Royal Neptun Hotel

Dubrovnik (Lapad) | Croatia

⭐⭐⭐⭐

 
Perched on the rocky fringe of Dubrovnik’s Lapad Peninsula, Royal Neptun Hotel is all about Adriatic panoramas, pine-scented sea air and long, lazy days by the water. Part of the polished Royal Hotels and Resort complex, it combines the intimacy of a 90-room hotel with the facilities of a much larger resort: multiple pools, a seafront spa, excellent restaurants and cocktail-perfect sunset terraces – all just a short hop from Dubrovnik’s medieval Old Town.

A modern seafront escape with uninterrupted Adriatic views, Royal Neptun Hotel offers tiered sun decks above the water, big blue views from many rooms and a relaxed resort feel. Share in the wider Royal complex’s pools, restaurants and bars, then wind down with a signature drink at On the Rocks as the sun sinks behind the Elaphiti Islands.

For couples and friends who want Croatia’s coastal charm with easy access to Dubrovnik’s Old Town, Royal Neptun Hotel is a smart choice. It’s around 40 minutes from Dubrovnik (DBV) airport and set on the peaceful Lapad Peninsula with direct sea access. See more Croatia holidays.
