Discover the Best
Dubrovnik is the jewel of the Adriatic — a UNESCO-protected city where mighty medieval walls meet a cobalt-blue sea. Here, luxury is defined by five-star standards, front-row positions on the waterfront or just beyond the city gates, and a culture of service that is as discreet as it is attentive. In this carefully chosen collection, iconic grand hotels and sophisticated boutique addresses come together with ambitious dining, world-class spas and elegant rooms commanding sweeping views across the water. The result is an uncompromising experience in which design, location and meticulous attention to detail combine to create memories that last long after the cases are unpacked.

Our Selection Criteria
Ratings and standards
We focused on five-star hotels with consistently strong guest ratings — generally around 8.5 or above on established platforms — and a demonstrable commitment to quality. A track record of awards and recent renovations were also taken into consideration.
Distinctive features
Extra weight was given to signature touches: clifftop sun terraces and private sea access, infinity or indoor pools with uninterrupted views, ambitious fine-dining concepts, rooftop bars, impressive wine lists and spas with full wet facilities, including hammam and sauna.
Location and surroundings
We looked for either seclusion and an unbroken sea horizon — along the Lapad and Babin Kuk peninsulas and the rocky coastline — or walking distance from the Old Town for culture, shopping and evening entertainment. Good transfer connections, proximity to beaches or private bathing platforms, and easy boat access to the nearby islands all counted in a hotel's favour.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ploče and Pile are the natural choice if you want to be within walking distance of the Old Town; Lapad and Babin Kuk suit those after a more resort-like atmosphere, with larger pool areas and sunsets over the Elaphiti Islands.
Sea views come as standard across many room categories, alongside high-quality finishes, a rain shower or bath, an espresso machine and well-considered in-room technology.
Several of the luxury hotels have comprehensive spa facilities, including heated pools, saunas, steam rooms and a wide range of treatments.
Six to nine months ahead for July and August or for suites; three to six months is generally sufficient for May to June and September to October.
A number offer family rooms, children's clubs and a children's pool. Many welcome families whilst also maintaining adults-only zones for guests who prefer a quieter environment.
Smart casual in the evenings is the general standard — shorts and swimwear are best kept to the pool and beach.
