Situated on the shore of the Lapad peninsula

Set in Mediterranean gardens, this big hotel has the feel of an ocean going liner. It opened in 2004 after a complete reconstruction of the former hotel – this was the biggest tourism project in Croatia in 30 years. The result is outstanding, with huge panoramic windows everywhere with sapphire blue sea on the other side and a wide range of facilities and services providing the ultimate 5 star experience.

ROOMS

308 air-conditioned rooms and suites including a VIP wing with separate entrance. Beautifully decorated and equipped, again with the touch of designer Renata Strok, all rooms have a balcony and seaview with satellite TV, mini-bar, Wi-fi and safe. Bathrooms are well appointed with designer name toiletries. Tea and coffee making facilities on request.

LIVING

There is a timeless feel to the hotel with lounges, terraces and bars seemingly at every turn. In fact there are five restaurants including the Satu Sushi Bar and Elafiti looking out to the islands of the same name. A beach restaurant plus four bars, one with resident pianist and the Orlandinja nightclub with low lighting, cool DJs and a sunken dance floor.

There are outdoor adult (heated in summer with a swim-up bar) plus children’s pools and an heated indoor pool at the Comfort Zone Spa which has a cardio gym and a wide range of treatments, saunas, steam rooms plus body care programmes.

On site there is a scuba diving centre with qualified instructors and courses available.

The Starfish Kids Club offers creative activities, sports and even pastry making and enjoys a heated children’s pool.

A regular bus service runs from right outside the hotel into the old city, just 15 minutes away.

Transfer time from Dubrovnik airport – approx. 40 minutes.
