Dubrovnik Family Hotels with Suites and Apartments
11 family-friendly hotels with family suite in Dubrovnik . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Old Town hotels in Dubrovnik tend to have small rooms, so families usually do better on the Lapad and Babin Kuk peninsulas or at resorts along the coast, where suites and apartments are larger. Sun Gardens Dubrovnik, rated 9.3, has two-bedroom apartments with full kitchens, a kids' club and a teen club. Hotel Kompas in Lapad offers family suites for five with kitchenettes, and Royal Neptun has suites with two bedrooms and big balconies. Hotel Ivka, Hotel Dubrovnik Palace and Valamar Tirena add baby equipment, kids' clubs and beaches. All are rated 8.9 or higher.
Dubrovnik is a walled city of pale stone and red roofs set above the deep blue Adriatic. Families walk the walls early, take the cable car up Mount Srđ for the view, catch the boat to Lokrum island to meet its peacocks and spend afternoons in the coves and pebble beaches of Lapad and Babin Kuk, a short bus ride from the Old Town.

🛏️Room to Spread Out on a Dubrovnik Holiday
A family suite in Dubrovnik pays off on long, hot summer days. Children need a rest after a morning on the city walls, and a separate bedroom or living area lets them nap while parents relax on the balcony. Kitchenettes help with breakfasts and snacks, and blackout curtains, which several hotels here provide, make early bedtimes possible when the sun sets late.
Sun Gardens Dubrovnik, a five-star resort rated 9.3, is the most spacious option. It sits at Orašac, about 12 kilometres north of the Old Town, with 201 family suites and apartments. Two-bedroom apartments sleep six and include full kitchens, washing machines and sea-view balconies, so families can settle in for a week or more. The resort has three pools, a kids' club for ages 4 to 12, a teen club, a playground, its own pebble beach and extensive tennis courts, and a free shuttle runs to the city, which makes it easy to combine resort days with sightseeing.
On the Lapad peninsula, Hotel Kompas, rated 9.4, sits directly on Uvala Bay with a pebble beach at the front door and an outdoor pool. Its family suites sleep five, with kitchenettes that include a fridge, a microwave and a kettle, and the main restaurant offers a daily children's menu. Royal Neptun Hotel, rated 9.2, has some of the largest family suites in the area, often with two bedrooms and a balcony big enough for breakfast, plus an outdoor pool, a spa, tennis courts and steps down to a small swimming cove. Cots are provided free on request.
Families with babies and toddlers will appreciate Hotel Ivka in Lapad, rated 9.3. It lends cots and bottle warmers free of charge, has step-free corridors and is about five minutes' walk with a pushchair from the bay promenade. Two of its family rooms have an alcove that fits a cot without blocking the window, and reception keeps a list of English-speaking babysitters. Hotel Dubrovnik Palace in Babin Kuk, rated 9.1, adds a baby-changing room, a free steriliser starter pack and a kitchen that purées vegetables from the menu at no charge, alongside a private beach and a spa.
Valamar Tirena Hotel, rated 8.9, is a more budget-conscious family resort on Babin Kuk. It has family suites, the Maro Kids' Club for ages 4 to 12, an outdoor pool with a slide and tennis courts, and Copacabana Beach, with its shallow sandy shore, is about 200 metres away. From Lapad and Babin Kuk, buses reach the Old Town in around 15 minutes, which is the easiest way to visit, as parking near the gates is limited. Plan the city walls for the cooler morning hours and save the afternoon for the beach or pool.
Parent's take
In Dubrovnik I would trade an Old Town address for a suite in Lapad or Babin Kuk. A second bedroom, a balcony for breakfast and a beach a few minutes away make the long summer days far easier, and the bus into town is short enough for a morning visit to the walls.
Our Top 11 Picks
Hotels in Dubrovnik with family suite, sorted by guest rating.
