Villa Korta Katarina & Winery Awarded MICHELIN Key: A New Standard of Adriatic Luxury

Villa Korta Katarina & Winery has officially been named a MICHELIN Key recipient, placing it among the world’s most exceptional hotels. This prestigious honor from the MICHELIN Guide recognizes properties that deliver extraordinary guest experiences through design, service, and a deep connection to place, and Villa Korta Katarina embodies all three.


Located on Croatia’s breathtaking Adriatic coast, Villa Korta Katarina is a sanctuary of architectural elegance, heartfelt hospitality, and cultural heritage. As a proud member of Relais & Châteaux, the Villa & Winery invites guests into a world of refined intimacy, where every detail, from vineyard rituals to suite narratives, tells a story of legacy and love.


Founded by American philanthropists Lee and Penny Anderson, the property is part of The Korta Katarina Collection, a luxury lifestyle brand born from humanitarian purpose and devotion to the region’s resilience and winemaking traditions. The MICHELIN Key distinction affirms what guests have long known: Villa Korta Katarina is not just a destination—it’s a philosophy.


Whether savoring estate-grown Plavac Mali on the sunlit terrace or discovering the stories woven into each suite and cellar, guests at Villa Korta Katarina & Winery are invited into a world defined by exclusivity, emotion, and timeless beauty. Every moment is a tribute to heritage, craftsmanship, and the art of meaningful hospitality.
