Opatija Centre – Rare Garden Residence In A Historic Villa, 100 M From The Sea

Opatija centre – rare two-level garden residence in a historic villa, 100 m from the sea

A private Mediterranean residence with a timeless story

Just 100 metres from the sea, in the very centre of Opatija, this exceptional residence is set within Villa Emma – a historic villa built in 1889 as a symbol of elegance, devotion and refined coastal living.

Originally created for a noble family and later home to distinguished guests and European aristocracy, the villa remains a rare expression of Opatija’s golden era — today offering a unique opportunity to shape its next chapter.

A garden oasis in the heart of the city

At the heart of this residence lies something truly exceptional:
a private garden in the very centre of Opatija.

With approximately 136 m² of exclusive outdoor space, the residence opens into a tranquil Mediterranean setting of palm trees, greenery and shaded terraces — a natural extension of the living space.

Morning light, sea air and complete privacy create an atmosphere rarely found in such a central location.

Two private parking spaces further enhance everyday comfort — an exceptional advantage in Opatija’s centre.

The elegance of space and ownership

• approx. 205 m² total area
• approx. 191 m² usable interior space
• residence arranged over ground floor and 1st floor
• multiple bedrooms, living areas and bathrooms
• independent private entrance
• only two residences within the villa
• approx. 62% ownership share

The proportions, layout and ownership structure create a living experience that feels entirely private — closer to a standalone villa than a traditional apartment.

A canvas for a truly exceptional home

While the residence is fully functional in its current state, its true value lies in its transformation potential.

This is a rare opportunity to create a bespoke residence that blends historic architecture with contemporary design — a home defined by personal vision in one of the most desirable locations on the Adriatic.

A rare opportunity – the entire villa

Villa Emma consists of only two residences, each with separate ownership. Both are currently available for purchase.

This presents a highly exclusive opportunity to acquire the entire historic villa in the centre of Opatija — a rarity in this location and segment, offering full privacy, control and long-term value.

Opatija – present and future

Located just steps from Slatina Beach and the Lungomare promenade, the villa is positioned in Opatija’s most prestigious historic area.

At the same time, the surrounding area is undergoing a visionary transformation — including the redevelopment of Slatina into a vibrant pedestrian zone with parks, cultural spaces and premium amenities.

This evolution will further elevate the value of properties in this micro-location, placing the residence at the very centre of Opatija’s future.
