Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Lapad
Dubrovnik's largest resort, Sun Gardens is a sprawling five-star village on the Orašac peninsula offering villas, apartments, three pools, a private marina, and a beach club. The scale and facilities — particularly for families — are unmatched anywhere on the Croatian coast near Dubrovnik.
Old Town
One of the very few hotels actually inside Dubrovnik's Old Town walls, Hotel Stari Grad occupies a restored 18th-century house on the Stradun promenade. The eight rooms are immaculately designed, the rooftop terrace is a private paradise, and waking up inside the ancient walls is an experience money can barely buy.
Old Town
A 17th-century baroque palace at the heart of the Old Town's Gundulic Square, The Pucić Palace is arguably the most atmospheric hotel inside the walls. The location — on a magnificent Renaissance piazza surrounded by morning market stalls — combined with opulent, historically informed interiors delivers a Dubrovnik experience of rare distinction.
Ploče
Dubrovnik's most intimate luxury hotel, Villa Dubrovnik clings to the cliff face east of the Old Town with direct sea access and extraordinary views of the city walls. Just 56 rooms, a private boat, and the kind of hyper-attentive service that appears on every 'world's best' list — year after year.
Lapad
Rixos Premium delivers five-star resort luxury on Dubrovnik's Lapad peninsula, with multiple pools, a private beach, and sweeping Elafiti Islands views. The ultra-all-inclusive concept — including premium drinks and most activities — makes it the region's best value for extended stays.
Babin Kuk
The Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera on the Babin Kuk peninsula offers reliable international luxury in a stunning coastal setting, with panoramic Adriatic views, a private beach, and a comprehensive spa. Slightly removed from the Old Town bustle, it delivers a more resort-focused, relaxed Dubrovnik experience.
