<p><strong>Club Valamar Hotel &#8211; 3***</strong></p>
<p>Within a stunning Mediterranean garden setting, the Valamar Club Dubrovnik sits on the shores of the Babin Kuk peninsula just a few minutes away from the magic of Dubrovnik’s old quarter. With the spotlight on sports, entertainment and non-stop fun in the sun for all ages, this Dubrovnik hotel is the definitive choice for activity-seekers and family holidays in Croatia. For quality leisure time the hotel’s incredible range of facilities offers everything from aerobics to table tennis, swimming lessons to football. Water sports fans can also indulge in swimming, diving in Dubrovnik, sailing and water-skiing from the shores of the lively Copacabana beach. Away from the activities, the Dubrovnik hotel’s spacious double or family rooms provide comfortable havens of peace and feature panoramic vistas of green Mediterranean gardens or the crystal blue sea. After a swim in the sea or a perfect day of diving in Dubrovnik, hunger may strike &#8211; pamper your palate with the aromatic flavours of local and international cuisine with Dubrovnik’s only light all-inclusive offer. Children get to eat with their friends at the special kiddies’ corner. Nearby, the wellness centre at the Valamar Dubrovnik President Hotel provides a sanctuary of wellbeing for a little well-deserved ‘me’ time. Just a few minutes away from our hotel in Dubrovnik, the ancient stone walls, terracotta tiled roofs and domed towers of Dubrovnik’s skyline rise above an iridescent sea. Here you can stroll through history in the city’s labyrinth of narrow streets during your family holidays in Croatia. Or pick up traditional crafts and products in local shops and colourful markets before treating yourself to some fish and seafood specialities in the old town.</p>

<h2>Accommodation details</h2>
<p>Club Valamar Hotel &#8211; 3***</p>
<p>Within a stunning Mediterranean garden setting, the Valamar Club Dubrovnik sits on the shores of the Babin Kuk peninsula just a few minutes away from the magic of Dubrovnik’s old quarter. With the spotlight on sports, entertainment and non-stop fun in the sun for all ages, this Dubrovnik hotel is the definitive choice for activity-seekers and family holidays in Croatia. For quality leisure time the hotel’s incredible range of facilities offers everything from aerobics to table tennis, swimming lessons to football. Water sports fans can also indulge in swimming, diving in Dubrovnik, sailing and water-skiing from the shores of the lively Copacabana beach. Away from the activities, the Dubrovnik hotel’s spacious double or family rooms provide comfortable havens of peace and feature panoramic vistas of green Mediterranean gardens or the crystal blue sea. After a swim in the sea or a perfect day of diving in Dubrovnik, hunger may strike &#8211; pamper your palate with the aromatic flavours of local and international cuisine with Dubrovnik’s only light all-inclusive offer. Children get to eat with their friends at the special kiddies’ corner. Nearby, the wellness centre at the Valamar Dubrovnik President Hotel provides a sanctuary of wellbeing for a little well-deserved ‘me’ time. Just a few minutes away from our hotel in Dubrovnik, the ancient stone walls, terracotta tiled roofs and domed towers of Dubrovnik’s skyline rise above an iridescent sea. Here you can stroll through history in the city’s labyrinth of narrow streets during your family holidays in Croatia. Or pick up traditional crafts and products in local shops and colourful markets before treating yourself to some fish and seafood specialities in the old town.</p>
