Hotel Cavtat

Croatian holidays don’t get much more idyllic than paddling about in a rooftop infinity pool overlooking the Adriatic Sea and pine-blanketed mountains, or sipping a glass of exquisite Dalmatian wine while watching the sunset. While staying at this stylish hotel in Cavtat – a charming coastal town on a forested peninsula, not far from the Montenegrin border – this can be your daily reality.

It’s just a short stroll from the seafront promenade and closest pebble beach, as well as Cavtat’s medieval old town, whose maze of stone and terracotta-roofed streets feel beautifully frozen in time. As well as a rooftop pool and lounge bar, the hotel has its own beauty and wellness centre where you can indulge in all kinds of rejuvenating massages, skin treatments and holistic body rituals delivered by expert therapists. If you just fancy kicking back on a poolside sun lounger, they can be hired for €5 per day (refundable through a voucher that can be spent at the poolside bar).
