Perched on Dubrovnik’s pine-fringed Babin Kuk peninsula, Valamar Argosy Hotel blends sleek, contemporary design with some of the most cinematic sea views on the Adriatic. Infinity-style pools spill towards the islands, pebble beaches are just steps away, and Dubrovnik Old Town is an easy bus ride, making this a polished base for couples, solo travellers and laid-back explorers who want resort calm with world-famous culture on tap.

There’s jaw-dropping, and then there are the views from Valamar Argosy Hotel. From the moment you step onto the terrace, the Elaphiti Islands and deep-blue Adriatic take centre stage. Spend lazy days by the stylish infinity-style pools, wander down to the nearby pebble bays, then hop on a local bus for a sunset stroll along Dubrovnik’s medieval walls. Back at base, modern rooms, Mediterranean buffets and a tranquil spa keep everything effortlessly easy. For couples seeking Croatia’s charm with Dubrovnik on the doorstep, Valamar Argosy Hotel delivers the perfect balance. It’s around 40 minutes from Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) and set on the relaxed Babin Kuk peninsula, with beaches, coastal walks and beach clubs a short stroll away. See more Croatia holidays.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The hotel’s showpiece is its trio of freshwater outdoor pools, tiered towards the sea with sleek sunbathing terraces. One main pool features a waterfall and panoramic views, another offers Balinese beds for extra comfort, and there’s a separate shallow children’s pool nearby. Sunbeds and parasols are provided around the pools, and complimentary pool towels are available so you can travel lighter.

Inside, a heated freshwater pool with waterfall sits within the spa centre – perfect for cooler days or post-sightseeing unwinding.

When it’s time for the beach, you’re spoilt for choice. Val President Relax Beach (pebble) is around 200m away, while Coral Beach Club is roughly 350m, offering a stylish beach-club vibe with loungers, parasols and drinks service (all payable locally). The water here is typically clear and calm, great for swimming and snorkelling.
