Map & location


Korcula Island, Dubrovnik Coast, Croatia

Korcula Island is one of the Adriatic’s gems: pine forests, crystal-clear water and a medieval walled town that looks lifted from a film set. Aminess Port9 Residence sits in a quiet inlet just outside Korcula Town, so you get a tranquil base with easy access to the action.

You’re around 100m from a pebbly beach with sunbeds and parasols (extra charge) and 100m from a handy supermarket for stocking your fridge-freezer. The water taxi stop is about 200m away, gliding you across the bay to Korcula Old Town’s stone alleys, Venetian architecture and marina-front restaurants. Shops, cafés and bars sit around 500m away if you want to stay local.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 3 hours – 3 hours 30 minutes including ferry crossing from Dubrovnik Airport (DBV).

Pool & outdoors


You’ll have two pools to choose from across the complex, perfect for splitting time between family fun and quieter swims:

• Outdoor saltwater pool with children’s section – Main family-friendly pool with a shallow area for little ones, surrounded by sunbeds and parasols, typically open from late May to early October.
• Outdoor freshwater pool – Located at the sister hotel within the resort, with a generous sunbathing terrace, loungers and parasols; inflatables are permitted, great for kids.

Pool towels are provided free of charge, so you can travel lighter.

When you’re ready for the sea, the pebbly beach is about 100m away. Expect beautifully clear water, views across the bay and the option to hire sunbeds and parasols for extra comfort (local charge). The pebble shoreline shelves gradually, making it manageable for confident children with supervision.
