Admiral Grand Hotel enjoys an enviable position right on the waterfront in Slano, a pretty harbour village framed by pine-clad hills and olive groves. The calm bay is ideal for gentle swimming, paddling or taking to the water in a kayak, while the seafront promenade invites evening strolls.

Despite the away-from-it-all feel, you’re only around 300m from local cafés, bars and small shops, and about 30km from Dubrovnik’s walled Old Town – easy to reach by local bus or organised excursion. This makes Slano a great base if you want to dip into the city’s history and buzz, then retreat somewhere peaceful at night.

Beach: on the beachfront

Meals centre around the main buffet restaurant, where generous breakfasts and dinners feature international favourites alongside Dalmatian dishes, with show-style presentations and a relaxed, semi-formal atmosphere.

Down on the seafront, the à la carte beach restaurant opens seasonally for leisurely breakfasts right by the water, while the pizzeria is ideal for casual lunches between pool and beach. Evenings can start with a coffee or aperitif in the piano bar and finish with a nightcap on the terrace or at the pool bar (weather dependent and seasonal).

Smart-casual dress is requested in the main restaurant (no beachwear; long trousers for gentlemen often required in the evening). Reservations, opening dates and any supplements can vary by season and board basis; always check the latest details on arrival. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Life here flows between the terrace, pools and beach. The main outdoor saltwater pool sits just above the shoreline, with sunbeds and parasols arranged along the waterfront so you can switch easily between pool dips and sea swims.

An indoor heated saltwater pool is available between spring and late autumn – ideal for cooler days or a more tranquil swim. Complimentary pool towels are provided, so there’s no need to pack your own.

On the bay itself you’ll find a gently shelving pebble beach, calm waters and hotel-run watersports including kayaking and pedalos (seasonal and extra charge), offering a relaxed way to explore Slano’s beautiful natural harbour.

The small but well-equipped spa area offers a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath and whirlpool, plus a menu of massages and beauty therapies to help you fully switch off. There’s also an on-site hairdresser for pre-dinner spruce-ups (spa and beauty services typically incur local charges and run seasonally).

Active guests are well catered for: there’s a gym with cardio and strength equipment, and multi-use courts where you can play basketball, football or handball, along with a tennis court. Occasional evening entertainment – such as live music – runs between roughly May and October, keeping the atmosphere relaxed rather than lively.

Practical touches include a 24-hour reception, currency exchange services, luggage storage and wheelchair hire on request (subject to availability), making Admiral Grand a comfortable and easy base for exploring the Dubrovnik Coast.
