Location: Sveti Jakov, east of the Old Town
Villa Dubrovnik is at Vlaha Bukovca 6 in the Sveti Jakov area. The hotel is about 1.3 km from the Old Town, with the walk taking roughly 15 to 16 minutes depending on pace.
The setting is quieter than Ploče immediately outside the city walls, but still close enough to walk into the centre for dinner or sightseeing. The hotel also looks directly across the water towards Lokrum Island.
Rooms and suites
The current room list ranges from 35 m² sea-view rooms to large one- and two-bedroom suites and the separate Villa Kolin Residence.
| Category | Size / setup | View or outdoor space |
|---|---|---|
| Superior Sea View Room | 35 m², 2 guests | Panoramic balcony with sea view |
| Deluxe Sea View Room | 40 m², 2 guests | Balcony with sea view; some rooms also show part of the Old Town |
| Deluxe Grand Sea View Room | Larger sea-view room | Floor-to-ceiling windows and direct Adriatic view |
| Comfort Room | Spacious room | Terrace with jacuzzi |
| Romantiko Suite | 87 m², bedroom and living room | Balcony with sea and Old Town views |
| Mirakul Suite | 118 m² | 54 m² terrace with jacuzzi and panoramic views |
| Tezoro Suite | 216 m², 2 bedrooms | 122 m² terrace with private garden |
| Villa Kolin Residence | 180 m², 3 bedrooms | Private entrance, garden terrace, plunge pool and partial sea / Old Town view |
The Superior and Deluxe rooms are the clearest choices if you mainly want the sea view without moving into suite pricing. Villa Kolin is a different product altogether, with three bedrooms and its own entrance.
Beach, pool and spa
Villa Dubrovnik has direct sea access below the hotel. The swimming area is rocky and terrace-based rather than a broad sandy beach.
The Villa Spa includes a heated indoor pool with large windows and a sundeck overlooking the Adriatic. Guests also have access to sauna, steam facilities, a gym and a treatment menu built around Mediterranean ingredients.
The spa also offers Welnamis treatments, which use sound and vibration while you rest on a specially designed treatment bed.
Restaurants and bars
Villa Dubrovnik currently has two restaurants and two bars:
- Restaurant Pjerin is the main fine-dining restaurant and is recommended by the Michelin Guide. Current hours are 07:00-11:00, 13:00-16:00 and 18:30-23:30.
- Giardino serves lunch in the garden under pine trees, with the restaurant open 09:00-19:00 and lunch from 13:00-16:00.
- Galanto Bar is the rooftop bar, with Old Town and sea views. Current hours are 19:00-00:00.
- Libero Bar is the quieter indoor-outdoor lounge bar, open 07:00-23:00.
Opening hours can change with the season, especially at Galanto.
Parking and arrival
Villa Dubrovnik lists private covered parking, free for hotel guests.
If you are driving, the hotel is outside the tightest part of the Old Town traffic zone but still close enough to central Dubrovnik that arrival instructions are worth checking in advance. Our Dubrovnik by car guide covers the current traffic and parking rules.
Families and larger stays
Villa Dubrovnik is best known as a couples' hotel, but several rooms and suites allow an extra bed, and the larger suites give families more space. Villa Kolin Residence sleeps up to six guests across three bedrooms.
If you need connecting rooms, a cot or other family arrangements, confirm the exact setup for your dates before booking.

Villa Dubrovnik or Hotel Excelsior?
Excelsior is closer to the Old Town and feels more like a grand city hotel. Villa Dubrovnik is smaller, quieter and more private, with a stronger boutique feel and fewer rooms.
For a short sightseeing stay, Excelsior has the easier location. For couples who value privacy, sea views and a smaller hotel, Villa Dubrovnik has the stronger case.
Facilities
Heated indoor pool, spa, sauna and steam facilities, fitness centre, direct sea access, two restaurants, two bars, 24-hour room service, free WiFi, private transfer services and covered parking.
