Your stay in Dubrovnik, in one conversation
Charlize builds hotels, activities and dining around your wishes, dates and budget.
Travelling to Dubrovnik with children takes a little planning. The UNESCO-listed Old Town is compact, steep and best enjoyed on day visits rather than as a base, so most families do better choosing a neighbourhood that offers space, parking, beaches and straightforward transport links. Lapad peninsula, the port district of Gruž, the coastal community of Konavle and the residential hillside of Gornji Kono all fit that profile, with a local bus or a short taxi ride connecting you to the city walls, the cable car and the ferry terminals for island day trips.
The accommodation options below cover a range of formats, from full apartments with living areas and kitchenettes that suit longer stays, to four-star hotels with pools and organised services that make a week away feel genuinely relaxing for parents too. Every property listed has earned a perfect guest score, which matters when you are travelling with children and cannot afford to gamble on unreliable service or poorly described rooms. Whether you need two connected rooms, a private terrace or simply a quiet street where toddlers can wind down after a long day of sightseeing, there is a practical choice here at every price point.

Frequently asked questions
Which Dubrovnik neighbourhood works best for families?+
Lapad is the most popular choice for families. It sits on a peninsula about three kilometres west of the Old Town, offering a sheltered pebbly beach at Lapad Bay, a flat promenade lined with cafes, supermarkets and playgrounds, and regular bus connections to the Pile Gate. Heritage Hotel Zagreb Dubrovnik and Hotel Aquarius are both located in Lapad, as are the Apartments Martha, giving families several price points in the same convenient area. Gruž, where Villa Hariett is situated, is equally practical because it sits next to the main bus station and the ferry port, making day trips to Lokrum or the Elaphiti Islands straightforward with children.
Are apartments a better option than hotels for families in Dubrovnik?+
For families staying more than three nights, apartments often make more sense. Options like Apartments L&M in Gornji Kono, Apartments Martha in Lapad, Apartments Midnight City in Montovjerna and Apartment Amfora all offer full or partial kitchen facilities, meaning you can prepare breakfasts and simple meals rather than paying restaurant prices for every sitting. Separate living areas also allow children to sleep while adults stay up, which matters on holiday. Apartment Amfora, priced at 320 euros per night as a whole unit, suits larger families or two-family groups who want a private, self-contained space. Apartments Midnight City at 137 euros per night represents the most budget-conscious entry point among the listed options.
How do families get from Dubrovnik accommodation to the Old Town and main attractions?+
Dubrovnik has a reliable public bus network operated by Libertas, and a single ticket covers most journeys between Lapad, Gruž and the Pile Gate, which is the main entrance to the Old Town. Buses run frequently during the day throughout summer. From the Pile Gate, the Dubrovnik cable car departs nearby and carries passengers up to Mount Srd for panoramic views, an activity children typically enjoy. Ferry services to Lokrum island leave from the Old Town harbour, while longer island excursions to Hvar, Korcula or the Elaphiti Islands depart from Gruž port. Families staying at Domare Stays in Konavle, the furthest option from the city centre at around 20 kilometres south, will need a car or organised transfer to move around comfortably.
What is the typical price range for family accommodation in Dubrovnik?+
Among the properties listed, nightly rates range from 137 euros for Apartments Midnight City in Montovjerna up to 320 euros for the whole Apartment Amfora unit. Mid-range options sit between 163 euros (Apartments Martha) and 243 euros (Hotel Aquarius), giving families a reasonable spread depending on the level of service they want. Villa Hariett in Gruž at 183 euros per night and Heritage Hotel Zagreb Dubrovnik in Lapad at 206 euros per night both offer four or three-star standing at prices that are competitive for peak-season Dubrovnik. All prices listed are per night and may vary by season and availability, so booking in advance is advisable, particularly for July and August.
