Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Outside, you’ll have a choice of swimming spots. A main outdoor freshwater pool with sunbathing deck, loungers and parasols makes a calm daytime base, while two outdoor saltwater pools nearer the beach – including a saltwater children’s pool – bring you even closer to the sea and promenade.

Inside the spa centre there’s a heated indoor freshwater pool, great for early or late season dips. Pool towels are typically provided free of charge, so you can pack lighter.

The hotel sits on the seafront, with direct access to the coastal path and steps down to bathing areas and nearby pebble beaches including Cava and Copacabana (walking distance; footwear recommended for pebbles).

Spa, sports & wellness


Wellness is woven into the stay. The spa features a sauna, steam room and range of massage and beauty treatments (charges usually apply), alongside the indoor pool and tranquil relaxation areas – ideal after a day exploring Dubrovnik’s city walls.

A modern, air-conditioned gym offers cardio machines, free weights, a stretching zone and fixed strength equipment (typically 16+), while regular evening entertainment such as live music adds a low-key buzz between May and October.

Practical extras include a 24-hour reception, concierge-style assistance, currency exchange, luggage storage and the option to hire a wheelchair, plus English-language newspapers when available.

Food & drink

From relaxed buffet spreads to polished à la carte dining, Royal Palm Hotel Dubrovnik makes staying in feel indulgent.

Royal Terrace is the main buffet restaurant, serving varied breakfast and dinner with sea views from the terrace – the usual spot for Half Board meals. Along the promenade you’ll find Zoe Restaurant, blending local and international dishes for lunch, dinner and snacks, and La Castile, an à la carte restaurant by the pool for leisurely breakfasts, smart lunches or romantic dinners.

Drinks are taken seriously too. The elegant Bono Bar keeps the lobby area social with coffees and aperitifs, while On The Rocks Cocktail Bar & Lounge sits right by the shoreline – ideal for sunset cocktails, chilled music and me-time with a sea view.

A smart-casual dress code may apply in the evenings, and reservations or supplements can vary depending on your chosen board basis and season.
