We loved our stay at Hotel Bozica on the island of Sipan (a short ferry-ride from Dubrovnik)! It’s in Sudurad: a small, quaint village with a beach-bar and 3 great restaurants. There’s also 1 in the hotel, but the menu is pricy. It’s definitely worth it and tasty, but if counting your euros, maybe don’t make it a nightly habit. HOWEVER, if you don’t get up for Bozica’s full complementary breakfast you’re missing out. It’s got everything, including eggs made-to-order in any way, personally served to your table.
The hotel rooms don’t look like they’ve been updated in a bit, but only minor things like scuffed paint and some fickle electrical switches were troublesome. The main lounge and bar look fairly recently redone though.
And the LOCATION is amazing! I’ve traveled a lot and this hotel has the best location out of any I’ve visited. The Adriatic is right at your feet, with the hotel built into a hill all the way down to the sea. There aren’t natural sandy beaches (though some other resorts have created man-made ones), but Sipan’s pebbly beaches and rocky coastline are still gorgeous with crystal clear water, amazing swimming, and kayaking! Also bring shoes for the pretty hiking trails. Just get a room with a sea-facing balcony: you’ll never have trouble waking up when you can enjoy your tea/coffee while sitting outside, taking in the view!
We went on the “shoulder” season in early September when things slow down. We will definitely be going back to Hotel Bozica soon!
