Best All-Inclusive Hotels in Dubrovnik for Families (2026)
5 family-friendly hotels with all inclusive in Dubrovnik . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Dubrovnik restaurants charge 15 to 25 EUR per main course in the Old Town. For a family of four eating three meals a day over a week, that adds up to over 1,000 EUR on top of your hotel bill. An all-inclusive hotel solves this entirely: meals, drinks, snacks, and usually a kids club are bundled into one nightly rate. In Dubrovnik, five solid all-inclusive options exist, priced from 220 to 447 EUR/night for a family of four in July 2026. That range covers everything from a 3-star buffet to premium gourmet dining with poolside cocktails. Most cluster on the Babin Kuk peninsula, 3 km west of the Old Town, with one standout in Cavtat, 20 km south. None sit inside the walled city, which is actually a good thing: Babin Kuk has beaches, pools, and space for kids to run without dodging tourist crowds on marble streets. If your kids also need supervised entertainment, three of these hotels have dedicated kids clubs.
Getting around is simple. Bus 6 runs from Babin Kuk to Pile Gate every 15 minutes for 2 EUR from the driver or 1.50 EUR from a kiosk. The Lapad promenade links Babin Kuk hotels to Lapad Beach, a 20-minute waterfront walk manageable with a stroller. For groceries, Konzum supermarkets are in Lapad and near Babin Kuk. If your all-inclusive does not cover every snack craving, a pizza in Lapad runs 8 to 12 EUR. The Old Town itself is steep, full of stairs, and not stroller-friendly: bring a carrier for toddlers. The cable car to Mount Srdj costs 27 EUR return for adults, free for under-4s, and the panoramic view is the best photo op in Croatia. For beach days outside the hotel, Copacabana Beach on Babin Kuk is sandy and shallow.
🍽️Why all-inclusive works so well for families in Dubrovnik
All-inclusive in Dubrovnik is not the same as in Antalya. You will not find sprawling mega-resorts with 10 restaurants and a waterpark on site. Here it means a hotel with buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner, local drinks and cocktails, and usually a pool and kids club included. The Rixos is the exception, offering 24-hour room service and premium spirits as part of the package. Everyone else runs a European-style programme: set meal times, limited snack hours, and a pool bar that closes at sundown.
The question most families ask is whether the all-inclusive premium is worth it versus half-board and eating out. In July 2026, the Rixos costs 447 EUR/night all-inclusive for a family. A comparable half-board room at Hotel Kompas, which has a similar pool setup, runs about 350 EUR plus 50 to 70 EUR per day in extra meals and drinks. The maths usually favours all-inclusive once you add poolside drinks, ice creams, and lunch for the kids.
Cavtat is 20 km south of Dubrovnik but connected by a regular ferry (35 minutes) and bus 10 (40 minutes). The Remisens Albatros in Cavtat is all-inclusive and cheaper than Dubrovnik options, but you trade proximity to the Old Town for a quieter harbour village with clear water and a traffic-free promenade. Families with younger kids often prefer Cavtat precisely because it is calmer and the beach is easier to manage.
Parent's take
We booked the Valamar Sunny for five nights in July because the total cost, 1,290 EUR all-in for two adults and two kids, was less than what friends paid for half-board at the Hilton Imperial. The food was not gourmet. The pasta station got the job done at lunch and the grill at dinner was decent. Our kids did not care about Michelin stars. They cared about unlimited ice cream from the pool bar and being allowed to walk to Maro World on their own. By day three we had not left the hotel complex once.
Our Top 5 Picks
Hotels in Dubrovnik with all inclusive, sorted by guest rating.
Sun Gardens Dubrovnik
Orasac
Wonderful
2,338 reviews
Sun Gardens runs the Marco Polo Kids Club with four age groups: baby club (12 months-3 years), Explorers (3-6), Junior Club (7-10), and a teen program (11-15). The baby club is the only hotel creche in the Dubrovnik area, staffed by qualified childcare workers. Six pools include a dedicated kids pool and an indoor pool for rainy days.

Why families love Sun Gardens Dubrovnik
The baby club was the reason we picked Sun Gardens over the Valamar hotels. Our 2-year-old went in for two hours each morning while we swam in the adult pool. The staff sent us photos on the resort app. The older kids spent entire afternoons at the Junior Club doing pool relay races and treasure hunts. The resort feels isolated in Orasac, 20 minutes from the Old Town, but the shuttle runs every hour and honestly we only left twice in five days.
Wonderful
4,448 reviews
Rixos Premium sits on a clifftop in Lapad with its own Rixy Club for children aged 4 and up. The indoor play area stays open year-round, making it the only Dubrovnik option outside summer. Two outdoor pools have a kids section, and the clifftop terrace overlooks the Adriatic with Lokrum Island in the distance.
