Getting There and When to Go

Flights to Dubrovnik from the UK are frequent, making it a very accessible destination for a week-long break or a long weekend. The summer months offer the warmest weather, perfect for swimming and sunbathing, though the shoulder seasons of late spring and early autumn are often preferred by those who want to avoid the peak heat while still enjoying plenty of sunshine.

The waters are generally calm and very clean, making them ideal for a refreshing dip or an afternoon of snorkelling.

For those who enjoy a bit of activity, the region is excellent for watersports. You can hire kayaks or take boat trips to explore the nearby islands, which offer a slightly slower pace and hidden coves.
