Villa Dubrovnik Dubrovnik, Croatia An indulgent cliffside retreat Perched dramatically on a rocky outcrop amid pine, orange, and lemon trees and surrounded by bougainvillea and oleander, Villa Dubrovnik is a cliffside retreat that makes the most of its spectacular setting overlooking Lokrum Island and the Adriatic Sea as well as picture postcard views onto the old town of Dubrovnik. Built in the modern style at the beginning of the 1960s, the hotel has recently completed a 3-year restoration. Villa Dubrovnik is one of Croatia’s most luxurious hotels offering guests a choice of stunning accommodation comprising rooms, suites and villas, all with private outdoor spaces and floor to ceiling windows revealing outstanding views of the island of Lokrum and the Old City walls. The exquisite, minimalist decor is a perfect marriage of white marble walls, light hues and dark wicker furniture with wood detailing, modern artworks, upscale soft furnishings, and full-length sliding doors opening onto private balconies. Restaurant Pjerin offers views of the OldTown and Lokrum Island from its outdoor terrace. Head here in the morning to enjoy local delicacies and return in the evening to sample a mix of gourmet Dalmatian and Mediterranean cuisine paired with Croatian and global wines from the cellar.
