Adriatic Luxury HotelsCliff-carved seaside hotel
The hotel is carved directly into the cliff, dropping thirty meters from open sea terraces to a pebbled cove by rock elevator.
“The pebbly public beach where locals and hotel guests swim together, but has a private section with lounge chairs, umbrellas, and one of the hotel’s bars.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
its glassy façade perched on a cliff above picturesque Miramare Bay… the water feels closer than the land.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Dubrovnik's walled Old Town is a ten-minute walk along the coast, leaving Miramare Bay quiet and crowd-free.
The rooms
Every room looks across the Adriatic through full-height glass, and selected rooms have private balconies over the water.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
The 10-meter oval pool and whirlpool face Miramare Bay, and an adjoining gym looks over the water through glass.
The spa
Three private treatment rooms host Ayurvedic bodywork and aromatherapy, with a manicure station just outside the gym.
At the table
Open-air terraces serve Adriatic seafood high above the water, and the Spice Lounge pours evening cocktails beside a fireplace.
