Overview

Just a short speedboat ride away from the captivating UNESCO World Heritage Site of Dubrovnik lies Lopud, a small island home to soft stone architecture, exotic gardens, and absolutely no cars at all. The elegant 15th-century monastery LOPUD 1483 steals the show: a private, tranquil retreat perched on the northernmost tip of the island with breath-taking views over the harbour and islands beyond.

Once a working monastery that housed 13 monk cells within its walls, LOPUD 1483 has been gracefully converted into a luxurious private home for up to ten guests, available only for exclusive hire. Five elegant suites overlook the Adriatic sea or the Medicinal garden, each boasting their own character, yet consistent in design and ambience, with an impressive contemporary art collection and exquisite Renaissance furniture.

Cuisine

The sacred garden at the heart of LOPUD 1483 is based around art, architecture, spirituality, and healing, and pays homage to deep, historical roots and the traditions of St Francis of Assisi. Soak up the Croatian sunshine as you dine alfresco on the sun deck or sit back with a drink on the sunset terrace set on the fortress walls. Menus are designed around you and your preferences, all created by your private chef using local produce, many of which is grown in the Renaissance garden and expertly matched with local and international wines paired by the Sommelier.

Sustainability

LOPUD 1483 focuses on wellness using natural, local, and sustainable ingredients, while in the spa the signature therapies are inspired by local treatments. In the kitchen, menus are designed using local produced sourced from the property's Renaissance garden.
