Overview

Grebeni Lighthouse, a historic sentinel erected in 1872 by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, safeguards the bay of Lapad near Dubrovnik. Perched on the islet of Grebeni, a cluster of five small, rugged islands, the lighthouse marks a reef approximately 300 meters from the coast of the Lapad peninsula.Originally built to guide sailors safely into the port of Gruž, the lighthouse has since been automated and converted into a unique villa. The structure itself comprises a small, quadrangular stone tower connected to a ground-floor building, encompassing a total area of 140 square meters.Today, Grebeni Lighthouse offers visitors a chance to experience the solitude and beauty of the Adriatic. The villa accommodates up to eight guests and features five bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a spacious open-air terrace with a lounge area and pool. Concrete steps provide easy access to the sea, inviting guests to swim in the crystal-clear waters or explore the rocky coastline.Staying at the lighthouse provides a unique perspective of the Dubrovnik coastline, with panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea and the nearby Elaphite Islands. The lighthouse is powered by solar panels, embracing renewable energy. While offering complete privacy, it's also conveniently located just a short boat ride away from Dubrovnik's attractions.
