Sprawling along the crystalline Adriatic coast, Dubrovnik, with its old-world charm and modernity, has evolved into quite the elegant destination. Strolling across the limestone streets, you’ll see why it’s dubbed the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” a Croatian gem set on the cliffs of the turquoise blue sea somewhere between Greek and Scandinavian history. Touching down in a private jet at Dubrovnik Airport brings you only minutes away from the terracotta rooftops, marble streets, and sapphire sea views of the walled city that have delighted the elite for centuries.
Discerning travelers can select from a range of five-star hotels, from plush beachside villas complete with infinity pools to former palaces transformed into chic hotels where guests are waited on by boutique hoteliers’ butlers. Yacht charters from the picturesque harbor of Dubrovnik provide a luxurious means of exploring the Elafiti Islands or the coastline of Montenegro in utter privacy. For gastronomy enthusiasts, Michelin-starred restaurants serve local Dalmatian specialties alongside fine Croatian wines, coupled with panoramic views of the Adriatic.
The best way to discover Dubrovnik’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is on a private walking tour led by a historian who can tell you the stories behind its Baroque churches, Gothic palaces, and Renaissance fountains. Visitors can also arrange for behind-the-scenes access to cultural events, like private opera performances or art gallery previews in the city’s centuries-old fortresses. Visitors can even dine atop ancient city walls or participate in intimate wine tastings in medieval cellars below the city.
For relaxation and renewal, travelers can retreat to spa sanctuaries with sea views or join personal yoga sessions at sunrise atop Mount Srđ, reached by cable car or by helicopter. Whether you’re looking for a romantic seaside escape, a cultural deep dive, or a sun-kissed journey by sea, Dubrovnik serves up a stunning and immersive experience that few places in Europe could match.
