Vila Curic sits in Dubrovnik’s Lapad district, a scenic peninsula that’s quieter than the Old Town but still packed with life. You’re a short stroll from local shops, cafés and bars, with a promenade that skirts pebbly beaches and a working harbour lined with restaurants.

Regular buses from Lapad whisk you to Dubrovnik’s medieval Old Town in around 15–20 minutes, so you can spend the day wandering the city walls and Stradun, then retreat to a calmer neighbourhood for evenings by the sea.

Nearest shops, bars & restaurants: approx. 500m
Nearest beach (Lapad area, pebbly): approx. 600m
Dubrovnik Old Town: approx. 4km
Local harbour & boat trips: nearby in Lapad

Dubrovnik (Lapad), Dubrovnik Coast, Croatia

There’s no formal restaurant or bar on-site, keeping things pleasantly low-key, but guests can add Bed and Breakfast to their stay. Breakfast is freshly prepared and served directly to your apartment, so you can enjoy a slow start on your balcony or at the dining table without worrying about buffet timings.

For other meals you’re perfectly placed to explore Lapad’s dining scene – from casual bakeries and café-bars to seafront tavernas along the promenade – or stock the fridge in your kitchenette from local supermarkets and cook for yourself. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Head up to the rooftop terrace to find Vila Curic’s compact saltwater pool – a peaceful spot to cool off between sightseeing sessions. Sunbeds line the terrace, and the elevated position gives you attractive views over the neighbourhood and towards the port area. The pool usually operates between 1 May and 15 October, weather and management permitting.

Down at sea level, Lapad offers several pebbly beaches and bathing platforms, with typically clear Adriatic water that’s perfect for swimming. The nearest beach is around 600m away, and you’ll find beach bars, loungers for hire and watersports dotted along the shore.

Vila Curic focuses on simple, self-catering comforts rather than a long list of resort facilities. There’s no spa or gym on-site, but the Lapad promenade is ideal for coastal walks or jogs, and you can arrange boat trips or excursions locally for island-hopping and kayaking.

On the practical side, you’ll find:
– Reception (open around 15 hours per day)
– Concierge-style assistance for tips and reservations
– Luggage storage if you have a late departure
– Lift access to most floors
