Where the ancient olive grove meets architectural prestige
About Villa Nai 3.3
An island retreat where olive groves meet open Adriatic sky.
Villa Nai 3.3 sits on Dugi Otok, Croatia’s longest northern Dalmatian island, surrounded by a 500-year-old olive grove and flanked by the open Adriatic. Eight rooms and suites occupy a single stone structure designed to follow the contours of the hillside. The olive grove, the oil, the sea, and the kitchen are all one continuous thing here.
