Close to the action
History-stuffed Dubrovnik – with its magnificent, marbled alleyways and olde worlde charm – is just a stone’s throw from Mlini, so be sure to carve out some days for exploring. From here, you can even ‘hop’ on a boat trip to Lokrum Island, where you might spy wild rabbits and roaming peacocks! It’s magical and then some.
A quaint Dalmatian village
Mlini is a handful of sun-bleached stone buildings cradled between a steep mountain and the Adriatic Sea.
