4- and 5-star hotels in Mokošica

A shortlist of 4- and 5-star properties in Mokošica, the quiet suburb at the head of the Rijeka Dubrovačka fjord 8km from Dubrovnik's walled city. It is aimed at travellers who want space, kitchens and pools over promenade life, and who accept that a car makes the difference here.

Staying in Mokošica

Mokošica is the last real neighbourhood before Dubrovnik turns into countryside, at the head of the fjord. It splits in two: old Mokošica, a small stone village on the water, and new Mokošica, 1970s apartment blocks on the hill above. Both are quiet — by 9pm the balconies are lit but the streets below are empty, with cicadas, the odd moped and someone's television through an open window. The fjord is a proper wetland, with reed beds, mullet, cormorants and freshwater springs bubbling up at Komolac. There is no promenade to stroll and no bar scene to wander into.

The listed hotels are villas and apartments scattered across the settlement and its hamlets — Rozat, Prijevor, Komolac and the lanes around Mokosica itself — rather than a single hotel strip, so almost every property sits in its own garden or on its own hillside. It suits retirees renting for a month, families with young kids who want a pool and a kitchen more than a view, and drivers using Mokošica as a base for day trips to Konavle or the Pelješac vineyards. It does not suit anyone without a car chasing dinner after 9pm, or anyone expecting the open Adriatic.

Where to stay in Mokošica

Rozat

Rozat is the hamlet named in the addresses of Palazzo Vimbula, Apartment Panorama Rozat and Villa Fortunei. It sits above the fjord bank within walking distance of old Mokošica's shore path, where rows of dinghies at the Orsan yacht club give way to reed beds and boat sheds as you head towards Komolac.

Our picks here: Palazzo Vimbula Five Star Luxury Villa · Apartment Panorama Rozat · Villa Fortunei

Prijevor

Prijevor gives its name to Villa Arion, Two Bedroom Apartment In Mokosica and Sunny Villa with Pool BBQ View Parking. It is part of the quiet hillside settlement above the water, where by 9pm the balconies are lit but the streets below are empty — cicadas, the odd moped, someone's television through an open window.

Our picks here: Villa Arion · Two Bedroom Apartment In Mokosica · Sunny Villa with Pool Bbq View Parking

Komolac

Komolac is where freshwater springs bubble up at the head of the fjord, and Helikon carries the name in its address. The reed beds here draw herons and cormorants, and the shore path east from old Mokošica reaches the spring on foot.

Our picks here: Helikon

Plan your stay

Getting there and around

Bus 8 connects Mokošica to the Old Town every 20-30 minutes, and the suburb sits about 8km from the walled city at the head of the Rijeka Dubrovačka fjord. A car is not strictly necessary, but it makes the difference between a workable base and a frustrating one: without one, evenings and day trips beyond the bus route are limited, while with one, Konavle, Pelješac and the airport are all easily reachable. The pedestrian shore path runs from the small church in old Mokošica east along the fjord bank past the Orsan yacht club to the freshwater spring at Komolac, 3 km, and you can return by the same route or catch the 8 bus back from the main road.

When to go

Summer is when locals swim off the yacht club pontoons in old Mokošica — the fjord water is freshwater-brackish, colder than the sea and muddy underfoot, so proper sea swimming means driving or bussing to Lapad. The shore path to the Komolac spring is a spring and autumn walk: herons stand at low water among the reed beds, and the cicadas and lit balconies of high summer give the new town its evening character. Winter is quiet even by Mokošica's standards.

Things to do near Mokošica

Questions, answered

Can you swim in Mokošica?

Yes, but it's freshwater-brackish and colder than the sea, and the bottom is muddy. Locals swim off the yacht club pontoons in summer. For proper sea swimming you'll drive or bus to Lapad.

Do I need a car to stay in Mokošica?

Not strictly, since bus 8 connects to the Old Town every 20-30 minutes, but a car makes the difference between a workable base and a frustrating one. Without one, evenings and day trips beyond the bus route are limited.

Where can we eat in the evening?

Realistically one or two places, chief among them Konoba Orsan on the water in old Mokošica. New Mokošica has no real dinner scene beyond the grocer and a couple of cafés that close early, so most visitors self-cater or drive into Gruž for more choice.

Which hotels here have family rooms and cots?

Villa Lu sea view & SPA, Palazzo Vimbula Five Star Luxury Villa, Villa Fortunei, Penthouse Viewpoint, Sunny Villa with Pool BBQ View Parking and Vitality Villa Mariante Free Kajaks Sauna all list family rooms, and most of those also list a cot.

Which properties have a kitchen?

Two Bedroom Apartment In Mokosica and Three Bedroom Apartment Mokosica With Sea View 08 both list a kitchen and microwave, and dishwashers appear at Helikon, Villa Fortunei, Palazzo Vimbula and others — handy given the limited dinner options nearby.

Is there a walk from the village?

Yes. Start at the small church in old Mokošica, walk east along the fjord bank on the pedestrian shore path past the Orsan yacht club, reed beds and boat sheds to the freshwater spring at Komolac, 3 km in all, and return the same way or catch the 8 bus back.

Which hotels are 5-star?

Two: Palazzo Vimbula Five Star Luxury Villa at Gornji Rožat 15 and Villa Lu sea view & SPA at Uz Magistralu 140. All the others on this shortlist are 4-star villas and apartments.

Does Mokošica have a sea view?

Not the open Adriatic — the fjord is brackish water. Properties such as Villa Lu sea view & SPA and Three Bedroom Apartment Mokosica With Sea View 08 look over the fjord, and several others list a balcony or beach nearby.