La Dolce Villa
Ploce
Wonderful
20 reviews
A 5-star villa property in Ploce with multi-bedroom apartments and private terraces overlooking the Adriatic. Each family suite has a full kitchen, washing machine, and separate dining area, sleeping up to six comfortably with interconnected bedrooms.
From
€941/night
Why families love La Dolce Villa
The terrace was our favourite part. Kids ate breakfast outside watching ferries sail past while we had coffee in peace. The host met us at the airport and stocked the fridge with local juice and yoghurt before arrival, which fed the kids immediately after a 4-hour flight. Short walk down to the sea for a swim before dinner.
Hotel Sumratin
Lapad
Wonderful
136 reviews
A 5-star boutique hotel on Ulica Mata Vodopića in Lapad, 250 metres from the pedestrian promenade to Kamenica beach. Family suites have two bedrooms, a living area with sofa bed, and balconies facing a leafy courtyard.
From
€315/night
Why families love Hotel Sumratin
The location is quieter than expected for Lapad. Our 6-year-old fell asleep easily even with the windows open. Breakfast was extensive, with fresh pastries, made-to-order omelettes, and plenty of fruit. Staff set up a cot before we arrived and left a small welcome bag with crayons and a colouring book.
Hotel Kompas
Lapad
Wonderful
809 reviews
A 4-star hotel directly on Uvala Bay in Lapad with an outdoor pool, a pebble beach at the front door, and family suites that sleep five. Kitchenettes come with fridge, microwave, and kettle, with the main restaurant offering a daily kids' menu.
From
€409/night
Why families love Hotel Kompas
Beach access straight from the pool terrace was the biggest win. Our kids would swim, dry off, and be back at the suite for a nap in 5 minutes. The kids' menu had proper pasta with butter and grilled chicken, not chicken nuggets. Lift to every floor meant stroller logistics were never a problem.
Sun Gardens Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik
Wonderful
2,340 reviews
Sun Gardens Dubrovnik runs the most serious tennis programme on this list, with eight clay courts, three hard courts, and a residential coaching academy that takes drop-ins. The resort sprawls across Orasac, 10 km north of the Old Town, with its own pebble beach and a free shuttle.
From
€1021/night
Why families love Sun Gardens Dubrovnik
I recommend Sun Gardens to tennis-keen families. It runs the most serious tennis programme on this list, with eight clay courts, three hard courts and a coaching academy that takes drop-ins, including junior groups. The kids' club is included for ages 4 to 12 and runs structured activities. The resort spreads across Orasac, about 10 km north of the Old Town, with its own pebble beach and a free shuttle into the city. The 9.3 rating confirms the quality.
Hotel Ivka
Lapad
Wonderful
720 reviews
Mid-Lapad 4-star a 5-minute stroller push from the bay promenade, with free cot loan, free bottle warmer at reception, and a quieter breakfast room than the resort-grade hotels. Two family rooms have an alcove that fits a cot without blocking the window.
From
€661/night
Why families love Hotel Ivka
Easy starter pick for first-time travellers with a baby. Front desk holds an English-speaking sitter list and the breakfast is calm enough for a 7 am wake-up without feeling chaotic. The Lapad bay playground is 8 minutes flat walking, easy with a stroller, and pharmacies are within 200 m.
Royal Neptun Hotel
Dubrovnik
Wonderful
4,698 reviews
Royal Neptun Hotel anchors the southern tip of Lapad with two clay courts and direct steps down to a small swimming cove. Family suites here are some of the largest in central Dubrovnik, often with two separate bedrooms and a balcony big enough to eat breakfast on.
From
€678/night
Why families love Royal Neptun Hotel
I recommend Royal Neptun for active families who want tennis and swimming in one place. There are two clay courts on the property, and steps lead down to a small swimming cove that is more platform than sand, with clear water. Family suites are some of the largest in Dubrovnik, often with two separate bedrooms and a balcony big enough for breakfast. The 9.2 rating across more than 4,600 reviews shows families come away happy.
