Best places to stay:
Built into a steep cliff overlooking the deep blue waters of Miramare Bay, with its own beach and a luxurious spa, Hotel Bellevue lies a 15-minute walk along the coast from Dubrovnik’s old town.
Its 91 rooms and suites all have chic contemporary Mediterranean interiors and glorious sea views. There’s a fine-dining sea-view terrace restaurant, an informal seafood eatery for lunch on the beach, and a wine bar with a sommelier offering guided Croatian wine tasting.
It’s the perfect choice for design-conscious couples, who want to combine cultural sightseeing with plenty of time for relaxation and pampering.
The Bellevue is located in a relatively peaceful residential neighbourhood, lying midway between Dubrovnik’s old town, Gruž port and Lapad peninsula. The picturesque old town is a ten-minute walk away, and the hotel’s private beach, tucked away at the bottom of the cliff, is one of the city’s best-kept secrets.
