Dubrovnik is a beautiful city in southern Croatia known for its beautiful beaches, historic architecture and vibrant culture. Here are some suggestions to help you arrange a memorable and enjoyable trip for a luxury family getaway to Dubrovnik that the whole family will love.

Discover the magical old town

Anyone visiting Croatia should visit Dubrovnik, which offers a distinctive amalgamation of history, culture and natural beauty. Known as the “Pearl of the Adriatic”, the Old Town of Dubrovnik is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has a walled city dating back to the 7th century that has been an important center of trade and culture throughout history. Among the myriad of sights, don’t miss the Stradun, the main street of the city, the Rector’s Palace, the seat of government during the Republic of Ragusa, and the Franciscan Monastery with a museum, a fine cloister and the oldest working pharmacy in Europe not missing. .

Discover the children’s camps offered

Children’s sports academy during the summer holidays can be a fun and rewarding experience for both the children and the parents. Children can develop their skills, build their confidence and make new friends. Many destinations around the Mediterranean offer such programs, and Dubrovnik, Croatia is no different. Make the most of your summer vacation by enrolling your junior footballers in a football academy while relaxing in Dubrovnik.

Learn some moves in a dance academy

If soccer isn’t your favorite cup of tea, a dance academy might be a better choice for your child to learn new skills, make new friends, and stay active during the summer months. These dance programs for girls and boys will keep them busy during the summer holidays, so check out the available offers in advance.

Beach and fun in the sun

Dubrovnik is lucky to have many beaches due to its coastal location and beautiful Adriatic coastline. There is bound to be a beach in Dubrovnik to suit your interests, whether you prefer pebbly or sandy beaches, busy or quiet beaches. Choose a hotel on the beach and enjoy the beach as much as you want or visit some of Dubrovnik’s famous beaches. Banje Beach, which is just a short walk from the old town, offers a beautiful view of both the old town and Lokrum Island. Located in the Lapad Bay region, Lapad Beach is popular with families with young children. The sandy shoreline and shallow waves make it ideal for swimming and sunbathing. Copacabana Beach has a variety of amenities, including restaurants, bars and water sports equipment rentals, but it should not be confused with the well-known Brazilian beach of the same name.

… or sixteen a day at the pool

Spending time by the pool can be a great way to bond and create unforgettable memories. Many hotels in Dubrovnik offer outdoor (and indoor) pools as a popular guest feature. If you don’t like the salty Adriatic Sea, lounging by the pool is a perfect way to spend your vacation. Pool bars are also a great place to enjoy refreshing summer cocktails or mocktails while soaking up the sun. Don’t forget to have fun and enjoy the moment! Take lots of photos and create lasting memories with your family.

Sailing around Elaphite Islands

Sailing around the Elaphite Islands is a fantastic way to discover the beautiful coastline and pristine waters of the Adriatic Sea. The Elaphite Islands are a small archipelago of thirteen islands and islets off the coast of Dubrovnik. It can be a great experience for families, keeping in mind some tips to make it fun and safe for everyone. Choosing the right boat is essential – for beginners, choosing a motorboat may be more suitable for a comfortable and relaxed journey. When planning your itinerary, be sure to stop at kid-friendly beaches and attractions. Some islands have sandy beaches, others have rocky shores. Sailing the islands can be tiring, so stop frequently to visit the islands, go for a swim or have a picnic. The obvious one is to keep an eye on the weather and have plenty of supplies. Make it a learning experience by teaching young people about environmental protection.

Visit a local summer party

Croatia has a rich cultural heritage and a vibrant culture, so there are many different local flavors to enjoy, from food and drinks to music and beautiful environments. Croatia’s Mediterranean coastal climate is comparable to that of Italy, Spain and Greece. A real local summer event in Dubrovnik, party, is a great opportunity to sample the country’s rich cultural heritage and turn lively summer evenings into unforgettable family experiences.

Adrenaline buggy safari ride

While a buggy safari tour may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of family activities, a guided off-road drive can be a fun and exciting alternative for families who enjoy outdoor activities and adventure. Select a tour with a skilled guide to fully experience the drive over the mountainous terrain around Dubrovnik and the spectacular views of Dubrovnik and its islands. Personalized tours can be tailored to individual needs, making them ideal for families with children.

Discover the delights of Lokrum Island

Lokrum Island, a small island just off the coast of Dubrovnik, is easily accessible by boat from the city’s Old Town. Hiking trails, swimming spots, botanical gardens, and the Dead Sea, a small saltwater lake, are among the attractions available to families on the island. There are also free-roaming peacocks and rabbits on the island for children to watch and interact with. In addition, Lokrum Island contains a few restaurants, cafes and picnic areas where families can eat or relax. There are also several shady areas on the island, which can be a welcome change on hot summer days. So if you are looking for a mix of nature, history and relaxation, a day trip to Lokrum is a great option for family fun.

Discover new flavours

The Dubrovnik area is also a paradise for foodies. The Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, including daily fish, seafood, meat specialties, seasonal vegetables and salads and traditional desserts, will satisfy all your appetites. But when traveling with kids, eating out can sometimes be difficult. There’s no McDonald’s here. Some restaurants have children’s menus, while others go out of their way to accommodate even the pickiest of eaters. We also offer ice cream, Artisan gelato at Pepinos, or the regionally famous Doce Vita for dessert or a refreshing snack. You will love all the classic flavors, but you should try others that are only available in Dubrovnik or Croatia.
