Great for urban exploration but I wasn't bothered about the beach. I visited in mid-October (midweek) and the resort was virtually deserted. The beach bar was closed and so were the restrooms. It was so creepy that I decided not to swim or sunbathe. I visited the hotel ruins out of curiosity. They are all accessible for exploration and photos, but you must be cautious and watch your step. Take a torch if you are specifically intent on visiting the many pitch black interiors of the hotels. Most of the ruins can be viewed without torches though. Some of the darkened rooms and doorways were very foreboding, so I took a quick peep then backed away quickly. There are crumbling stairwells, flaking and degraded ceilings, scarily darkened lift shafts, abandoned pools and rooms, derelict restrooms, creative graffiti and signs of people who may have partied or slept there at some point. There are some large and small crevices and holes in the floors, so be very careful. I would not recommend venturing in here alone. If you twist your ankle or injure yourself in some other way, you may not find it easy to summon help. Go there in groups or at least in pairs. You can spend literally a whole day there exploring and there are some fabulous photo opportunities. A creepy experience. Go before they obliterate this historical site. I imagine that it may not be there for too much longer. If you want to stay nearby, I recommend the Sheraton or One Suite Hotel. They are literally a 5-10 min walk around the bay. You can also get to the beach by water taxi from Dubrovnik or Cavtat. Get off at Srebreno bay where the Sheraton and One Suite are and follow the signs for Kupari. It will say 400 meters to Kupari.

Definitely the prettiest place we've ever been to.Lokrum island is a must.Ride the cable car up the hills for beatifull views and have a drink and a bite to eat up there.Walk round the walls of the city but not in the heat of the day. The tuk tuk ride with Maro was superb his knowledge of the island is second to none.The food is pricey and the alcohol but if you go to the smaller bays like Lapad or Cavtat alot cheeper . Dubrovnik is a unbelievable place but better to stop in the smaller place quite near.Cheap to get a Huber to go into Dubrovnik from these places ,all in all well worth a visit 🫶🥰

Croatia has many beautiful beaches but how many come with fascinating options for a bit of urban exploration? This definitely seems to be the locals place to go, away from the tourists in Dubrovnik. Parking is free and plentiful, among the ruins of the abandoned luxury hotels. Yep, the beach may only provide basic (cash only) umbrellas, and a small bar but surrounding it is an array of abandoned buildings from Croatia’s pre-war era. I spent half of my time relaxing and swimming and half clambering through the ruins. Fascinating!