Hotel Dubrovnik Palace
Babin Kuk
Wonderful
1,820 reviews
Babin Kuk 5-star with a dedicated baby-changing room near the lobby toilets, a steriliser starter pack on free loan, and the kitchen's baby-food prep service: any vegetable on the menu can be steamed and puréed to order at no charge.
From
€1820/night
Why families love Hotel Dubrovnik Palace
The premium pick for families with under-twos who want full resort facilities. The baby-food prep service is rare anywhere in Europe and is a quiet game-changer for parents who don't want to bring a hand-blender. Private beach is small but shallow at the shoreline, good for first dips with a baby in the carrier.
Royal Palm Hotel
Lapad
Wonderful
480 reviews
Lapad 5-star with one of the larger family rooms (38 m²) so a cot fits without blocking the wardrobe, and an in-house mini-fridge stocked at no charge for parents who need to keep formula or expressed milk cold overnight.
From
€746/night
Why families love Royal Palm Hotel
Decent middle-ground pick for families balancing budget and amenities. Five-star service at four-star prices because of the Lapad location vs Babin Kuk. The mini-fridge stocking is a quiet but real win for breastfeeding mothers - it just appears, not advertised loudly.
Valamar Tirena Hotel
Dubrovnik
Excellent
1,135 reviews
Valamar Tirena sits on Babin Kuk with three hard courts and a budget-conscious family-resort feel. The hotel runs the Maro Kids' Club for 4 to 12s, has a generous outdoor pool with a slide, and a 200m walk to Copacabana Beach.
From
€838/night
Why families love Valamar Tirena Hotel
I recommend Valamar Tirena to tennis-playing families on a budget in Babin Kuk. Its three hard courts can often be used without booking at off-peak times, and rackets can be rented. The Maro Kids' Club, included for ages 4 to 12, runs from 9 to 5 and offers supervised tennis sessions twice a week. The outdoor pool slide is a favourite even for older children. Rooms are dated but clean, and Copacabana Beach is about 200 m away.
Royal Blue Hotel
Lapad
Excellent
320 reviews
Adults-feeling 5-star that nonetheless takes babies well: in-room highchair on request (instead of communal restaurant chairs), bottle warmer on free loan, and a quieter pool zone away from the main pool that suits naps better.
From
€789/night
Why families love Royal Blue Hotel
For families with one quiet baby rather than a full toddler crew, this works. The in-room highchair is unusual - most hotels only have restaurant ones - and means feeding can happen in the room when the baby is overtired. The pool deck has a shaded section that parents can reserve once.
Hotel Dubrovnik
Lapad
Good
580 reviews
Budget 3-star pick in Lapad for families watching cost. Cots are charged once per stay, and otherwise the baby kit is standard: highchairs at meals, a lift to all floors, pharmacies within walking distance. The most affordable of the five picks.
From
€550/night
Why families love Hotel Dubrovnik
Hotel Dubrovnik is the realistic budget choice in Lapad for parents travelling with a baby. The three-star keeps the essentials right: highchairs at meals, a lift to all floors, pharmacies within walking distance and a cot charged once per stay. Lapad bay's playground is a six-minute walk and the beach about ten, and there is a pool and family rooms. Rooms are smaller and plainer, which the 7.6 rating reflects.
💡Tips from parents who've stayed
- 1Book family suites early for July and August, when Dubrovnik is busiest and larger rooms sell out first.
- 2Ask for a suite with blackout curtains, which several hotels provide, so children can sleep despite late summer sunsets.
- 3Choose a suite with a kitchenette if you want to prepare breakfasts and snacks, as eating out in Dubrovnik adds up quickly.
- 4Request a free cot at booking; Royal Neptun, Hotel Ivka and Sun Gardens all provide them on request.
- 5Walk the city walls as early as possible, before the heat and the cruise-ship crowds, then return to your suite for a rest.
- 6Use the local buses from Lapad and Babin Kuk or the Sun Gardens shuttle instead of driving into the Old Town.
