Vila Biser Ploče Dubrovnik: 5-Bedroom Waterfront Heritage Villa with Heated Pool & Adria

This stunning luxury villa rental in Dubrovnik occupies a privileged waterfront position just steps from the ancient city walls, where centuries of maritime history meet refined modern living. Vila Biser Ploče Dubrovnik is a beautifully restored 17th-century residence that commands sweeping panoramas across the Adriatic Sea towards Lokrum Island, delivering an unforgettable stay for up to ten guests across five elegant en-suite bedrooms. With its heated saltwater pool, private spa facilities, and direct proximity to Old Town, this is one of the most distinguished properties on the Dalmatian coast.

Inside Vila Biser Ploče Dubrovnik

Step through the original stone entrance and you are immediately enveloped by the warmth of a home that has been carefully brought into the present without erasing its storied past. Exposed limestone walls, hand-restored wooden ceiling beams, and terracotta floor tiles speak to the villa’s heritage, while contemporary furnishings, subtle recessed lighting, and climate control ensure every modern comfort is at hand. The generous living room serves as the heart of the home, with deep sofas arranged around a statement fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the glittering sea beyond. Natural light floods every corner, reflecting off polished stone surfaces and lending the space a luminous, airy quality throughout the day.

The fully equipped kitchen has been designed with serious entertaining in mind. Premium appliances, abundant counter space, and a large dining table for ten make preparing and sharing meals a pleasure rather than a chore. Whether you are whipping up a seafood feast with ingredients from the local market or simply enjoying morning coffee as sunlight streams in from the terrace, the kitchen feels both functional and beautiful. Each of the five double bedrooms features its own en-suite bathroom finished in natural stone and fitted with rainfall showers. Bedrooms on the upper floors enjoy elevated sea views, while ground-level rooms open directly onto the garden and pool terrace, offering effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Luxurious bed linens, blackout curtains, and individually controlled air conditioning ensure restful sleep no matter the season.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The outdoor spaces at Vila Biser Ploče Dubrovnik are nothing short of spectacular. A heated 32 m² saltwater swimming pool sits at the centre of the terraced garden, its turquoise water contrasting beautifully against the warm Dalmatian stone that surrounds it. Sun loungers line the poolside, positioned to capture both morning and afternoon sun, while a shaded pergola draped in fragrant jasmine provides a cool retreat during the hottest hours. An al fresco dining area accommodates the full party of ten, making sunset dinners overlooking the Adriatic a nightly ritual you will look forward to.

Beyond the pool, the villa’s private spa and sauna room offers a tranquil space for relaxation after a day of exploring. Lush Mediterranean planting, including olive trees, lavender, and bougainvillea, frames the property on every side, creating a sense of seclusion that feels remarkable given the proximity to the city centre. The panoramic seaview stretches from the fortified walls of Dubrovnik’s Old Town in the west to the wooded silhouette of Lokrum Island to the south, a vista that shifts in colour and mood from dawn to dusk.

Exploring Dubrovnik City and Beyond

Vila Biser Ploče Dubrovnik places you within a five-minute walk of Ploče Gate, one of the principal entrances to the UNESCO-listed Old Town. From here, the iconic Stradun promenade, the Rector’s Palace, and the Franciscan Monastery are all reachable on foot in under fifteen minutes. Banje Beach, Dubrovnik’s most celebrated stretch of sand, lies approximately 300 metres from the villa, ideal for a morning swim before the crowds arrive. For a more secluded bathing experience, take a short ferry from Old Port to Lokrum Island, where rocky coves and a saltwater lake await amid botanical gardens.

Dining options abound in the surrounding Ploče neighbourhood and within the city walls. Restaurant 360, perched atop the medieval fortifications, offers fine dining with extraordinary views, while Proto, tucked away on a quiet Old Town lane, has been serving exceptional Dalmatian seafood for over a century. The Gruž market, a twenty-minute stroll or brief taxi ride away, is the place to source fresh fish, local cheeses, and seasonal produce.
