Banje Beach

Dubrovnik


By day this upmarket outfit on Banje Beach rents out sun loungers and umbrellas, and serves drinks to the bathers who come here to relax and rehydrate. Later on, it morphs into a cocktail bar and then a club as the night progresses. It can be deathly quiet after the beach-goers depart and before the clubbers descend.
