View Your Escape
At the Hotel
CHECK-OUT: Noon, but flexible, subject to availability. Earliest check-in, 3pm.
Rates include à la carte breakfast at Pjerin restaurant and transfers to the Old Town.
FACILITIES
Spa with steam room, bio sauna and several treatment rooms; gym and aerobic studio; library. In rooms: standard TV, minibar, flatscreen TV, WiFi, hotel-brand bath products; suites have espresso machines (and more generously sized bath products).
PACKING TIPS
Small swimwear; giant sunglasses. Deck shoes for the transfer to Dubrovnik; minimal Prada or Calvin Klein to match the restaurant. Leave the bucket and spade at home – the hotel’s beach is rocky, not sandy.
CHILDREN
Accommodated, but not pandered to. Cots for under-3s (free) or extra beds (€50 a night for kids aged 3–7; €60 a night for ages 8+) can be added to parents' rooms. The hotel can supply booster seats and babysitting is available, subject to availability.
SPA
Villa Spa uses organic Sodashi products for its facials and massages, and OPI nail lacquers for its pedicures and manicures. The Villa Spa Experience Massage Diamond offers the chance to test out the hotel’s ‘diamond bed’, which uses light, colour, sound and scents to stimulate the senses. Some hotel rooms can accommodate private treatments too.
POOL
The large indoor pool has French doors – the perfect escape on the rare drizzly day. There are breathtakingly beautiful sea views from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and a fleet of sun loungers from which to lie back and admire them. Prefer saltwater? Hop along to the rocky beach, which has concrete platforms for sunbathing (sounds Spartan, feels fine) and a five-step ladder to the sea.
ALSO
Bored of your holiday read? The hotel’s library has a stash of fashion and design tomes.
USEFUL INFORMATION
All payments must be made in euros. Please note: bookings of five or more rooms are considered group bookings and must be processed directly by the hotel. City tax does not apply to children under the age of 12 and children aged between 12-18 years only pay 50 per cent of the city tax adult rate at all times.
Rooms
If sitting in an alfresco tub makes you smile, book the Jacuzzi-equipped deluxe suite, which has a grey chaise longue looking out to sea and a soft stripy rug in its cosy lounge. For a glorious view of the Old Town, book 218; for a balcony overlooking Dubrovnik, book 416.
Food & Drink
Unforgettable Features
Like the chef’s concoctions, Pjerin is smart and elegant. Chairs are chic grey and white, tables are topped with crisp linen and decorated with a sprig of rosemary and artfully shaped cutlery and glasses. The glass walls overlook the terrace and the sea, so that what’s outside shares the limelight with the delicious food: dishes such as home-made artichoke-and-ricotta ravioli and rabbit fillet with hazelnuts and wild mushrooms. Giardino, the casual bistro, has wooden tables and chairs crafted from purple rope set out on the terrace. There’s also an outdoor grill area where seafood and meat sizzle enticingly.
Liquid Bliss
Downstairs, there’s the pale and interesting Library Bar, dotted with light grey armchairs and charcoal sofas; lime-washed ceiling fans whir gently in the background, adding a cooling breeze. Romance levels rise a notch or two at the sultry rooftop Prosciutto & Wine Bar, where comfortable sofas sit under a canopied pagoda. The glass balcony overlooks the hotel’s roof, and has hypnotic sea views. All the classic cocktails are present and correct (alongside some signature drinks – try the Villa Du
Experience the Extraordinary
Spend some time relaxing in the spa, which has a respectably sized indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room and several treatment rooms. Gym bunnies can work out on the eight or so machines and there’s also a small room dedicated to Pilates and yoga classes. Take a boat to Lokrum Island and admire the fortress, botanic gardens and lake. The hotel can also organise various outings and activities, including private tours of historic Dubrovnik, Peljesac peninsula, Zagreb or the Elaphiti Islands; horse-riding in Konavle, evening cruises, sea kayaking, visits to the wine regions, trips to the oyster farms, and meals at a Croatian family home.
