Forty Years of Dalmatian Heart

The Beginning

“Our story didn’t start with a building; it started with a feeling. In the early 1980s, Petar and Rajna began welcoming travelers to Starigrad-Paklenica. They didn’t just provide a place to sleep—they shared their love for the Adriatic. For thirty years, they listened to their guests and learned exactly what makes a Mediterranean holiday unforgettable.”

A Vision Realized in 2013

“In 2013, we decided to pour three decades of hosting wisdom into a new project. We chose a superior, quiet location just 5 meters from the water’s edge and built Villa Rajna from the ground up. By moving to this prime spot, we were able to design a modern home featuring superior soundproofing, spacious terraces, and eco-friendly solar systems—ensuring our guests enjoy the comfort of today with the hospitality of yesterday.”

Our Family, Your Hosts

“Today, Villa Rajna is a true multi-generational home. While the walls are modern, the welcome is classic. You will still find us greeting you with a glass of homemade rakija or a morning coffee on our private pier. We take pride in the fact that our children and grandchildren are now part of this legacy, ensuring that the warmth you feel today will be here for generations to come.”
