You’ll find a serene heated indoor freshwater pool at the hotel’s wellness centre – a peaceful spot for a dip after walking the city walls. The glass roof opens partially in summer, filling the space with natural light, while the adjoining outdoor lounge deck opens seasonally for sunbathing or post‑swim relaxation. Complimentary pool towels are provided, and the pool typically opens from early morning until late evening.
For sea and sand, stroll down to nearby Banje Beach or one of Dubrovnik’s other bathing spots, where clear Adriatic waters and views over the Old Town ramparts reward the short walk. Do note that most city beaches here are pebbly or platform‑style rather than long sands.
