Location
About the surrounding area of Villa GiovaNestled near Orasac in the Dubrovnik region, Zaton is a charming coastal village known for its traditional olive growing and fishing roots, now complemented by a thriving food scene. With over a dozen eateries, standout options include Tavern Arka, famed for oysters, ribeye steaks, and decadent desserts, and Konoba Ankora, which offers excellent seafood and vegetarian dishes. The village’s scenic bay setting and peaceful streets are perfect for leisurely strolls, with plenty of spots to swim or enjoy a gelato along the way.
Zaton makes an ideal base for exploring nearby islands or taking day trips to Dubrovnik and Split. If you choose to stay local, you’ll find beautiful beaches such as rocky Soline, central Zakon, and the secluded Gof beach. For a livelier beach scene, head to Copacabana Beach in Dubrovnik, which offers a popular beach bar and excellent facilities.
While Zaton lacks a modern promenade, its 3km shoreside path offers breathtaking views of the Adriatic. An evening walk here is a must – peaceful, scenic, and the perfect way to soak up the area’s charm.

Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Giova is an ideal family-friendly base for exploring Croatia, especially for those travelling with children. The private heated pool and outdoor play area make it perfect for younger guests, while Zaton’s laid-back atmosphere and shallow pebble beaches offer a safe, relaxing setting. Beach shoes are recommended and easily found at local kiosks.
Families often head into nearby Dubrovnik for a mix of culture, adventure, and seaside fun. A highlight is the buggy safari – a two-hour guided ride in 4-seater buggies, taking you through panoramic viewpoints, ancient fortresses, and wildlife-rich countryside. For a beach day, Lapad Beach is a standout choice with its sheltered bay, calm waters, and ample facilities including sun loungers, lifeguards, and nearby cafés and playgrounds – all just a 10-minute bus ride from the Old Town.
For a cultural touch, Dubrovnik’s historic city walls offer a fun and educational experience with towers, forts, and stunning views of the Adriatic and Old Port. Another family favourite is Cadmos Village Adventure Park, which features ziplines, a giant swing, archery, and a treetop restaurant – all within a nature-focused, sustainable setting that kids will love.
