Villa Argentina

Villa Argentina Dubrovnik, formerly known as Grand Villa Argentina, is a landmark 5-star seafront hotel east of Dubrovnik Old Town. Following an extensive transformation, the property returns with 96 redesigned rooms and suites, Mediterranean gardens, direct access to the sea, indoor and outdoor pools, a substantially expanded spa and new restaurant, bar and beach-club concepts.

The hotel is about 0.7 km from Dubrovnik Old Town, making it especially appealing to travellers who want a quiet garden-and-sea retreat while remaining within walking distance of the historic centre.

What happened to Grand Villa Argentina?

Grand Villa Argentina has been transformed and relaunched as Villa Argentina. The longstanding Dubrovnik hotel closed for a major redevelopment that redesigned the accommodation, gardens, pools, wellness facilities and dining areas.

The relaunched property keeps the historic villa identity and exceptional position above the Adriatic, but it should effectively be treated as a new hotel product. Older descriptions of Grand Villa Argentina’s 131 rooms, restaurants and leisure facilities no longer accurately describe the current hotel.

Adriatic Luxury Hotels currently lists Villa Argentina as reopening in 2026. Because the official page still carries a “Coming soon” message, check current booking availability directly before relying on a particular opening date.

Is Villa Argentina a good choice?

Villa Argentina is best suited to travellers who want more than a city hotel but do not want to give up easy access to Dubrovnik Old Town.

The combination of gardens, pools, direct sea access and extensive wellness facilities creates a more relaxed resort atmosphere than hotels inside the walls, while the Old Town remains within walking distance.

Best reasons to stay here

• Direct access to the Adriatic
• Large outdoor pool plus indoor pool
• Landscaped Mediterranean gardens
• Views toward Lokrum, the Old Harbour and Dubrovnik
• Extensive new spa and wellness facilities
• Only 96 rooms after the redevelopment
• Walkable to Dubrovnik Old Town
• Onsite parking and valet parking
• 24-hour room service

Things to consider

• The property is outside rather than inside Dubrovnik Old Town
• Some rooms have stronger sea views and balconies than others
• Waterfront access is a Mediterranean bathing area rather than a broad sandy beach
• Luxury pricing reflects the setting, redevelopment and facilities
• Until the official “Coming soon” status is removed, confirm that the hotel is accepting guests for your exact dates

Location near Dubrovnik Old Town

Villa Argentina is on Frana Supila, east of Dubrovnik’s historic centre and close to the Ploče side of the city.

The official hotel information places the property approximately 0.7 km / 0.4 mi from Dubrovnik Old Town, with Dubrovnik Airport around 22.4 km away.

This location gives you an attractive balance: the gardens and waterfront feel removed from the busy Old Town streets, but you can still walk to Dubrovnik’s major attractions rather than depending on buses or taxis.

Rooms and suites at Villa Argentina

The transformed Villa Argentina has 96 rooms and suites, considerably fewer than the former Grand Villa Argentina. The new accommodation combines contemporary interiors with the character of the original villa and strong use of natural materials, Mediterranean colours and sea-facing spaces.

Current categories include:

Choose the room by view and balcony

Villa Argentina is a property where room category matters. Do not assume every room has a balcony or the same panorama.

If the reason you are booking is the view toward Lokrum or Dubrovnik, choose a category that explicitly says sea view. If outdoor space is important, also make sure the category specifically includes a balcony.

Current room amenities

• Air conditioning with individual climate control
• Complimentary WiFi
• Fully stocked minibar
• Coffee and tea facilities
• Complimentary bottled water
• Smart TV with international channels
• Safe
• Bathrobes and slippers
• Luxury toiletries
• Turndown service
• 24-hour room service
• Pillow choice on request

These facilities are listed by the hotel for the newly redesigned accommodation.

Mediterranean gardens and direct sea access

The gardens have always been one of the defining features of this property, and the redesigned hotel continues to emphasize its lush Mediterranean setting.

Terraces and garden areas descend toward the waterfront, with views across the Adriatic toward Lokrum Island, Dubrovnik’s Old Harbour and the historic city.

The hotel also has direct access to the sea, making it easy to divide a day between sightseeing and swimming without travelling to a separate beach.

Cala Beach Club

Cala Beach Club is the new waterfront relaxation area at Villa Argentina. It combines sea access, comfortable seating, drinks and panoramic Adriatic views.

Think of Cala as a Mediterranean hotel beach club rather than a traditional sandy beach. It is designed for swimming, lounging and spending part of the day beside the sea without leaving the property.

Operating hours and seasonal availability can change, so check the current schedule during your stay.

