PlageSpaFamilleVue merBien-être

Sun Gardens Dubrovnik occupies a former olive grove on Orašac bay, between Aleppo pines and cypresses. We tested a sea-view room: teak balcony, sliding glass bay, contemporary furniture in bleached oak, grey marble bathroom. The five pools succeed each other on terraces, the main one measures 50 metres and overlooks the Adriatic. The 2 000 m² spa offers hammam, Finnish sauna, Clarins treatment cabins. The private pebble beach is equipped with loungers and parasols, the water remains transparent up to ten metres from the shore. Free shuttle to Dubrovnik every hour, twenty-minute journey along the coast. From 318 € per night, a rate consistent for a resort of this scale in Croatia ✨

Who is it for?

Who we recommend it to

We recommend Sun Gardens to families looking for a complete resort without sacrificing calm, and to couples who want to alternate beach and cultural visits. The facilities (kids club, multiple pools, gently sloping beach) suit children, while the spa and gardens offer preserved adult areas. It is also a practical address for groups and seminars, with meeting rooms and significant reception capacity.

The building

Architecture and interiors

The resort opened in 2009 on a 12-hectare seafront plot. Contemporary Mediterranean architecture: white volumes with flat roofs, terraces in Brač stone, wooden pergolas. The buildings are distributed in low pavilions (two to three storeys) linked by paths lined with lavender and rosemary. Rooms between 38 and 120 m², all with balcony or terrace, pared-back decor in natural tones.
