Dubrovnik President Valamar Hotel

Located on the Babin Kuk peninsula, just a 15-minute bus ride to the old city, this was the first five-star hotel in the Valamar Group and it remains something of a flagship. There is easy access to the lungomare seaside promenade leading further onto the Babin Kuk peninsula way and to the Lapad Bay the other way.

Contemporary in style with elegant minimalism, the hotel exudes space everywhere so that even in high season it rarely feels full. On entering the hotel, vast panoramic windows provide a window to the blue Adriatic and to the small Elaphiti islands beyond. Guests refer to a wow factor!

As one would expect with a five-star property there is a wide choice of facilities including two pools, an outdoor one and a very large indoor pool close to the Balance Mediterranean Spa which offers a wide range of treatments, sauna and steam zones, beauty salon and Organic Bar. The gym has excellent sea views.

Dining options include the premium buffet restaurant for breakfast and dinner with themed dinner several times per week. The first class Momenti a la carte restaurant features fine dining with sea views and a Croatian and international menu. On the beach the a la carte La Mar restaurant is an option for Mediterranean fare and the Splash Beach bar also serves light meals and snacks as does the outside pool bar.

In addition to the pool bar, the piano bar and terrace has an extensive outside terrace and a lounge feel; and this is where live entertainment takes place nightly, usually between June and September.

Close to the hotel there are sports facilities including water sports, tennis, kayaking and bike rental. At the beach there is a diving centre (not hotel owned) which offers a wide choice of diving instruction and courses.

A bus stop is outside the hotel for buses to the old city.

For those who like big hotels with lots of space, this is a great choice. Perfect for adults, couples and groups of friends. This is really an adult hotel.
