Fumija Resort, Čiovo, Croatia

The island Čiovo near Split is typical for the more than 1,000 islands in front of the Croatian coastline. Gently rising from the sea it offers a fantastic location for a luxurous resort. To preserve the great quality of the landcape and to relate the project to the local culture, the villas are designed as a spatial cut within the landscape.

This setting makes optimal use of the great view and sun orientation, but also defines the villa into a rural and modest presence in the landscape. By using local craftmanship and materials a spectacular free-span space is realized, under which exterior and interior blend together.

Fumija Resort is a planned tourist resort on the Mediterranean south coast of Čiovo, which will include 70 villas concept designed by famed architect Robert Dallas in the style of the ancient Mediterranean, “club style hotel”, 5 star restaurant, marina and other related amenities. Future phasing will include two 18 hole and one 9 hole golf courses over the Slatina, on the east side of Čiovo. This is an amazing location at the top of the island with the sea being visible from both side of Čiovo…..further showcasing the unbeatable attraction and appeal of the Adriatic coastline. Construction commencement is anticipated for late 2012 or early 2013.
