Sun Gardens Dubrovnik

Thirteen restaurants and bars is not a boast you can shrug off, and Sun Gardens backs it up with four hundred rooms, suites, and apartments spread along the Croatian coast outside Dubrovnik. The resort's interiors lean sharp and contemporary, with Adriatic blue deployed tastefully rather than relentlessly. Three pools, a beach, the region's largest spa, and a food market stocking local pastries, fish, and wine round out a property that runs big without feeling anonymous.
