Hotel Sumratin Dubrovnik, Lapad Peninsula, Dubrovnik, Croatia

• Perched on a peninsula: Just four kilometres from Dubrovnik’s atmospheric centre yet with a privileged position on the Adriatic Coast, Hotel Sumratin Dubrovnik offers the perfect compromise between a city break and a beach holiday. Spend your days dipping in the crystalline waters of Sunset Beach, day tripping around Old Town Dubrovnik or climbing the surrounding hills, or drinking up the lush green that surrounds the hotel. With five-star elegance and beautifully appointed rooms, there’s no compromise on luxury here: every facet has been tailored to provide a truly spoiling stay.

• Sip and savour: There’s no need to go far to enjoy a slice of Croatian cuisine, with a choice of three delectable restaurants on site. Classic Med flavours take centre stage at Sol, which has an imaginative menu packed with locally sourced ingredients. Take in the sea views from the rooftop Val Restaurant & Bar (don’t miss the cocktails), or head to Dining Club for sumptuous breakfast spreads and delicious evening meals. Sweet treats can be found at Cukar Patisserie & Gelato. Ask the hotel for recommendations of their other dining establishments on surrounding islands.

• Rest and restore: After enjoying the dreamy coastal setting and the emerald waters that lap the Lapad Peninsula, try something different with a dip in the rooftop pool. Lounge on the sun-splashed terrace and soak up the rays, enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and order drinks and light snacks to your sun lounger – you don’t even need to move. Plus there’s a spa offering restorative treatments and massages (fees apply) and a well-equipped fitness suite.
