Valamar Lacroma Hotel
Dubrovnik (Babin Kuk) | Croatia
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Set among fragrant pines on Dubrovnik’s Babin Kuk peninsula, Valamar Lacroma Hotel pairs a calm, coastal setting with slick contemporary design and standout facilities. Gaze across to the Elaphiti Islands from the pools, wander down to Copacabana Beach for a sea swim, then hop on the local bus into Dubrovnik Old Town for sunset on the city walls. With a fantastic spa, indoor and outdoor pools, quality dining, and free access to the huge Maro World family entertainment centre, it’s a smart choice for couples, friends and families who want resort-style comfort within easy reach of the UNESCO-listed old town.
Think glass-fronted contemporary architecture, shimmering pools and sea-scented breezes, all framed by gardens and pine forest. Valamar Lacroma Hotel feels like a modern resort retreat, yet Dubrovnik’s terracotta-topped old town remains just a simple bus ride away. Lounge by the pools, drift between spa, beach and bars, and let the kids go wild at Maro World while you sip a sundowner overlooking the Adriatic.
For couples or families seeking Croatia’s historic Dubrovnik Coast charm with resort-style comforts, Valamar Lacroma Hotel delivers the perfect balance. It’s around 30 minutes from Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) and set on the peaceful Babin Kuk peninsula with Copacabana Beach a short stroll away. See more Croatia holidays.
