The Spa at Villa Dubrovnik

"The rooms are light and airy, and all have balconies and views across the water to Lokrum Island and the Old Town, and the spacious suites have the added luxury of a Jacuzzi"

"Facilities include two terrace restaurants with views down onto the turquoise sea through the pine trees, a rooftop wine bar affording stunning sunsets, and a luxurious spa with a pool"

"There are an indoor pool, spa, and fitness center on-site, along with multiple restaurant and bar options"

"A sophisticated but relaxed five-star retreat in Dubrovnik with a spa and indoor pool that looks out onto the turquoise Adriatic"

"We find hotel spa massages can be a bit so-so; we prefer the pain and torture of sports massage, but our Croat therapists are strong and experienced, and as we drift out into the corridor and back to our room, eyes glazed, hair knotted, muscles limp, we resolve that a nap is the only option"

"The spa has an indoor pool, but stone steps lead to the water’s edge where guests can relax on sun beds or step directly into the sea"
