Dubrovnik — Dubrovnik, Croatia
A stone terrace at sea level you jump straight off, minutes from Dubrovnik's Old Town walls.
Built into a hillside overlooking Lokrum Island, the hotel has a broad stone terrace at sea level, with dining tables along one side and an edge that drops straight into the water. You jump in from the terrace and come back up one of the short ladders. Guests describe the sea right out front as calm enough to feel like a giant saltwater pool, a better swim than the hotel's tidal rock pool, which drains and roughens with the tide. Dubrovnik's Old Town walls are an easy walk away.