From
€425/night
Why families love Rixos Premium Dubrovnik
The Rixos location sold us. Fifteen-minute walk to the Old Town along the coastal path, Copacabana beach five minutes away, and the kids club kept our 6-year-old busy while we had coffee on the terrace. The indoor play room saved a rainy afternoon in late June. Rooms are large enough for a family of four without feeling cramped. The breakfast buffet has a dedicated kids corner with pancakes and fruit.
Royal Neptun Hotel
Babin Kuk
Wonderful
4,646 reviews
Royal Neptun is Dubrovnik's tallest building, perched above Babin Kuk with sweeping views of the Elaphite Islands. The all-inclusive plan covers buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner plus house drinks. An indoor pool operates year-round, and the outdoor cliff-top pool opens June to September. No dedicated kids club, but babysitting is available on request.
From
€220/night
Why families love Royal Neptun Hotel
Royal Neptun surprised us. The views from the 10th-floor breakfast room made every morning feel special. The indoor pool saved two rainy afternoons in late June. For all-inclusive at 220 EUR/night, we expected mediocre food, and breakfast was actually good with lots of choice. Dinner was more hit-or-miss: themed nights worked better than the regular buffet. The walk to Copacabana Beach takes 10 minutes downhill but 15 back up. The bus stop outside the hotel connects to the Old Town in 20 minutes.
Sunny Dubrovnik by Valamar
Babin Kuk
Very Good
2,805 reviews
Sunny Dubrovnik is the all-inclusive Valamar property on Babin Kuk, right next to Maro World. The 410 EUR/night price includes all meals, drinks, and kids club access. For families who do not want to budget for restaurant bills on top of hotel costs, this is the simplest option. The outdoor pool has a dedicated kids section and a pool bar.
From
€410/night
Why families love Sunny Dubrovnik by Valamar
The all-inclusive made this the easiest holiday we have had. Kids ate whenever they wanted, ice cream was included, and we did not open a wallet for five days. Maro World is literally next door, our kids walked there alone after day two. The hotel is a 3-star so rooms are basic, the bathroom is small, and do not expect a view unless you pay the supplement. But the value calculation works out. We spent 2,050 EUR for five nights all-inclusive for a family of four. Try doing that at Sun Gardens.
Remisens Hotel Albatros
Cavtat
Very Good
2,300 reviews
The Albatros sits across the road from Cavtat's main beach, 20 km south of Dubrovnik. Its all-inclusive package covers three buffet meals, house drinks, and afternoon snacks. The outdoor pool has a separate kids section, and the kids club runs daily activities for **ages 4 to 7** from June through October.
From
€306/night
Why families love Remisens Hotel Albatros
We picked Cavtat over Dubrovnik because the prices were lower and the pace was calmer. The Albatros buffet was not fancy but covered enough variety for five days. Our kids spent mornings at the kids club making crafts and afternoons in the pool. The beach is pebble, not sand, and the water is crystal clear. Cavtat promenade has gelato shops the kids dragged us to every evening. The ferry to Dubrovnik Old Town took 35 minutes and ran often enough.
💡How to pick the right all-inclusive hotel in Dubrovnik
- 1Book July and August at least four months ahead. The Rixos and Sun Gardens sell out their all-inclusive rooms by March. Valamar Sunny has more availability but family rooms with a balcony go early. September is 20 to 30 percent cheaper and the sea is still warm enough for swimming.
- 2Compare half-board plus estimated extras against the all-inclusive price before booking. At Rixos, the all-inclusive premium is about 80 EUR/night over room-only, covering 24-hour dining and premium drinks. At Valamar Sunny, room-only is not offered at all. Use a spreadsheet with your family's typical daily spend on meals, drinks, and snacks to compare honestly.
- 3If you pick the Remisens Albatros in Cavtat, budget 30 minutes each way to reach the Old Town. Bus 10 runs hourly for 2 EUR. The Cavtat-Dubrovnik ferry is faster but costs 12 EUR return. Cavtat itself has a promenade with gelato shops and calm water for paddling, so you may not feel the need to leave.
- 4Check what is actually included. At Sun Gardens, the standard rate is half-board and all-inclusive is a supplement. At Rixos, everything from the minibar to room service is part of the price. At Valamar Sunny, drinks are limited to self-service cocktails and local beer. These differences add up over a week, so ask the hotel directly if the website is unclear.
- 5If you are visiting outside June to September, check the indoor pool hotels in Dubrovnik page. The Rixos and Royal Neptun both have indoor pools, but Valamar Sunny and Albatros do not. A rainy day without an indoor pool on an outdoor-focused all-inclusive is not ideal.
