3 Best Hotels in The Pelješac Peninsula, Southern Dalmatia

Locals are proud of their seafaring history in Orebić, but the Mikulić family has gone the extra mile and turned their boutique hotel—one of the most elegant, charming, and classy hotels on Pelješac—into an unofficial seafaring museum. Previously a 17th-century church and then a schoolhouse, the hotel has been tastefully decorated with relics from past ages, from ancient Greek and Roman vessels to antique binoculars. The rooms are beautifully restored, with original stone walls, soft neutral furnishings, and paintings of ships adorning the walls. The family can also organize tastings at their nearby winery.

Set on a pebbly beach a 10-minute walk from the center of Orebić, this resort is a perfect base for the whole family. The kids can run wild at the pool and on the beach while the adults enjoy pleasant facilities such as a generous buffet, lounge bar, all-inclusive options, and evening entertainment. The rooms are simple but smartly decorated and spacious; most have sea views.

A prime location right beside the city walls makes up for the basic facilities at this family-run hotel. Consider it your home base for all things Mali Ston; the same family also operates Ston's famous salt pans, and you can buy souvenir bags in the restaurant. The whole place could use a refresh, but the staff is friendly and helpful and it makes a welcoming and practical base.
