The coastline of Dubrovnik is a treasure trove of natural wonders waiting to be explored. From lush islands to dramatic cliffs, this region’s beauty is nothing short of enchanting.
Limestone streets and terracotta rooftops provide the perfect backdrop for a journey back in time. The city has also long been the Hollywood holiday hideout and it’s not uncommon to see A-list celebrities relaxing on the beaches or dining in Dubrovnik’s finest spots.
Dubrovnik’s ancient walls, weathered by centuries of sun and sea spray, stand as silent sentinels, guarding the secrets of a bygone era.
As you stroll through the labyrinthine streets of Old Town, you’ll be transported to a time when merchant ships sailed into the city’s port, laden with exotic goods from far-off lands. Explore the Rector’s Palace, where the nobility once resided, and walk the famous Stradun, the marble-paved main street.
Your accommodations are the Adriatic’s brilliance and Dalmatia’s charm seamlessly blended into a coastal paradise. This luxury resort is a destination of understated elegance, where every moment is a celebration of the Mediterranean way of life. With its natural surroundings, Sun Gardens provides a serene and elegant ambiance that mirrors the Dalmatian coastline. Each room is a haven of comfort and style, with balconies overlooking breathtaking views of the sea, gardens, or Elaphiti Islands.
Where sundrenched landscapes meet the soothing blue waters of the Adriatic, Croatia’s olive groves thrive. It is here the art of olive oil production is a time-honored tradition that weaves together culture, history, and a deep connection to the land. Croatian olive oil is said to be more than just a culinary delight, but a “liquid gold” that has been crafted for generations. The terraced groves have borne witness to centuries of change and could tell a story of perseverance and dedication.
For a breathtaking panoramic view of the city, ascend the ancient city walls. From this vantage point, the azure Adriatic Sea shimmers in the sunlight, and you’ll understand why Dubrovnik has long been a source of inspiration for poets and artists. These city walls, adorned with ancient watchtowers and fortifications, serve as the canvas for many of the most iconic scenes in the hit television series “Game of Thrones.” They found new life as the walls of King’s Landing, the capital of Seven Kingdoms.
When the sun sets, Dubrovnik undergoes a captivating transformation, as its streets come alive with vibrant rhythms of its nightlife. The nocturnal scene is a spirited fusion of tradition and contemporary entertainment, offering something for every taste. There’s a burgeoning nightlife that caters to a variety of tastes. The Stradun transforms into a hub of activity, with numerous bars and cafes. Enjoy a rooftop cocktail while soaking in panoramic views of the city or dance the night away to the latest beats of a trendy club. Enjoy a theatre presentation, art gallery or one of many open-air performances in the city’s historic square.
