Croatia Cavtat

Providing the perfect place for both relaxing and exploring, this 5 star hotel is located in the beautiful town of Cavtat, just a 6km drive from Dubrovnik Airport. With a pine forest backdrop, you’ll be just a short walk from beaches and quaint streets with bars, cafes and restaurants. Croatia Cavtat boasts an outdoor seawater pool, plus a spa with an indoor pool, steam bath and Finnish sauna. Massage therapists can provide a more personal touch, while hair and beauty treatments are also available.

The buffet restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner, dishing up fresh Mediterranean cuisine. In the summer you may choose to have lunch or an early dinner at Alverde, where the international menu includes pasta and fish. For that extra special meal, there’s two signature restaurants. Spinaker dishes up seafood on the pier, so choose from jumbo prawns, octopus, scampi, lobster, monkfish, black cuttlefish risotto and more. The Steakhouse doesn’t just serve the finest cuts of meat, smoked salmon is also on the menu.

The Piano Bar is open from 7am to 1am. Visit in the morning for a coffee and pastry, then return in the evening to chill with a cocktail as the pianist plays. In high season Sirocco provides an additional place to grab a cool refreshing beverage. It’s located on the rocky beach below the hotel, giving you the opportunity to take in spectacular vistas as you relax.

All of the air conditioned rooms feature a balcony, mini bar, satellite TV, a safe, plus bathrobes and slippers. Upgrade to a Deluxe for a magnificent view of the Adriatic, as well as complimentary cookies, chocolates, fresh fruit, plus a daily turndown service. Room service is available 24/7.

Cavtat isn’t a modern resort - it dates from the fourth century BC and has a number of interesting landmarks to explore. Don’t miss the Racic Family Mausoleum and the Franciscan Monastery. The Old Town of Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is just a 20km drive or bus ride away. Breathtaking views are available from Mount Srd. You may choose to hike up or you can take it easy and use the cable car. Foodies won’t want to miss out on a trip to Mali Ston (70km away), with its world-renowned oysters.

As you’ll just be 22km from the border of Montenegro you’ll have the opportunity to join a full day tour to explore this fascinating country. Be prepared to be blown away by Kotor, a medieval town set in a mountain-rimmed bay.
