Villa Dubrovnik: A Cliffside Hideaway Below the Old Town Walls

Villa Dubrovnik is the most romantic address on the Dalmatian coast, a boutique hotel of white marble and glass that tumbles down the cliffs to the Adriatic just below the medieval walls of Dubrovnik's Old Town, with the wooded island of Lokrum floating offshore. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader, it has a private beach, a spa and a boat to ferry guests to the Old Town.

The dining makes the most of the view. Restaurant Pjerin is recognized by the Michelin Guide for its haute Mediterranean cuisine under chef Robert Račić; the terraced Giardino cooks in an open-air kitchen beneath century-old pines; and Galanto, the only rooftop bar in Dubrovnik, and the Libero reading-lounge bar complete the offering.

For a romantic, gastronomic Dubrovnik stay, Villa Dubrovnik is a benchmark.
