taken as a whole, this residence is not defined by a single feature, but by consistency in design, in spatial logic, and in how it is experienced over time.
The total built area is 617 sqm, including 393 sqm of living space, 215 sqm of terraces, 2 garage parking spaces, and a 40 sqm heated outdoor swimming pool.
