Grand Villa Argentina - Ploce

The quirks of history and a stunning location sets the Grand Villa Argentina apart. Close to the Old Town and part of the Adriatic Luxury Hotels group, this seafront hotel situates some rooms in a turn-of-the century villa.

Right on the Adriatic, surrounded by ruins, pine forest and terraced gardens, two former villas make up this beautiful hotel. One is modern, the other is a refurbished listed property. The hotel is just a ten-minute walk down the hill to the historic centre of Dubrovnik. A public beach is a short stroll away.

Being right on the seafront, you have views over the uninhabited island of Lokrum. Choose accommodation in the old buildings with classic furnishings, rich upholstery, and old-fashioned elegance. Or the rooms in the fresh new building, with modern amenities. The older building’s historic ambience adds a touch of class to your holiday, but all rooms benefit from the beauty of their surroundings.

From the saltwater pool, which is just steps from the sea and sometimes lapped by a passing wave, you can see the walls of the Old Town. Sunbathe on the rocky platforms on the seafront after taking a dip off the swim platform. The pool area is complemented by indoor spa facilities including an indoor freshwater pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and steam bath.

The breakfasts are beautiful. Order Buck’s Fizz for that special occasion or a cooked breakfast to fuel up for a day exploring the Old Town, the cable car up Mount Srđ, or the islands. Later, La Caravelle restaurant and piano bar serves à la carte meals and the beach bar offers informal lunches. Both restaurants dish up a beautiful sea view. The Victoria Restaurant and bar, next door to the hotel, makes top-end Peruvian cuisine – a rare treat on the Adriatic coast.
