At a glance
Tucked inside the medieval walls of Korčula Old Town, a few steps from the house where Marco Polo is said to have been born, Lešić Dimitri Palace occupies a former 18th-century bishop’s residence that took five years to restore.
Rather than standard rooms, the palace offers just six independent suites, each designed around a different stop on Polo’s Silk Road journey, from the South Asian-inspired Ceylon to the three-bedroom Venice, complete with a carved wooden balcony.
Every suite comes with its own kitchenette, and the palace’s Michelin-starred LD restaurant looks out over the Adriatic and the Korčula archipelago from a terrace built above the Old Town wall, serving seafood alongside the estate’s own olive oils and wines made from indigenous grk and pošip grapes. The spa’s Thai and Ayurvedic treatments round out a stay that feels closer to a private residence than a hotel, in the most walkable part of one of Dalmatia’s most underrated islands.
For couples who want Dalmatian island life without the crowds of Hvar or the scale of Dubrovnik, Lešić Dimitri Palace is a natural fit for a quieter final stop on a Dalmatian coast itinerary, or as a honeymoon destination in its own right.
Highlights

Croatia
Croatia is one of Europe’s hidden gems. This stunning and mysterious country is full of history. You can go island hopping and enjoy pristine beaches without being surrounded by loads of tourists. What’s more, Croatia is cheap by European standards so you can really splash out. Go before everyone else realises what they’re missing. Here’s our gay Croatia travel guide.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.

Dubrovnik, Mostar & Kotor: A Balkans Coastal Discovery

This itinerary treats Dubrovnik as a base rather than a single stop, using it to reach two neighbouring countries most travellers never quite make time for. A day trip crosses into Bosnia and Herzegovina to reach Mostar, a city defined by its 16th-century Ottoman bridge and a history of destruction and rebuilding still visible at every turn.
