Setting

View-brovnik

A restored heritage villa with a saltwater streak, Villa Argentina Dubrovnik returns, unfolding across its original residence, a newer wing and lush grounds that spill towards the Adriatic. Rooms are mostly fronted by garden-gazing balconies, awash in sea-toned palettes that echo the view beyond. There’s direct access to the water below, and a location that lets you dip in and out of Dubrovnik’s Old Town as you please.

Our favourite rooms

Rooms and suites are split between the original villa and a newer wing, the two linked by lush, sea-spying gardens that soften the transition between old and new. Interiors are consistent in feel — polished, coastal and sleek — with differences coming down to size, layout and outlook. For the full effect, it’s worth securing a room with a sea-view balcony, where the Adriatic becomes your endless blue backdrop.

Poolside

Villa Argentina Dubrovnik’s outdoor pool hovers above the Adriatic, with an infinity edge that makes the sea feel like its scenic extension. The surrounding terrace is lined with loungers and parasols for all-day basking, with an indoor pool to retreat to when you’re not working on your tan.

Spa

Anima Wellbeing & Spa is still to come, but it’s shaping up as a calm, considered space with several treatment rooms, a sauna, steam bath, Himalayan salt room and even an ice fountain in the mix. There’ll also be a new fitness centre — built using sustainable materials and kitted out with cardio machines and weights.

Packing tips

Pack for clambering down ladders into the Adriatic, not sandy beaches — and the steps back up.Pack for clambering down ladders into the Adriatic, not sandy beaches — and the steps back up.

Children

All ages are welcome, but Villa Argentina Dubrovnik is geared more towards grown-up getaways.

Sustainability efforts

Villa Argentina’s sensitive restoration is as much about preservation as progress: historic details from the original 1913 residence have been carefully retained, with old stone reused in traditional cascading terraces that echo Dubrovnik’s garden walls. The infrastructure is thoroughly modern, from seawater-powered heating and cooling to smart energy and water-saving systems, biodiverse gardens and the complete elimination of heating oil.

Food and Drink

Top Table

Ask for a table with the full sweep — the sea, Lokrum on the horizon, and the city’s ramparts all aglow.

Dress Code

Channel the coastline: soft neutrals, ocean hues and floaty fabrics.

Hotel restaurant

Menus for Restaurant Liz are still under wraps, but the direction is clear: ultra-fresh seafood, elevated Adriatic flavours and garden-grown herbs to garnish everything. As for location, it’ll be perched across a leafy garden terrace where tables sit beneath sun-dappled pergolas and decks step through Mediterranean planting, with flashes of the sea threaded throughout. Cala Beach Club (open from 10am to 6pm) is tipped to handle the daytime shift, your go-to for light bites and ice-cold glasses of Pošip.

Hotel bar

Copper Bar will hit its stride as the sun dips, pulling guests from pool to aperitivo within its red limestone walls. Expect a line-up of signature serves — including an Adriatic Spritz with fig rakija, vermouth and prosecco — alongside a short menu of refined bites.

Last orders

For breakfast at Restaurant Liz, it’s 7am–11am; lunch is served noon–4pm, and dinner hours are 6pm–11pm.

Room service

Dishes can be delivered to your room around the clock.

Location

Address
Villa Argentina Dubrovnik
Ulica Frana Supila 14
Dubrovnik
20000
Croatia

On a limestone bluff just outside Dubrovnik Old Town, Villa Argentina’s terraced gardens step down to a private stretch of Adriatic shoreline, yet the Unesco-listed centre is still an easy walk away.

Planes

Your closest landing strip is Dubrovnik Airport, around 20–30 minutes by car depending on traffic. Private transfers can be arranged with the hotel: €70 each way for a car seating up to three, or €99 for a minivan seating up to seven.

Automobiles

You won’t need a car for Dubrovnik itself — Villa Argentina is within walking distance of the Old Town and parking in the historic centre is limited. Car rentals are available at Dubrovnik Airport if you’re planning day trips along the coast. There’s free private valet parking at the hotel, but larger vehicles will need to load and unload in a designated street zone in front of the hotel.

Other

Dubrovnik is well connected by ferry, with regular routes from coastal cities such as Split, Hvar and Korčula arriving at the main port in Gruž. From there, it’s an easy 10-minute drive to Villa Argentina.

Worth getting out of bed for

There’s plenty to tempt you beyond Villa Argentina’s terraces. Boats slip out to the Elafiti Islands for lazy days of swimming and sunbathing in hidden coves, or you can hop across to Lokrum Island for a quick fix of botanic gardens and fortress views. Inland, the Pelješac Peninsula makes an easy day trip for winery-hopping among olive groves and vineyards, often paired with oyster tastings in nearby Ston Bay, where shellfish have been harvested since Roman times. While you’re there, walk the impressive Ston City Walls or visit the centuries-old salt pans. Back in Dubrovnik, the Old Town is close enough for early-morning wanders or after-dark aperitivos, once those cruise-ship crowds have thinned. 

Local restaurants

Dubrovnik’s proximity to the sea shows up on every plate: just-caught fish grilled simply, slicks of local olive oil and a steady stream of Dalmatian wines from the nearby hills. Nautika is a classic for a special night out, with white-tablecloth service and seafood-led dishes served on terraces overlooking the fortresses. For a more low-key, local detour, Konoba Dubrava is just 10 minutes outside the city on the slopes of Mount Srđ, where the bread and grappa are homemade following the owner’s grandmother’s recipes. The signature peka — meat or octopus slow-cooked with vegetables under an iron bell in glowing embers — takes hours to prepare and rewards those who order ahead. 

Local cafés

Gianni is worth seeking out for an afternoon pick-me-up. Opened by a former pastry chef from Michelin-starred Restaurant 360, it pairs inventive small-batch gelato with elegant French-inspired cakes and excellent coffee. 

Local bars

The entrance to Buža Bar is half the fun: ignore your map, follow the discreet 'Cold Drinks' arrows, squeeze through a hole in Dubrovnik's ancient walls and emerge onto a rocky terrace suspended above the Adriatic.

Anonymous review

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this restored historic residence in Croatia and unpacked their sailing caps and tide-marked towels, a full account of their Adriatic break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Villa Argentina in Dubrovnik… 

After a multiyear restoration, Villa Argentina Dubrovnik returns to the port city’s shoreline for summer 2026, reclaiming one of the city’s most coveted spots: a limestone bluff with uninterrupted views of the Old Town walls and Lokrum Island. Built in 1913 as a private residence, it’s since evolved from guesthouse to local institution — the kind of place residents remember as much as visitors do for cooling swims and lazy afternoons on the sun-soaked shore.  

This boutique hotel’s latest update keeps its footing, reusing local stone, reworking terraces and replanting thousands of Mediterranean species that fragrance its scenic edge. Now part of the same Croatian set as Smith-approved Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik, Hotel Bellevue Dubrovnik and Hotel Supetar — and sharing a historic wall with neighbouring Villa Orsula — it’s one of the few places in Dubrovnik where the gardens don’t just frame the view, they take you straight into the water.
