Royal Princess Hotel

Dubrovnik (Lapad) | Croatia

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 
Perched on the seafront of the Lapad peninsula, Royal Princess Hotel is a polished, all-suite hideaway with some of the best Adriatic views in Dubrovnik. Wrapped in pine trees and linked to a broader Royal Hotels & Resort complex, it combines a boutique, 54-suite scale with big-resort perks: multiple pools (including an adults-only option), excellent restaurants and bars, a full spa and an easy hop into Dubrovnik Old Town.

Expect sweeping sea views from almost every angle, designer interiors in a soothing palette of creams and blues, and lazy days that drift between the pool terrace, the paved beach and Dubrovnik’s UNESCO-listed Old Town. With spacious suites as standard, it’s a refined choice for couples and discerning families wanting more room to unwind without losing the buzz of the city.

For couples seeking Croatia’s charm mixed with historic Dubrovnik drama, Royal Princess Hotel delivers the perfect balance. It’s around 40 minutes from Dubrovnik Airport. See more Croatia holidays.

Location | Royal Princess Hotel

Location

The Royal Princess Hotel is tucked away on the scenic Lapad peninsula, one of Dubrovnik’s most desirable coastal enclaves. A seafront promenade runs right past the hotel, backed by pine trees and pebbly coves, with cafés and bars dotted along the bay.

Lapad resort centre is within walking distance, while medieval Dubrovnik Old Town – all terracotta roofs and city walls – is just a short taxi or local bus ride away. From the nearby harbour, boat trips run to the Elaphiti Islands for car-free beaches and forested walking trails, making this an excellent base for combining city, coast and islands in one stay.
