Kalamota Beach House sits on the seafront of tiny, car‑free Kolocep Island, one of the Elaphiti Islands just off the Dubrovnik Coast. Life moves slowly here: pine forests and carob groves give way to coves, pebble beaches and two sleepy villages, Donje Celo and Gornje Celo.

You’re 500m from the nearest pebble beach and about 1.5km from a handful of local shops, bars and restaurants, perfect for an evening stroll. Regular boats connect the island with Dubrovnik, so you can spend the day wandering city walls and palaces, then retreat to island calm by sunset.

Kolocep Island, Dubrovnik Coast, Croatia

Wake up to big blue views and leisurely breakfasts on the terrace. The hotel’s main à la carte restaurant, Gcelo, serves a blend of Croatian and international flavours for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner, with a dedicated kids’ menu to keep younger palates happy. Expect plenty of fresh fish, seasonal salads and local specialities.

The adjoining bar, also on the terrace, covers everything from morning coffees to sundowner cocktails and chilled local wines. Beachwear is discouraged at mealtimes and smart‑casual dress may be requested in the evenings. Opening times, reservations and any supplements can vary by season and board basis.

What All Inclusive typically includes.

Head up to the rooftop to find the hotel’s showpiece: an outdoor freshwater pool framed by sunbeds and Balinese beds, all gazing out over the Adriatic. It’s an intimate space that feels more private villa than hotel, ideal for long, lazy afternoons with a book. Pool towels are provided against a refundable deposit.

Below, the island’s pebble beaches are just a short stroll away – clear, calm waters make them especially inviting for swimming and paddling, and there are facilities for kayaking and sailing on nearby stretches of coast.

This is a place to slow the pace rather than schedule your day. While there’s no formal spa or gym, Kolocep itself is a natural playground: follow forest trails between the two villages, discover tucked‑away coves or explore the coastline by kayak.

On site, you’ll find a small reception area with concierge support, currency exchange (local charge) and luggage storage, plus equipment like kettles available to borrow. Free Wi‑Fi lets you stay connected, though the setting might just tempt you to switch off.

Dubrovnik is around 25 minutes away by boat from the mainland port, where you can connect with ferries to Kolocep. Once in the city, stroll the iconic walls, explore palaces and monasteries and enjoy dinner along Stradun or the old harbour.
