Each one of its 93 rooms has a charming nautical-themed décor and sea view that's hard to beat. Other facilities include a pebble beach, lounge, two restaurants, pool, a spa and sauna.

Pucic Palace

If you're looking to stay in the heart of the Old Town, opt for the Pucic Palace. The hotel is a luxury boutique option with just 19 bedrooms and suites, each equipped with TV, wifi, A/C, minibar and safe. Just 10 minutes from the Marina, its crème de la crème is that the hotel owns a private yacht that is available for trips up the coast.

Dubrovnik Beach for May 

Banje

As to be expected, Dubrovnik's beaches are some of the most popular on the Adriatic. For a quick jaunt from Old Town, head over to Banje, a pebble beach with beautiful views of the city ramparts. Another close option is Buze Beach, which attracts the younger crowd with its café bar and location beneath the city cliffs.

St. Jacob

St. Jacob is often considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches in Dubrovnik. Being in the close proximity to the city centre, it is situated in a small cove covered with pebble. Enjoy in jet-ski rides and kayak paddling when you are taking a break from swimming and relaxing in the crystal clear sea.

Copacabana beach

Those looking for an area more removed will find it at Copacabana beach, just a short taxi ride away on the Lapad Peninsula. With its summer activities and water sports, it's a great choice for families. Or take a 40-minute ferry from Dubrovnik to Sunj Beach on the Island of Lopud

Betina Cave Beach

Betina Cave Beach is a special cave beach, only reachable from the sea. The cave never gets too hot, even in the summer time and the pebbles are round and comfortable to sit on. Book a kayaking tour for swimming and relaxation on this beach. The beach has become a lot more popular recently so has lost a bit of its secrecy and charm. 

Bars and Restaurants 

Nautika

There are several magnificent restaurants around town, some world-renowned. Nautika (Brasalje 3) was once voted the seventh most romantic restaurant in the world. Sample the shaved black truffles and pistachio sorbet. For a classy seafood option, visit the elegant upstairs terrace at Proto (Siroka 1), where you can order Adriatic shrimps and brodetto with polenta.

Lokanda Peskarija

For something lighter, Arsenal (Pred Dvorom 1) is a good option. A local favourite is Lokanda Peskarija (Na Ponti), an informal seafood bistro that's popular with the localst's recommended to arrive earlier in the evening to get a table.

Gradskavana

A stylish coffee shop is Gradskavana (Pred Dvorom 1), right on the main striphe terrace is great for crowd-watching.

East-West Beach Club

After dinner and cocktails, dance the night away at one of the famous discos. The young and hip crowd might try their luck at the East-West Beach Club (Frana Supila bb), a nightclub with an open-air rooftop lounge. For something more mellow, sample the digestifs and local wines of D'Vino (4A Palmoticeva), an intimate wine bar tucked away in a stone alley.

The old Pharmacy, first established in 1317, is the third oldest working pharmacy in the world.
