Sun Gardens Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Overview
The Sun Gardens Dubrovnik is a village-like resort on Orasac’s pristine waterfront, spread over 22 hectares of palms and cypress trees, and overlooking the Adriatic Sea. It’s only a 20-minute drive, or a short boat ride, from Dubrovnik’s mesmerising Old Town, so you’re well-placed for exploring. That said, there’s plenty to enjoy if you’d rather stay put.
The resort’s spa is one of the largest on the Dalmatian coast, with thermal pools, a hydrotherapy lagoon, sauna, steam room and wellness areas for deep relaxation. There's a lengthy activities offering, too – choose from the likes of tennis, cycling and watersports.
Elsewhere, you’ll find a beachfront promenade with an impressive 16 bars and restaurants, serving everything from Mediterranean to Croatian cuisine. Also tucked among the greenery are three swimming pools positioned to make the most of the sea views, with two especially for children. Speaking of little ones, they're very welcome here. Supervised Mini and Junior Clubs run from late May to mid-September, while Baby and Tween Clubs are available during the high season. Babysitting can be arranged on request from late May to mid-September.
