The Beach at Hotel Bellevue Dubrovnik

"Dramatically situated on a clifftop overlooking Miramare Bay, a fifteen-minute walk from Pile Gate, and with a wonderful shingle beach immediately below"

"The Bellevue's private beach, screening room, and spa attract a clued-in clientele—mostly couples popping over from Paris or London for the weekend and young Americans spending a couple of nights on their way up the Dalmatian Coast"

"The hotel has its own beach (accessible by elevator) with sun beds and towels free for hotel guests"

"The hotel has its own pebbly beach (accessed via an elevator in the cliff), so it feels more like a posh resort"

"Best of all there’s a gem of a cove beach below, and the hotel’s lift offers direct access"

"It has its own private beach"

"The Nevera Beach restaurant occupies a man-made cave right beside the private beach"

"The luxury amenities include a great Mediterranean restaurant as well as a more casual eatery on the beach, and a free breakfast"

"On the coast, midway between Dubrovnik's Old Town and Lapad Peninsular, this slick, modern hotel has a sheltered pebble beach and a wellness centre with an indoor pool, making it a restful retreat the year through"

"The private pebble beach is a primary draw of recreation-seekers and is an unusual find in Dalmatian coast hotels"
