Hotel Royal Palm Dubrovnik
Five-star hotel | Dubrovnik, Croatia View on a map
Royal Palm is a five-star seafront hotel within Royal Dubrovnik Resort in Babin Kuk, with a stronger focus on larger rooms and suites than the neighbouring Royal properties.
Guests have access to the wider resort's pools, spa, restaurants and Blue Flag bathing areas, while Royal Palm's own appeal is the combination of spacious suites, balconies and easy access to the waterfront.
Location: Babin Kuk seafront
Royal Palm is at the western end of the Lapad Peninsula. Dubrovnik Old Town is 4.9 km away, Dubrovnik Airport is 24 km away and the Lapad Bay boardwalk is around 900 metres from the hotel.
A bus stop is less than 300 metres from the main Royal Resort entrance. Libertas bus 6 runs to Pile, just outside the Old Town, roughly every 10-15 minutes.
Rooms and suites
Royal Palm is best known for its larger suite categories. The current room mix includes standard king rooms as well as several suite types with significantly more living space.
| Category | Size | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Luxury King Room | Varies by type | Balcony; outlook depends on category |
| Luxury King Room Sea View | About 25-33 m² | King bed, balcony and Adriatic Sea view |
| Luxury King Suite | About 50 m² | Separate living space and balcony |
| Luxury King Suite Sea View | About 50 m² | Suite layout with sea-view balcony |
| Superior Suite Sea View | About 90 m² | Large suite with additional living space and sea-view balcony |
| Presidential Suite | 105 m² | Kitchen, dining area and large sea-view balcony |
| Superior Presidential Suite | 135 m² | Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, dining area and large sea-view balcony |
If space is the priority, the larger suite categories are the reason to choose Royal Palm over another hotel in the Royal complex. Sea view still depends on the exact category, so check the room name carefully before booking.
Pool terrace
Royal Palm has its own outdoor pool terrace beside the hotel. Guests can also use the wider Royal Dubrovnik Resort pool network.
Across the resort there are seven outdoor pools and two indoor pools, including a children's pool. These are shared facilities rather than pools exclusive to Royal Palm.
Beach and waterfront
Royal Palm guests can use the Royal Resort's Blue Flag bathing areas directly beside the complex. Sun loungers, umbrellas and beach towels are provided for hotel guests, subject to availability.
The shoreline is mainly rocky with prepared bathing platforms and sea access rather than a broad sandy beach.
Spa, indoor pools and fitness
Royal Palm guests have access to the wider Royal Resort wellness facilities, including Royal SPA, adults-only Ariston SPA, indoor pools, saunas, steam bath, treatment areas and a shared fitness centre.
These facilities are distributed around the resort rather than being located entirely inside Royal Palm.
Restaurants across Royal Dubrovnik Resort
Dining is shared across the wider resort rather than centred on a single Royal Palm restaurant. Current options include:
- Royal Terrace, the main buffet restaurant for breakfast and dinner.
- Crown Grill House, serving grilled meat, seafood and seasonal dishes.
- Sunset Restaurant, an à la carte restaurant overlooking the Adriatic.
- Restaurant Vista, serving breakfast and all-day dining.
Additional bars and casual venues operate around the resort, with some opening hours changing seasonally.
Families and larger groups
Royal Palm is especially useful for families and groups that need more space than a standard hotel room. The larger suite categories provide separate living areas, and some of the biggest suites add kitchens and multiple bedrooms or bathrooms.
Complimentary cots are available on request. Check the exact occupancy limit for the selected suite before booking.
Parking and airport transfer
The regular Royal Dubrovnik Resort parking rate is currently €10 per day, subject to availability. Some direct-booking rates include free parking, but this should not be assumed for affiliate or third-party reservations.
Private airport transfers can also be arranged through the resort.
