In the heart of Adriatic, art, history, and the sublime beauty of nature have woven their stories into a single, harmonious tapestry known as LOPUD 1483. 

The Enchanting LOPUD 1483 Sanctuary

Perched on the northern peninsula of Lopud Island, this 15th-century Franciscan monastery has witnessed centuries unfold, silently overlooking the Elaphiti Islands and the rugged beauty of Croatia's Dalmatian coast.

Brought back to life through the visionary passion of Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza and her devoted family, LOPUD 1483 is more than a destination; it is a journey into the realms of the past, a voyage into natural beauty, and a sanctuary for the soul.

Step through the ageless doors of this remarkable sanctuary, and you will find yourself immersed in a world where time itself seems to pause. This five-suite retreat, lovingly restored, offers a haven where elegance meets tranquility and where the senses are invited to explore and indulge.

Timeless Elegance and Tranquility

Within the walls of this ancient fortress, history resonates in every stone, and each corner tells a story. The 15th-century architecture, preserved with meticulous care, is a canvas for contemporary sophistication. Renowned designer Paola Lenti's creations blend seamlessly with Renaissance furniture from the Thyssen-Bornemisza collection, resulting in a symphony of old and new. Each suite boasts wooden floors, ceilings that tell stories of the ages, and views that are nothing short of enchanting—whether it's the sea that beckons or the gardens that whisper secrets.

Luxurious Relaxation

For those in search of inner tranquility, Lopud 1483 offers a holistic wellness experience. Local-inspired spa treatments await, and meditation experts can be called upon request. On the grounds, the Sacred Garden with its nine meditation stations beckons, offering a sanctuary of peace, silence, and the soothing aroma of healing herbs. Lopud 1483 has cast its spell on many, including David Beckham and his family, who chose this sanctuary for their moments of respite.

And when the sun paints the sky with its warm hues, ascend to the Sunset Terrace, crowning the fortress. Here, you can sink into plush cushions, savor cocktails, and drink in the panoramic view of Lopud and the Elaphiti Islands. It's a moment suspended in time, a memory etched in your heart.

You won't be alone in this enchanting haven. A discreet and highly-trained team of hospitality professionals, the custodians of Lopud's legacy, will cater to your every need. A private chef, wielding the finest local and seasonal ingredients (many plucked from their own gardens), will craft menus that dance to your palate's tune.  

Best of all, this captivating getaway is just seven miles away from the UNESCO World Heritage site of Dubrovnik. You can wander along the ancient city walls and take a leisurely stroll down the renowned Stradun, or visit Game of Thrones filming location, Arboretum Trsteno.

In the heart of Lopud 1483, time slows, and the senses awaken to the beauty of history, art, and nature converging in harmonious union. It is a place where the soul finds solace, where the spirit soars, and where memories are woven into the very fabric of existence. Lopud 1483 is not just a destination; it's an ode to the timeless allure of the human spirit. For more information about this enchanting retreat, check out their website Lopud1483.
