Villa Dubrovnik
Contemporary and light-filled, with sweeping views of the Adriatic lapping at the rocky shore, this modern hotel is built into the cliffside just a little along the coast from the honey-hued walls of Dubrovnik. It is home to newly-refurbished accommodation with sun-kissed terraces, the heavenly Villa Spa, alfresco dining, and a romantic rooftop bar.
Secluded in a sea-view world of its own, the hotel feels pleasantly sheltered from the bustle of town while still close to key attractions and activities. Floor-to-ceiling sliding windows flood the 55 spacious rooms and suites with sunlight, with some leading to terraces with whirlpool tubs.
Down by the shore you’ll find bathing platforms furnished with sunbeds and parasols, and stepladders offering easy access to the sea for those wanting to swim and cool off. Guests can also take a dip in the spa’s indoor pool, with French patio doors opening onto the terrace to let the outside in. When it comes to food, Pjerin is smart and elegant, while the casual bistro, Giardino, has tables outside to maximise the views.
