Hotel in Lapad Peninsula, Dubrovnik Neretva, Dubrovnik Neretva
Hotel Dubrovnik Palace
A large resort hotel dramatically positioned on the Lapad Peninsula cliffs with sweeping Elafiti Islands views and one of Dubrovnik's best spa and pool complexes. The hotel operates boats to Old Town and has its own rocky beach accessed by elevator through the cliff.
Hotel Dubrovnik Palace is positioned on the Lapad Peninsula's cliff edge at Masarykov put, commanding one of the finest panoramas of any hotel in the Dubrovnik-Neretva region: an unobstructed view of the Elafiti Islands stretching northwest across the Adriatic. The hotel's clifftop setting provides a sense of elevation and perspective rarely found in lower-lying resort properties, and the terracing of the building down toward the sea ensures that the views are shared across most accommodation categories.
The scale here is larger than many Dubrovnik hotels, and this is reflected in the breadth of amenities on offer. The spa is among the most comprehensive in the region, with multiple treatment rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, sauna and steam facilities, and a gym that overlooks the sea. The outdoor seawater pools — terraced down the cliff face — are an architectural feature as much as a leisure facility, providing multiple swimming options at different levels with consistent sea views from all of them.
Beach access is provided via a cliff elevator that descends directly to a rocky shoreline. While not a sandy beach, the swimming conditions in the clear Adriatic water are excellent, and the privacy relative to the more crowded city beaches is considerable. The hotel's own boat service operates regular transfers to Old Town's waterfront, making the Lapad Peninsula location practically convenient despite being several kilometres from the historic centre.
The hotel offers multiple dining venues, including a panoramic restaurant, a buffet dining room, and terrace bar service. Cuisine leans toward Croatian and Mediterranean styles, with local Dalmatian seafood featuring prominently on seasonal menus. The breakfast operation is substantial and well-stocked, reflecting the resort character of the property.
For families, the hotel's multiple pools, organized entertainment, and the structured resort environment make it a practical luxury choice. Business travellers are also served by meeting and conference facilities, positioning the Dubrovnik Palace as one of the more versatile full-service hotels in the Lapad Peninsula cluster of the Dubrovnik-Neretva region.