Indoor and outdoor swimming pools

One of the most significant changes after the transformation is the expanded pool offering.

Outdoor pool

The new outdoor pool measures approximately 28 m × 5 m and is surrounded by a dedicated sundeck and wellness lounge area.

Indoor pool

The indoor pool measures approximately 18 m × 4 m and has surrounding loungers, providing a useful option outside the main summer swimming season.

The official hotel fact sheet currently lists both pools as part of the new wellness complex.

Spa, wellness and fitness

The redesigned Villa Argentina has a substantially expanded wellness area rather than the more limited spa associated with the former hotel.

Spa facilities

• Four treatment rooms
• Manicure room
• Finnish sauna
• Steam bath
• Himalayan salt room
• Ice fountain
• Relaxation zone with heated loungers
• Indoor swimming pool

Fitness centre

The fitness centre includes cardio and weight-training equipment.

Treatments

Treatments can be booked through the spa. As menus and appointment availability can change, reserve in advance if spa time is an important part of your stay.

The official wellness page describes an indoor spa area of more than 560 m².

Restaurants and bars

The former Grand Villa Argentina dining concepts have been replaced. The current hotel lists Liz at Villa Argentina, Copper Bar and Cala Beach Club.

Liz at Villa Argentina

Liz is the hotel’s signature restaurant. Its concept focuses on refined local cuisine, including Adriatic fish and seafood, regional ingredients and herbs, served in a garden setting surrounded by Mediterranean greenery.

The garden terrace is a major part of the experience, making it particularly appealing for a slower dinner after a day in the Old Town.

Copper Bar

Copper Bar sits within the hotel’s garden environment, with both indoor and outdoor seating. It is designed primarily around drinks, cocktails and relaxed evening use.

The garden setting makes it a good choice for a pre-dinner drink or a quieter evening without returning to the Old Town.

Cala Beach Club

Cala serves the hotel’s waterfront area, combining drinks and casual relaxation with sea views and direct access to the bathing area.

Breakfast

Villa Argentina’s new hotel fact sheet specifies an à la carte breakfast, replacing older descriptions of the Grand Villa Argentina breakfast setup.

Whether breakfast is included depends on the room rate or package you choose, so check the meal-plan details when booking.

Parking at Villa Argentina

The hotel currently lists both onsite parking and valet parking.

This is a useful advantage for travelers arriving with a rental car because parking near Dubrovnik Old Town can be difficult, particularly in summer.

Do not assume parking is complimentary. Check the current fee and availability with the hotel before arrival.

For broader advice, see our parking in Dubrovnik guide.

From Dubrovnik Airport

Dubrovnik Airport is approximately 22.4 km from Villa Argentina.

The hotel currently lists transfer arrangements and car rental among its services.

Other options include:

• Taxi
• Pre-booked private transfer
• Airport bus followed by a short local connection
• Rental car

Confirm the price and exact arrangements when booking rather than assuming an airport transfer is automatically included.

Is Villa Argentina good for couples?

Yes. Couples are one of the strongest matches for this property.

Sea-view rooms, Mediterranean gardens, waterfront swimming, an extensive spa, Liz restaurant and sunset drinks at Copper Bar give Villa Argentina a more romantic resort character than a conventional city hotel.

It is particularly attractive for travelers who want to spend part of each day sightseeing and the rest relaxing by the sea or pool.

Is Villa Argentina good for families?

The indoor and outdoor pools, direct sea access, gardens and larger suite categories make Villa Argentina potentially attractive for families who want luxury accommodation close to Dubrovnik Old Town.

However, this is a sophisticated resort-style hotel rather than a children-focused property with large entertainment programmes. Families requiring connecting rooms, specific bed configurations or children’s facilities should confirm those details directly before booking.

Accessibility and mobility

The property has undergone a major modern redevelopment, but it is still built on Dubrovnik’s sloping coastline with gardens and waterfront areas arranged across several levels.

Travelers with specific mobility requirements should confirm:

• accessible room availability;
• bathroom configuration;
• step-free routes between reception and restaurants;
• access to pools and spa;
• access to Cala Beach Club and the waterfront.

Confirm these details directly rather than assuming every garden and sea-level area is step-free.

Villa Argentina vs Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik

Villa Argentina and Hotel Excelsior are neighboring 5-star seafront properties within walking distance of the Old Town, but they offer noticeably different experiences.

Choose Villa Argentina if landscaped gardens, a large outdoor pool and a quieter resort atmosphere are priorities. Choose Hotel Excelsior if you prefer a larger established grand-hotel environment with several mature restaurant concepts.
