Orasac, in Dubrovnik-Neretva County on Croatia's southern coast, is a peaceful seaside spot just outside Dubrovnik. For UK couples and families it pairs the calm of a quieter coastal base with easy access to one of the Adriatic's most famous cities, plus clear seas and warm summers.

It is the kind of place that suits travellers who want scenery and relaxation by the water, with the option of city sightseeing whenever the mood takes them.

Where to stay in Orasac

Sun Gardens Dubrovnik is a luxury beachfront resort in Orasac, near Dubrovnik, which makes a comfortable and well-equipped base for a relaxed stay on this stretch of coast.

Getting there and when to go

Dubrovnik is served by direct flights from many UK airports, and Orasac is a short transfer along the coast. The warm season runs from late spring into autumn. Summer is hottest and busiest, while late spring and early autumn bring comfortable warmth, calmer seas and thinner crowds, which is ideal for both swimming and sightseeing.

Beaches and the coast

The Adriatic coast here is known for clear, clean water rather than wide sandy beaches, with pebble and rocky shores and excellent swimming. The setting is scenic, with green hills meeting the blue sea, and the calm, sheltered feel of Orasac makes for relaxed days by the water.

Food and things to do

Croatian cooking leans on fresh seafood, grilled meats, olive oil and local wine, often served with a sea view. Days mix swimming and relaxing with boat trips along the coast and easy visits to nearby Dubrovnik, with its historic old town a major draw for a day out.

Who it suits

Orasac suits couples after scenery, calm and clear seas, and families who want a relaxed coastal base with a famous city close by. If you like beauty and quiet with culture within reach, it is a strong choice.
