Location

Above the heart
of the Adriatic

Villa ZenIt stands on a private hilltop of the Zadar Riviera, high above the Dalmatian coast. The view sweeps across the Pašman Channel to Galešnjak, the famous heart-shaped island, then over the island of Pašman to the open Adriatic, with the Velebit Mountains rising in the distance. The old town of Zadar lies along the water below, and the hilltop is bordered by protected maquis, so the outlook cannot be obstructed.

The Villa

Between the lavender
and the sea.

Villa ZenIt is a newly completed contemporary villa on a private hilltop of the Zadar Riviera, never occupied and set seamlessly into its natural surroundings. Three self-contained residences are arranged over four levels around a central natural stone stair, with 640 square metres of interior living space and 400 square metres of panoramic terraces facing the channel.

The setting offers peace, privacy and a sense of wellness, with a healthy Mediterranean way of living defined by fresh air, natural beauty and a close connection to nature. Mature grounds of date palms, cypresses, fragrant lavender and olive trees surround the house, and a 14 x 5 metre infinity pool runs along the south terrace. The villa is offered unfurnished.

The Pool Terrace

An infinity pool above the channel

A 14 x 5 metre infinity pool anchors the 236 m² main terrace, its edge blending into the panorama of the Adriatic, with a waterfall and a shallow lounging shelf. Beside it, the pool pavilion holds a summer kitchen with bar on one end and a jacuzzi with jets on the other, an exceptional setting for dining al fresco.

The Residences

Six suites over four levels

Six luxurious bedrooms and seven designer bathrooms are arranged over three living levels, with the roof terrace above. Three suites occupy the garden level, two more sit above with their own kitchen-lounge with a 95 m² terrace, and a sixth lies below beside the entertainment lounge. Schüco glass sliding doors with automated security shutters and frameless glass balustrades keep the views uninterrupted. Natural stone stairs climb to the 3rd floor 100 m² roof terrace under a lit pergola.

The Grounds

A walled garden,
laid out in terraces.

A private gated entrance opens onto meticulously kept, mature Mediterranean grounds. Canary Island date palms line the drive, and low white walls step down the hillside holding Italian cypresses, rows of fragrant lavender, an organic vegetable garden and a lush grove of mature olive trees.

A sweeping circular drive encircles the house and leads to a secure indoor garage, with private parking for up to ten cars.

Evenings

Lit for the evening

Architectural lighting traces every terrace, planter and step. The pool's underwater LEDs can be tuned to any colour, and the roof-terrace pergola glows above the house. The villa was planned to be seen at night as much as by day.

Night Swimming

The pool turns sapphire

Underwater lighting holds the pool at a deep sapphire while the waterfall catches the glow of the terrace. The pavilion and its jacuzzi stay lit for late swims, and the stone terraces keep the day's warmth long after sunset.
