Kako spakirati kovčeg (a da ne izgubite razum)
A refined packing guide for your Dubrovnik escape
Packing a suitcase – for some, it’s an organisation challenge but for others, it’s the last-minute panic that ends with a jumble of shoes, linen shirts, and forgotten chargers. And that is why we decided to write a new blog post with a topic: how to pack like a seasoned traveller – effortlessly, stylishly, and with just enough space left for a bottle of local wine.
1. Start With a Thoughtful List
Forget generic checklists – think about what you would like to do in Dubrovnik. Will you be dining at our sea-view Restaurant Tramuntana? Or perhaps would you like to enjoy live classical music at the Dubrovnik Summer Festival?
After you planned your activities, start with categories: daywear, evening wear, swimwear, accessories, tech, documents. Add your essentials, but keep it curated. And remember: if you are visiting us, you won’t need to pack slippers, robes, hairdryers, or beach towels – they are already here, waiting.
2. Pack Smart, Pack Stylish
Breathable fabrics like linen, cotton, and silk are the best for hot Dubrovnik sun. For daywear, choose light colours and relaxed tailoring. For evening, we suggest: a crisp shirt, a maxi dress, or lightweight trousers paired with a statement piece of jewellery, maybe something you will pick up at one of Dubrovnik’s artisan boutiques.
Pro tip: Neutral tones with one or two accents make mixing and matching a breeze.
3. Roll, Don’t Fold (Even Luxury Likes Efficiency)
Rolling your clothes saves space and minimises creases. Use packing cubes if you want that extra layer of organisation. Shoes can go at the bottom and your favourite fragrance and jewellery should travel in a structured pouch or case – it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
Bonus tip: Store socks or belts inside your shoes to save space.
4. Shoes: Choose Wisely
Three pairs. That is all you need. One pair of comfortable yet elegant flats or sandals for strolling through the Old Town. One refined pair for dinner at our intimate summer residence Palace Natali or for a concert at the Rector’s Palace. And of course, beach slides for relaxing by the sea.
5. Luxe Beauty, Travel Size
We have taken care of the basics – luxury toiletries await you in your room. But if you have personal favourites, decant them into elegant travel-size containers. Always use a toiletry bag to avoid the dreaded shampoo spill – even first-class packing isn’t immune to turbulence.
6. Plan for the Moment
Dubrovnik isn’t just about history and sea – it is also about experiences. Pack a light scarf or pashmina for a breezy boat ride and bring something fun for those sunset cocktails in our Cave Bar More.
7. Leave Room for Souvenirs
Trust us – you will want to take a piece of Dubrovnik home. Whether it’s local olive oil, artisan jewellery, or a boutique fashion find, make sure your suitcase isn’t packed to the brim.
8. Hand Luggage Essentials
Keep your travel documents, sunglasses, a good book, and perhaps a linen shirt or lightweight dress in your carry-on. Arriving early? We will store your luggage while you ease into your holiday – no stress, just sea views.
