Overview

 
Set in lush Mediterranean parkland on Dubrovnik’s Babin Kuk peninsula, Valamar Tirena Hotel pairs stylish interiors with a genuinely easy-going, family-first vibe. Expect contemporary, spacious rooms, a lagoon-style pool with slides and a swim-up bar, and the huge bonus of free, unlimited access to nearby Maro World – the Adriatic’s largest family entertainment centre.

Bright, modern design, pine-scented gardens and a relaxed pool scene set the tone at Valamar Tirena Hotel. Families are at the heart of the experience: little ones get their own pool with slides, while grown-ups head for the swim-up bar or wander a few minutes to the pebbly Adriatic shore. The headline act is Maro World just 100m away – an enormous indoor-outdoor play, gaming and entertainment hub that keeps kids and teens busy from morning to evening. For couples and families seeking Croatia’s Dubrovnik Coast charm with an easy, resort-style base, Valamar Tirena Hotel delivers a smart balance of relaxation and activities in a green, parkland setting. It’s around 35 minutes from Dubrovnik Airport (DBV). See more Croatia holidays.
