01 · In a sentence

Villa Sheherezade in Dubrovnik, open JuneSeptember.

Guests arrive at Villa Sheherezade to discover a restored Dalmatian estate perched above Dubrovnik's coastline, where stone terraces open onto Adriatic views and candlelit dinners unfold beneath centuries-old pines.

The 6,500 square-meter property accommodates ceremonies in its manicured gardens and receptions in restored period rooms, with staff managing logistics so guests move seamlessly between spaces.

Every arrival, every course, every moment registers with the weight of authentic Croatian elegance—no artificial flourishes, just stone, sea, and service refined over decades.

Very nice place to visit. You can rent this whole space for about 10k$ a day or negotiate a deal. This place is usually hired for posh weddings or rich individuals. The place has a private kitchen and beautiful garden with a private beach and yes you can also do sun bathing there. The stuff is very friendly and they have fast service. Enjoy your stay here.
